Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Inside Flap
"As a pilot, I often marvel at how well it works. It's no mean challenge to make it all come out even on the designated runway ahead. It takes a measure of skill and judgement on the part of the pilot, to say nothing of the correct decisions that must be made along the way. But sometime it doesn't work." -Richard L. Collins

Misleading,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Air Crashes (Kindle Edition)
I WAS EXPECTING A COMPILATION OF ACCIDENTS AND A REVIEW OF THEIR CAUSES, INSTEAD I GET A TON OF DEFINITIONS OF WEATHER TERMS AND AIRCRAFT INSTRUMENTS WHICH I DO NOT NEED
VERY DISSAPOINTING AND BORING BOOK WHICH WAS A SURPRIZE AS I ENJOY THE AUTHORS ARTICLES IN FLYING MAGAZINE
