DESCRIPTION
With this invaluable handbook, private pilots can optimize their flying performance -- by using the same life-saving CRM skills and techniques that have helped airline and military pilots dramatically improve safety.
BACK COVER
Professional CRM techniques customized for single-pilot operations! Cockpit Resource Management: The Private Pilot's Guide is the first manual to transfer lifesaving CRM techniques to the private pilot/single operator environment, showing you how to: handle distractions; recognize and circumvent potential emergency situations; reduce cockpit workload; be aware of hazardous attitudes; sharpen your judgment; improve decision-making skills; increase situational awareness. The key says Turner, is toset realistic goals for each flight, and to prioritize these goals to maximize safety. Step by step, Turner demonstrates how, through a clear and logical presentation of CRM skills and techniques, from preflight to landing. Case studies provide vivid examples of CRM in action. This fully updated second edition includes the latest safety regulations and accident studies, recent and pending changes in regulations, and a greatly expanded teaching chapter.
