The pilot develops a good part of his aeronautical life inside a flight deck. In it, the multiple parameters that allow the control of the aircraft are presented through different "indicators" or instruments.
From the primitive cabins, where each of these instruments presented a specific data or value, to the most modern flight cabins, where the concept of "glass cabin" allows for a simplification of the presentations used, the book aims to cover all the evolutionary development that has marked the history of Aviation, focusing mainly on those systems, equipment or instruments that continue to shape mainly the configuration of the cabins of the aircraft that are still operating today.
In addition to faithfully reflecting the minimum content of the agenda established by the European Authorities, its latest edition has the added value of including not only additional information considered of interest to the pilot, but also the adequacy of these systems can be found in helicopters.
Therefore, any aeronautical lover, whether professional or simply amateur, will find in it the necessary references to enable him to know the principle of operation of all aircraft instrumentation, either in its mode of operation or in the presentation.
In fact, this work is in constant evolution, as its authors are aware that the great reception it received back in 2001 must be matched with greater accuracy and reliability in its content, as well as an adequate update containing the most modern and current information and communication equipment and systems.
