Jeppesen manuals are based on the Study/Review learning concept, whereby you read a chapter and then test yourself with review questions.

The principles of airborne navigation have evolved considerably over the last 100 years. With commercial aircraft now capable of flights in excess of 20 hours, with much of the duration spent over the oceans, navigation techniques have had to evolve to meet these new demands.

• Basics of Navigation
• Magnetism
• Compasses
• Charts
• Dead Reckoning Navigation
• In-Flight Navigation
• Inertial Navigation Systems

The JAR ATPL (A) General Navigation examination requires a competency in the calculations of distance, direction, speed, and time. It also requires a detailed understanding of maps and charts, including their properties and limitations. This volume takes the prospective Airline Transport Pilot from basic navigational and plotting skills to the principles and application of Inertial Navigation Systems (INS). Not only does this volume prepare the student for the General Navigation examination, it also discusses the practical aspects of navigation that might be encountered during commercial airline operations.

This new 2005 manual is part of the most current set of JAA ATPL training books on the market. The philosophy of these manuals is to train pilots to fly safely and competently, not just pass the exams. To this end, the material is thorough and comprehensive, yet the books utilise full-color graphics and diagrams that make complex topics easier to grasp. The complete set of 15 volumes contains nearly 4,000 pages.

Powerplant covers the syllabus for the JAR-FCL 021 exam paper. This volume gives the reader an insight into the construction, function, and operation of both piston and gas turbine engines. For examination purposes, the engines as described are to be considered 'generic', in reality each manufacturer will achieve the same objectives outlined in the text by different designs. Therefore, these notes equip the reader with the knowledge to undertake with confidence an engine manufacturer's course or type rating course which specializes in a particular design.

• Piston Engine
• Turbine
• Engine Construction
• Engine Systems
• Auxiliary Power Unit (APU)

Airframes & Systems, Electrics, Powerplant, and Emergency Equipment (ASEPE) - Aeroplanes, subject 021, covers a broad swathe of information that is examined in one paper. To make this information manageable, the 021 subject is broken down into three volumes; these are Airframes & Systems [which incorporates Emergency Equipment], Electrics, and Powerplant.

One of the fundamental aspects of aircraft cockpit design is how to present flight and navigation data to the crew. The presentation of any information can be in analogue, digital, or electronic form, but in all cases it is up to the crew to interpret and act on the information given. This same data can be supplied to automatic flight control systems, relieving the pilot of hand flying the aircraft, but bringing with it the obligation to monitor what the aircraft is doing. This task can be particularly onerous because the pilot is effectively out of the loop and the aircraft performs with flawless regularity.

• Flight Instruments
• Automatic Flight Control Systems
• Warning and Recording Equipment
• Powerplant and System Monitoring Instruments

The pilot however, must always be alert and ready to take control of the aeroplane. For all these reasons, the pilot must have a thorough understanding of aircraft instrumentation and automatic flight control systems. This volume provides an in-depth knowledge of the operating principles behind, and the value of, all the most common aircraft instrumentation systems.
