5.0 out of 5 stars
This is a great book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Emergency!: Crisis in the Cockpit (Tab) (Paperback)
I have read other books on airline disasters, but they were usually dry and sterile. This book, however, takes a different approach. It tells about situations that came up for pilots during actual flights where the courage and ability of those pilots, as well as others, were sorely tested. The actual emergencies chosen are real, frightning, and even scary to read. The author does an excellent job of holding the suspense as he leads you through the emergency, minute by minute. The chosen crisis are also hold-onto-your-chair, and nail-bitting suspense ridden as you read along. It is an excellent narrative, and well written. I highly recommend this read for anyone who wants to know what it is like to be a pilot, of any sized aircraft.

This review is from: Emergency!: Crisis in the Cockpit (Tab) (Paperback)
Finally a book that focuses on what went right instead of what went wrong. A positive approach to aircraft incidents. Notice I did not say accidents. Through solid airmanship and crew resource management and a touch of luck, these heroic crews prevented a disaster. This book will keep you on the edge of your seat and at the same time provide a look at skills and attitudes we should try to emulate when at the controls of an aircraft. Written in a style that is understandable to a lay person. Highly recommended

An excellent book with quite some useful information,
This review is from: Emergency!: Crisis in the Cockpit (Tab) (Paperback)
A greatly enjoyable book about close calls in aviation history. I have enjoyed it a great deal and thru the interesting story telling of the author I have gathered a lot of information about a variety of different subjects related to flying. I would recomment this book for pilots and any other person interested in aviation. The good point about the book, is that even if the reader does not know a great deal about aviation, the author explains most of the terms used in a brief something that benefits the general reader and is not very much noticed by an aviation person. Every chapter is an incident or a couple of related ones and can be read by itself in any order. I enjoyed it a lot and read the whole of it in less than a week.
