Pilots spend a large part of their aeronautical life in a cockpit. In this cockpit, the multiple parameters that allow control of the aircraft are presented through different ‘indicators’ or instruments.

From the primitive cockpits, where each of these instruments presented a specific data or value, to the most modern cockpits, where the concept of ‘glass cockpit’ allows a simplification of the presentations used, Cabinas de Vuelo: Instrumentación AVA - 4ª Edición 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 the configuration of the cockpits of the aircraft that are still in operation today.

In addition to faithfully reflecting the minimum content of the syllabus established by the European Authorities, its latest edition has the added value of including, not only additional information considered to be of interest to the pilot, but also the suitability of these systems to be found in helicopters.

Therefore, every aeronautics enthusiast, whether professional or simply an amateur, will find in it the necessary references that will enable him or her to understand the principle of operation of all aircraft instrumentation, both in its mode of operation and in its presentation.

In fact, this work is constantly evolving, as its authors are aware that the great acclaim it received when it first appeared in 2001 must be matched by greater accuracy and reliability in its content, as well as a suitable updating that includes the most modern and up-to-date information and communication equipment and systems.
