Format:Paperback
This book by Dr. Krause is a must-read for safety-oriented aviators from beginners to professionals. This book provides accounts of some of the more well-known aircraft mishaps and dissects each one for causes and chains of events. It also provides the reader an education on various human-factor and weather-related issues. It also covers human-performance issues involving more recent technological developments like EFIS cockpits and TCAS, without neglecting basic hands-on skills and flight discipline.
Format:Paperback
I read the hardcover version of this book and it is wonderful. Shari Stamford Krause is informative and descriptive down to the last datail that you would not get from the FAA or NTSB. She defines the circumstances in a way that anyone, whether a seasoned pilot or just an avid plane lover, can understand. Everyone should read this.

Format:Paperback
I have a mixed feeling about this book. The theorical part is far too theoratical and based on merily summing up important issues, where the reader more would have learned about about these sum ups, if they where accompanied with graphics or illustrations. But the descriptive analisis of accidents is one of the very best I have ever seen. Very profound details indeed by means of case studies. However I would have rated it 4 stars if more case studies were included.
