Download or read book Performance Pilot written by Ross Bentley and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-07-06 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you want to be a better pilot? Do you want to improve your judgment and skills in training, tests, and throughout your career? Why do the best pilots consistently perform to a higher standard? It is the mental game and preparation that separate the good pilots from the high-performance pilots. Professional athletes have relied on sports psychology and coaching for years to help improve performance. Pilots too can benefit from mental strategies, but until now there has been scant aviation-specific content on how to prepare to fly. In Performance Pilot, noted performance coach, Ross Bentley, and professional aviator, Phil Wilkes, reveal aviation-specific procedures, techniques, and strategies to help you methodically, deliberately, and more effectively prepare for, conduct, and evaluate your flying and consistently perform at the highest level. For pilots just starting out, Performance Pilot can help you create a foundation to build upon and use throughout your flying career. The lessons and techniques are equally relevant to pilots at any experience level, whether recreational or professional, civil or military. In short, this book will make you a better pilot. REVIEWS FROM PILOTS "I''ve had the opportunity to fly large four-engine transport aircraft on all seven continents, from combat in Afghanistan to remote ice runways in Antarctica. Every flight demands the highest level of performance from the crew to ensure safe operations. As a military flight instructor, I have flown with pilots of all experience levels. It is amazing to see the difference between pilots that prepare and those that don''t. This book has techniques for all experience levels designed to help any pilot develop their skills and performance. For those just starting out, the techniques in this book can help create a foundation they can build upon and use throughout their flying career. In short, the strategies in this book can help build better pilots." Lt Col Brent Keenan, USAF, C-17A Instructor Pilot & Squadron Commander "This book is relevant to any recreational, professional or military pilot looking to enhance their own performance and skills. As a current instructor of F18 fighter pilots, this is certainly a book I will recommend to all my students." Squadron Leader M A Saunders, RAAF Fighter Combat Instructor "Plenty of books describe the technical aspects of flying airplanes, but the human performance psychology has largely been ignored. There is very little information for pilots on how to improve on high performance skills needed for high-stress and high-workload types of piloting. This book addresses that gap and gives pilots an understanding of the best and most efficient techniques on improving their aircraft handling in a way that will garner real results without needing to turn a propeller. I only wish I had this book years ago." Anthony Crichton-Browne, Airbus A320 Captain, competition aerobatic pilot & aviation podcaster "During my training as a military pilot, I utilized some of the strategies described in this book. However, my personal implementation was haphazard and lacked the methodical and deliberate implementation required to apply them in an effective manner. This book describes the structure needed to effectively apply these learning techniques as well as introducing many new and complementary ones I had not considered. I am sure that my aviation training and subsequent career would have benefitted greatly had this text been available at the time." Jaimie Tilbrook, Former RAAF C130 Hercules Captain "Reading and practicing the advice in ''Performance Pilot'' will help enhance your airmanship. I know that after any of my flying students or colleagues have read ''Performance Pilot'', I''ll sleep better in knowing that their flying careers will take them much more safely throughout their local skies and beyond." Andrew Musca-Unger, Grade 1 Flight Instructor & glider pilot

Download or read book Self-Reliant Pilot written by Bill Quirk and published by Publication Consultants. This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Color-illustrated, Self-Reliant Pilot focuses on flying small taildragger aircraft and landing them in remote and challenging terrain in wild Alaska. It displays the inspiration of flying in Alaska, defining who are the incredible pilots that fly Alaska's backcountry and showing the training necessary to become the best pilot you can be. It discusses the weather related problems of flying in Alaska and shows ways to minimize the difficulties. It also discusses the elevated aircraft accident rate in Alaska and how to substantially reduce such incidences. Self-Reliant Pilot serves as a primer for Alaskan style training. Once a pilot learns how to train according to the book, additional or new training can be carried out, without difficulty, because the pilot has already learned the foundation for training. Self-Reliant Pilot is a classical training manual because it is written in a contemporary style that is always current. As time goes forward, the strategy for training will remain the same. Seventy-five distinctive narratives in the last part of the book show general aviation topics and authenticated experiences of a skilled pilot flying Alaska's uninhabited backcountry. The narratives include the inspiration of flying Alaska's coastal mountains, glaciers, and fjords; flying and landing in Alaska's backcountry in winter on skis and in summer on Bushwheels; flying wildlife surveys and observing rare wildlife encounters.
Book Synopsis Refine Your Flying Skills by : Aero Circus
Download or read book Refine Your Flying Skills written by Aero Circus and published by . This book was released on 2021-07 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is often a gap between theory and practical application which is never fully explained. In many cases, critical information is given to the student only once, with the expectation that it will be understood and applied when needed. The information may be fully absorbed and understood by newer pilots. However, applying theory correctly when it is suddenly needed in real life may not happen as intended, if at all.Worse still, if the instructor is not widely experienced themself, they may not even be aware of small but important pieces of information that need to be passed on to the student. You can't teach something that you don't properly understand yourself. There is also the alarming notion in some instructor circles that certain elements of proficient flying can be safely omitted for students who are not aiming for a career in the airlines.The flight training syllabus has been developed over many years and has recently been fine tuned in response to the release of the Manual Of Standards (MOS).To remain competitive, most flying schools only teach what is required to 'meet the standard'. Often this is not what a safe and competent pilot needs to know or what employers need their new pilots to be able to do.This book starts by examining some things you can do to take better care of your passengers, examines the use of checklists, then looks at a few critical skills that are often lacking in the typical low hour or non-professional pilot.

Book Synopsis Celebrating Failure by : Ralph Heath
Download or read book Celebrating Failure written by Ralph Heath and published by Red Wheel/Weiser. This book was released on 2009-07-15 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrating Failure is the definitive how-to manual for leaders seeking to embrace the power of failure as a learning tool to improve their organizations and achieve ever-greater goals. The business world (and, lately, the political arena) is convinced that the number one topic is change. Heath posits that it might well be failure, because if you do it right, failure can become a launching pad for change.Heath contends that "positive failures" are not only necessary steps on the path to success, but encourage greater freedom to take risks in pursuit of one's life goals. This counter-intuitive but powerful title includes:•Engaging stories of real-life business and personal failure experiences.•Practical steps to apply each chapter's "lessons" and change your approach to risk-taking and failure.•Positive, effective ways to eliminate the "fear of failure" that can hold you back in today's competitive, fast-changing world.Heath's insightful stories lay out his own failures and reveal his human side as a son, father, athlete, and business leader.
