    Description

    This is one of the most concise and well-illustrated books on flying  twin-engine airplanes available. It covers all facets of multi-engine flight  with these features:
    Orientation to multi-engine terms, definitions, and systems
    Preflight, ground operations, takeoffs, high speed flight, slow flight,  stalling, and landings
    Night and IFR operations
    Includes a syllabus with lesson objectives, suggested lectures and exercises,  as well as checkride questions that apply to any airplane.
    There is a wealth of flight training information that relies on word of mouth  for distribution. Some pilots are lucky enough to rub shoulders with someone who  had the wisdom of experience and the desire to pass it on. David Robson's book  effectively broadens the distribution by sharing his wealth of multi-engine  flying know-how in a new manual for pilots and flight instructors.
    Transition to Twins
    provides information and advice to pilots  undergoing their first Multi-Engine Rating, and is one of the most concise and  well-illustrated books on flying twin-engine airplanes. This manual covers all  facets of multi-engine flight:
    Chapters 1—9 discuss all areas of twin operation including  system descriptions; aerodynamics; normal and emergency operations; VFR,  night, and IFR considerations; flight planning; and weight and balance. A  chapter on commercial operations introduces not only the airmanship  required, but also how to deal with passengers, crew, cargo, schedules, and  duty times.
    Chapter 10 lays out each step to earning a multi-engine  rating, including a syllabus with both ground and flight training lessons.  The book concludes with questions to prepare pilots for a multi-engine  checkride, to check-out in a new multi-engine airplane, or for an insurance  competency exam for any twin airplane.
    Transition to Twins
    will prove an invaluable manual to student  and instructor alike.
