Description
A compilation of Barry Schiff's monthly column in AOPA Pilot, the popular aviation periodical, these books contain favourite articles from over the years in three volumes that are arranged by subject. These articles are pulled from his 26,000 flight hours in 260 types of aircraft to assemble volumes filled with Schiff's vast knowledge and experience with teaching pilots. Here detailed attention is given to material dealing with system failures and emergencies, such as how to execute a crash landing, how to combat an engine fire, and how to use ground effect.
