What you need to know about how your airplane works
Focused on practical value to the pilot, Aircraft Systems takes you on a thoroughly illustrated tour of the systems that make your plane work, giving you step-by-step procedures and troubleshooting tips that improve safety and cut risk, no matter what the situation. Pilot/mechanic David A. Lombardo, author of Advanced Aircraft Systems , presents crucial information on systems in single- and light twin-engine planes.
No matter what page you turn to, you'll find fully illustrated, system-by-system information that will help make better piloting decisions both in the air and on the ground; avoid risk with a better understanding of preflight inspections; troubleshoot in-flight problems and handle emergencies in any system; cut costs with better maintenance, improved communication with mechanics, and correct choices in engine overhauls; recognize and overcome bad interactions between systems; improve interpersonal relationships with passengers and crew. Full of life-saving information, from the anatomy of a tire, to emergency electrical system failure load shedding, Aircraft Systems delivers the critical, confidence-building guidance that you'll rely on every time you enter the cockpit.

Aircraft Systems is an excellent book that quickly and accurately explains various components of planes, along with having simple, easy to understand diagrams to go with the explanations. The book covers various information instruments, piston engine components, electrical system components, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, environmental systems, pressurization systems, de/anti-icing systems, landing gear, and propellers.
This book could be useful for people who are looking to buy a plane or studying engineering. It can be easily understood by any reader while still providing an informational description. Overall, I would highly recommend this to anyone who is for their first time venturing into a field where this knowledge would be needed.
