Aircraft Instrument Books?
Jim,
I poked around on the web site you gave, and found another site with a book that might be just what I need: http://www.buildersbooks.com/aircraf...nics.htm?32,69 Thanks for your help! -John

Yeah,
That looks like a much better book, not so much electrical. Good find! Jim jcarlyle wrote: Jim, I poked around on the web site you gave, and found another site with a book that might be just what I need: http://www.buildersbooks.com/aircraf...nics.htm?32,69 Thanks for your help! -John

My copy of Derek Piggot's "Gliding" (7th edition) has a chapter (about 17 pages) on the instruments (ASI, altimeter, vario, T&S, compass, artificial horizon). For each it described briefly how it operates and rather more on its accuracy and limitations, with most space devotes to varios and the compass. This might be less detail than you want, but "Gliding" is probably a cheaper book and worth checking out because of that. -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org |

Thanks, Martin. I've got the 8th edition of Gliding, and it is less
detail than I was looking for. I appreciate the tip, though! -John Martin Gregorie wrote: My copy of Derek Piggot's "Gliding" (7th edition) has a chapter (about 17 pages) on the instruments (ASI, altimeter, vario, T&S, compass, artificial horizon).
