MAKING PERFECT LANDINGS IN LIGHT AIRPLANES

Each chapter defines a specific takeoff or landing situation and the set of characteristics that are unique to it. Fowler presents the methods - and the logic behind the methods - that enable the pilot to master key techniques for normal takeoffs and landings, cross wind procedures, short and smooth field operations, night procedures, critical landing situations, skids, rear wheel operations, and more.

The tips and techniques shared here are useful for the typical private pilot, but the book addresses the needs of the lone student pilot, the thousand-hour pilot, and the flight instructor as well.

Originally published as two separate books, this newly-combined edition now brings together comprehensive instruction on going up and coming back down. The author’s easy, conversational approach to teaching speaks to all pilots who thrive on the personal challenge of striving for excellence.
