Description
In The
Art of Flying, Robert Buck combines his 50+ years of
piloting experience with the best research in
aerodynamics, meteorology and accident prevention to
provide a unique approach to airmanship that you can
apply every time you fly. He calls this approach
"getting down to basics," and shows how to apply it
during every phase of flight, from preflight
preparation to after landing.
The Art of Flying stresses the need for pilots to
be independent and in command of their aircraft at
all times. It describes how smart pilots sharpen and
use their "feel" for the airplane on each flight and
how the best pilots fine-tune their knowledge and
skills to plan shrewdly, command confidence and
handle their aircraft smoothly. It provides detailed
instruction on topics like the "killer items" that
careful pilots review before every takeoff, provides
a crucial understanding of "angle of attack" that
will protect you from stall/spin incidents, and
offers a multitude of tips and techniques to make
you a better all-around pilot.
