Description
Recently retired as TWA's Senior Captain; a man who's flown everything from Cessnas to sailplanes to 747s; a pilot who has logged more than 30000 hours without a scratch on the airplane.
Robert N. Bucks credentials are all topflight and his advice and flying tips are the same. In FLYING KNOW HOW he takes you beyond basic skills to make you a smooth pilot in command-with the traits, skills and tricks that can take you to the top of your potential.
He shows:
- why 90% of all accidents aren't ’accidental’
- the two parts of ’being ahead of the airplane’
- how to use a checklist without letting it become a crutch;
- which gadgets really help and which are an unnecessary overload
- how to cope with sensory illusions (your eyes don't always tell the truth); how weather conditions affect you both inside and outside of your plane
- how to handle dozens of quick-decision flying situations over land and sea.
He's always frank, always honest—and always strong on the kind of anecdotes and specifics that can really improve your skills.
