Product Description
Operate a jet transport fleet profitably, safely, and legally with this indispensable reference to assessment, performance-related FAA restrictions, and legal and economic issues. Written by a senior performance engineer with America West, it is a unique source of experienced advice combined with research on issues of technology, personnel management, dealing with government regulations, and more.


Customer Reviews:
5 out of 5 stars A great book on economic operations   November 22, 2000
James E Lewis (Port Orange, FL United States)
9 out of 9 found this review helpful

As a professor of aeronautical science in a large aviation oriented college program, I had been searching for a text which covered the economic aspects of airplane performance. The author does a wonderful job covering subjects such as the "cost index" and how it relates to economic climb and economic cruise conditions. The mathematics is very basic and should be understood by persons having taken algebra and perhaps introductory physics. This is the only text that I found that goes beyond the standard performance type topics in the direction of cost impact upon operations. The book would be excellent reading for aviation professionals or students of aviation. Great book!


5 out of 5 stars Resouce for Aircraft Performance, Operations & Economics   January 4, 2004
Miguel Hidalgo (San Diego, CA United States)
According to Mr. Padilla, this book "is a compilation of some of the concepts and tools used by performance engineers in the analysis of airline-related performance problems." Basic concepts are presented about "carrying as much weight as possible, as far as possible, as fast as possible, at the greatest profit."

This 'technical operations manual' provides an excellent illustration into areas drawing from all pertinent disciplines: aerodynamics, propulsion, mechanics and restrictions.

There are many mathematical equations but it is presented in a very concise format. I agree with the author that this book "would fit well at the second-year level of a standard engineering curriculum." As long as the reader understands algebra, trigonometry, and some elementary calculus, the material should be a 'touch and go.'

However, I was never a whiz at mathematics, so it took me a little longer to figure it out without a dozen professors nearby. If you are like me, don't be timid. The presentation is clear enough to gain a foothold and establish a critical bridge into the more sophisticated concepts, terminologies and technologies.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent for flight operations   February 24, 2010
Ryan von Trapp (Charlotte, NC)
As a manager for a regional airline fuel savings program, this book is a valuable reference for me. I am a pilot with an operational knowledge of performance engineering, and this book is able to bridge the gap between my flight operational knowledge and the engineering behind fuel economy.

Many thanks for writing it!



4 out of 5 stars Good read for jet tranport   August 14, 2009
jordanrh0918 (Colorado Springs, CO)
Overall, this book does a great job explaining flight dynamics and associated cost. Even those without an extensive engineering background will be able to apreciate and learn from this book.
