EASA ATPL AGK Engines 2020

The second edition of this Padpilot book is applicable to the latest EASA ATPL(A) theoretical knowledge syllabus for AGK Engines. Updates to this book will cease August 2025 latest.


The book covers everything you need to know to satisfy the syllabus learning objectives. It also covers other essential information which you need to know if you intend to pursue a career as a professional airline pilot.


The book is lavishly illustrated with photographs, photo-realistic renders and pin-sharp diagrams. It also contains videos, animations and links to our online 3D models. These bring the subject to life and improves and deepens your understanding.


The book features our unique ContentPlus system. At the tap of a button you have access to accident case studies and insights into topics, showing how topics are directly relevant to piloting and how they connect with other aviation topics. Threat and Error flags throughout the book alert you to any significant flight safety hazards associated with the topic.


As with all Padpilot books, we explain to the level which gives you deep understanding of all the topics important to pilots. This book is far more than a mere collection of exam-passing notes. It’s your reference volume and authoritative resource for everything related to aero engines. It’s written by pilots, for pilots at the level that professional pilots need to understand.
