I agree with Klimax. Ron Campbell's manual has never been superseded. The long briefings provided by Ron are perhaps the element that keeps it one step above the rest. These sections are invaluable to the instructor: ab-initio and later on, being a handy reference source when planning briefings or answering those awkward questions.
Of course being written some time ago the modern instrumentation and radio navigation aids are not within its scope. Nor of course is Threat and Error Management (TEM). Alan Newton makes the statement: "Threat Error Management (TEM), which replaces Airmanship, has been incorporated in all of the pre-flight briefings in each part".
TEM has not replaced 'airmanship' but forms an important part. TEM is a subsection of airmanship which covers much more in scope. TEM is a means of taking the required and specific elements of good airmanship, which are particularly relevant to the task, and putting them into a package, nothing more.
