Title: Book recommendation please
Post by: Dean on June 10, 2010, 03:52:19 PM

I note the thread about AirNav support books, however that's not what I want.

I want a book that explains how it all comes together. i.e. including how ATC works, how the flights use the different waypoints, vectors, flight corridors and all the other things they need to get from A to B.

I don't want to learn actual navigation but more the overall concepts. I hope that makes sense.

Anyone got any recommendations?

Thanks - found that for just short of £6 on Amazon - ordered it so hopefully I'll get a better understanding of the screen when read.

Also saw the following book on Amazon.

Air Traffic Control Handbook: The Complete Guide for All Aviation and Air Band Enthusiasts by David J. Smith

Does anyone have a view on both books and how they compare.
