Vale Walter Atkinson
Posted on behalf of Jabawocky:
Gone West.
It is with much regret I advise that Walter Atkinson of APS, Yoda, master of piston engine management has departed this earth, July 21, 2020.
Remembered for his passion for aviation, in particular aviation engine management education.
Wally.........RIP.

Never met the man but I think of him every time I brief a student on the use of throttle and mixture in a piston engine. So glad you were here Walter, thank you for making it so clear and understandable.
Had the honour of meeting Walter (and John Deakin). But for their (and George Braly’s) efforts, many more pilots would be continuing to operate piston engines in accordance with folklore rather than science and data.
