Handling in-Flight Emergencies

Proper training & mental attitude are the keys to successfully dealing with most in-flight emergencies. Standard for professional pilots, this type of training has not been as heavily emphasized for private & recreational pilots. Bringing together crucial information from a variety of sources, this is the first book on in-flight emergencies written especially with general aviation pilots in mind. Stressing preflight preparation, awareness of changing flight conditions, & proper reactions for common cockpit emergencies, author Jerry A. Eichenberger instructs readers on how pilot reaction affects the outcome of potential problems, including thunderstorms; icing; engine, communications, & electrical system failure; straying off-course or becoming lost, & flying in IFR conditions. This practical manual is must reading for flight instructors & students & licensed pilots, regardless of their experience level.Eichenberger, Jerry A. is the author of 'Handling in-Flight Emergencies' with ISBN 9780070150935 and ISBN 0070150931.
