Product Description

Product Description
Marshalling his own experiences and the best research in aerodynamics, meteorology, and accident prevention, Buck reviews the keys necessary to master each phase of a flight, from preparation to in-flight assessment to the critical moments just before and after touchdown. The book tells how the smart pilot sharpens and uses his 'feel' for the aeroplane and for each VFR or IFR flight; how the best pilots fine-tune their knowledge and skills to plan shrewdly, command confidence, and handle their aircraft smoothly. It points out the often neglected 'killer items' that careful airline and general aviation pilots are sure to review before takeoff. It simplifies the crucial understanding of 'angle of attack' that spells protection against stall-spin crashes. The book covers these and a multitude of other specific details clearly and from the intimate viewpoint of a veteran senior captain who stresses the need for pilots to be independent and in command of their flying.
