Default Book recommendation for turbine ops?

Hey all,

I'll be flying some of my first turbine aircraft this summer and was looking for some good reading material to supplement the experience. I tried a search on this forum but did not come up with much.

Anyone have any suggestions on a decent book that covers turbine systems, high alt. areodynamics, operating procedures, etc etc?

BTW: I have been through AC 61-107A - just looking for an expansion on that material.

Thanks!

The Turbine Pilot's Flight Manual (this is the hard cover edition, I'm sure you can find the soft cover if you search for more than 5 seconds like I did)

http://www.amazon.com/Turbine-Pilots.../dp/0813800234

Indeed, the TPFM is a great resource.

I've decided to take an internship (basically it's a 3 month job interview) flying a PC-12, CJ1, CJ3 Part 91.

Thanks for all the quick responses everyone!

Is "internship" a euphemism for "flying for no pay"?

Haha...I was waiting for that comment.

Nope, actually I'm getting paid more than most will make their 1st year at a regional.
