Author Description

Making Perfect Takeoffs--in the style of its companion, Making Perfect Landings--addresses departure as a series of steps requiring total awareness of situation, airplane, and self. In both books, applied reasoning is encouraged, and pilots are taught to identify and assess circumstances and conditions, then implement appropriate procedures.Both are compact manuals that store easily in the cockpit. Chapters conclude with Preflight Reminders and In-Flight Aids summaries that present critical data at a glance, for quick reference on the ground and in the air.
