Aviation Books

Clearly written and logically presented, this newly revised bestseller takes pilots through a detailed, often humorous course in the essentials of safe flying, and covers everything from mastering maneuvers and GPS Navigaition to preflight checks.

This important book brings an air traffic controller's perspective to the mistakes pilots commonly make in controlled airspace. Veteran controller John Stewart has spent years observing pilots display their lack of education, lack of flight preparation, inability to communicate effectively, ignorance of resistance to regulations, and other dangerous flaws. This book is his attempt to help pilots fly more safely in controlled airspace and to introduce them to new and coming air traffic control technology.
