Book Reviews of Flying the Mountains : A Training Manual for Flying Single-Engine Aircraft
Book Review: Great Learning Tool, Very Informative
Summary: 5 Stars
I am new to GA and a flatlander. The book is written specifically for the mountains but a lot of the information dealing with weather is very useful as a learning tool out of the mountains. Too bad the author was killed while flying in a canyon. I researched his death on the NTSB website and sure enough he was killed flying too low in a canyon and struck a wire. Overall a great book packed with great information.
Summary of Flying the Mountains : A Training Manual for Flying Single-Engine Aircraft
This training guide diminishes the dangers and doubles the thrill--and safety--of flying single-engine aircraft at high altitudes in mountainous regions. Logically organized by phases of flight--from preflight preparation to landings--the author combines statistics, techniques, and examples of actions (correct and incorrect) that real pilots have taken in actual flight scenarios.
* Details training that offsets mountain flying mistakes
* Describes the effects of altitude on pilots and aircraft
* Outlines cold weather operations and precautions
* Includes search and rescue operation procedures
* Reviews take-off conditions from airport mountains
