Aircraft Instruments & Integrated Systems
by EHJ Pallett
Operating theory and construction of instruments; mechanical, electromechanical and electronic, including EFIS (Electronic Flight Instrument System)
Instruments and Integrated Systems is a detailed description of the function and workings of instrumentation and integrated cockpit systems typically found in advanced civil aircraft from conventional pitot-static and compass systems, to gyro based inertial navigation type instruments to advanced electronic and heads-up displays including the latest EFIS (glass cockpit) systems. The book is intended as a text and reference for those preparing for various AMT examinations. Liberally illustrated with schematics, charts, and tables.
