To do this, pilots must understand what each handle or knob controls and what he or she can expect from each system. A Pilot's Guide to Aircraft and Their Systems furnishes pilots and armchair aviators with explanation and insight into what the aircraft, powerplant, and each of the systems do, and does so in language they can identify with. Dale Crane covers everything, writing in an easy-to-grasp style, from single-engine pistons to multi-engine turbines, including:
- Principles of flight, the forces acting on an airplane in flight
- Control surfaces and their operation
- Aircraft structures and materials
- Systems — hydraulic, electrical, fuel, ice protection and instrument
- Turbine and piston engine theory and operations
- Propeller forces, construction and controls
