Product Description

This important book brings an air traffic controller's perspective to the mistakes pilots commonly make in controlled airspace. Veteran controller John Stewart has spent years observing pilots display their lack of education, lack of flight preparation, inability to communicate effectively, ignorance of resistance to regulations, and other dangerous flaws. This book is his attempt to help pilots fly more safely in controlled airspace and to introduce them to new and coming air traffic control technology.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great view into the world of ATC, but out-of-date, July 23, 2000
By John Owens (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Avoiding Common Pilot Errors: An Air Traffic Controller's View (Paperback)
This book was a great introduction to the world of ATC, how controllers see traffic, and how they interact with pilots. Good tips on how to help controllers help you (and how not to seem like a fool). My only complaint is that it's out of date (it predates the switch to Class A,B,C,D,E,G airspace), which detracts from a few chapters. The author notes that the book will need to be updated "soon", but this apparently never happened.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for beginner pilots!, November 2, 1999
This review is from: Avoiding Common Pilot Errors: An Air Traffic Controller's View (Paperback)
I am a beginner pilot and I found John's book to be very helpful in demistifying the air traffic control system. It gives great explaination of the system and what the jobs and concerns are of the folks who work in the system. I highly recommend this book to all pilots, especially beginners.

3.0 out of 5 stars ATC's point of view - partly, August 31, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Avoiding Common Pilot Errors: An Air Traffic Controller's View (Paperback)
well written and informative. i thought the book would be more like a viewpoint from ATC's persepctive, but it is actually more from the pilot's perspective -- and THEN what is happening on ATC's side. Interesting tho. It is, keep in mind, published 1989 (and therefore written before that); so all info is a minimum 20 years old. insightful nonetheless.
