Ace the Technical Pilot Interview

Customer Reviews:

Dozens of errors for you to find and correct!

By Michel Colman "Michel" - April 4, 2005

This book is literally full of errors and inaccuracies. While it has helped me refresh my memory a bit, one really has to be careful and critical to avoid learning wrong answers! Sometimes the given answer is even exactly the opposite of the correct answer. Some examples:

1. What is Dutch Roll?

"(...) the outer, upward-moving wing stalls and loses all lift, and therefore the wing drops."

The author doesn't have a clue of how Dutch roll works. The wing certainly does not stall, Dutch roll actually starts out as a very gentle instability. And why would the upward-moving, faster wing stall anyway? When a wing is going up, its AOA decreases! If one wing should stall, it should be the other one. Obviously, neither does.

2. The critical engine on a crosswind take-off is NOT the downwind engine. It is in fact the upwind engine. A crosswind from the left does not apply "a restoring force to the right", it in fact makes the aircraft want to turn left... read more

watch this book, dont take the answers for granted!

I agree with michel that there are a lot of mistakes in the book. It is good for the questions but NOT for the answers.

FULL of errors!

By G. C. Earle - May 15, 2006

Great idea for the book BUT spoiled by incorrect facts and explanations on almost every page! Thus it is good if you use it for the questions but NOT the answers.

Someone (wish I had the time) needs to list all the corrections on a website (just a suggestion) for this book to be fully utilised - until the author can correct the mistakes. (if someone gets the website off the ground, I will gladly contribute correct answers)

Having said this, I am still glad I got the book for the questions and to be pointed in the right direction. If only the author would correct the answers....
