The most complete, timely guide to multiengine flying Multiengine maneuvers, systems, and aerodynamics are profoundly different from those in single-engine airplanes and, contrary to what most single-engine pilots believe, there are situations when a multiengine plane can be more not less dangerous than flight in a single. First covering the fundamentals of multiengine flight, this book includes multiengine aerodynamics, takeoff and landings, and engine-out procedures. It also includes the current FAA Multiengine rating and Airline Transport Pilot Practical Test Standards to help prepare you for the oral and flight exams.
