A Pilot's
Guide To Safety
How to avoid moments of stark terror .
Author John Lowery gives you a "cause and effect" look at a wide variety
of mishaps. There's an old axiom that says, "Flying consists of hours
of boredom, interrupted by moments of stark terror." But, says the author,
if this describes your flying experience, you're doing something wrong.
Hopefully by reviewing the mistakes of others you'll avoid your own "moments
of stark terror." The accidents described cover the spectrum from Cubs
to the supersonic Air France Concorde. Outlined by the sequence of flight
takeoff, cruise, descent and landing--you'll see how the "operator error"
finding in more than 80-percent of the accidents, often overlooks other
major links in the accident's chain of errors. In some cases, the
pilot, a victim rather than the cause.
160 pages, 8-1/2 x 5-1/2.

Written by John Lowery, highly experienced in both pilot training and aircraft
flight testing, this book emphasizes NASA data on stalls and spins in general-aviation
aircraft. Broadening the scope are interviews with factory test pilots together
with data from aircraft manufacturers. Added to these are the author's own
extensive experience in both high-performance and general-aviation aircraft.

recovery" from a spin.

Home
Study Flight Instruction
Useful at any level of experience, the Home Study Flight Instruction
program is excellent both as a preflight instructional tool and as a refresher
course. Written by Monty Navarre, creator of Flight Guide, the program
brings his thousands of hours of flight experience into the cockpit with
you, as it were. An ATP, instrument flight instructor, and holder of DC-3
type rating, Mr. Navarre gives detailed descriptions–maneuver by maneuver–of
how to control the airplane, drawing on his extensive experience as a pilot
and instructor and conforming with FAA terminology and criteria for training.
The Program is comprised of approximately two hours of efficiently organized
instruction. Narrated by Dr. Nick Miller, Flight Guide editor and
on-staff pilot, the audio portion is designed to be used in conjunction
with the provided instructional booklet. The booklet includes detailed
reference diagrams and even a quiz at the end of the course to test your
comprehension.
The course moves from an introduction, to the controls, to straight-and-level
flight, through turns, climbs, stalls, takeoffs and landings, approach
procedures and emergency procedures.
