Recommended reading Turboprop to Jets

Post by Adiabatic »

Good day,

Can anyone recommend any reading material for transitioning from a turboprop to jets? I seem to remember a book "flying jets" or something similar in the past but I haven't had any luck finding anything so far. Thought I would ask here.

Thank you!

You're probably thinking of Flying the Big Jets, and yes, absolutely get that one. It might not make a difference in your day-to-day flying but you'll have a much better understanding of what's going on around you at altitude.
And just remember, if you're high and fast- get down, THEN slow down ;)

Takes a few extra miles to slow down!

Found this and found “handling the big jets”

Whups, yes that's the one. Flying the big jets is a different book altogether!
