4.0 out of 5 stars
How to do it correctly,
By Seth A Fuller (Dallas, TX, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Better Takeoffs & Landings (Paperback)
After reading Mr. Loves book, as a Student Pilot, I find it one of the most practical and well written texts on the art of making a proper landing. Mr. Loves experience as a pilot for a parachute troop has been invaluable and passing on this knowledge to us 'up and coming' is greatly appreciated. I would assume that this text would also be a great review for those of you who are switching from a tail dragger to tricycle or vice versa. Invaluable in my library.

Just another book on flying,
By A Customer
This review is from: Better Takeoffs & Landings (Paperback)
Unfortunately, I was re-reading "Stick and Rudder" at the time this book arrived. What a contrast. OK, BT&L has a lot of modern detail that the classic lacks, but Michael Love has no knack for teaching the art of flying. Just another book.

Better Value for Student Pilots,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Better Takeoffs & Landings (Paperback)
This book serves it's intended purpose well. It covers the established procedures for takeoffs and landings in the differing situations. I believe the book is of more value to a student pilot rather than a private pilot who flys on a regular basis. When a student pilot, what served me well was the solo practice along with the Jeppesen, "Private Pilot Manuevers" book which presents full color illustrations. A book can only go so far as to the process while the true method to improve takeoffs and Landings is by actual practice.
