DESCRIPTION:
"I love the idea of the 10-volume set. With good packaging and writing, this series could easily become a real staple in the industry. I love it." Andy Holcomb, Specialty Accounts; "Broad-spectrum appeal should work well in market. Great price." John Wing, Wing-Aero" . This is a great price point, and the topics appear to be diverse enough, that they will appeal very broadly
His specialties inlcude, but are not limited to, training pilots to transition from the larger aircrews of traditional aircraft to the two-person cockpits of Western planes such as the B767, the B777, and the Airbus. Vladimir Risukhin is Russia's leading authority on human factors and automation in aviation. .
With up to 80% of accidents attributed to pilot error, this new series is critically important. Each book contains real-life pilot stories drawn from FAA/NASA databases, valuable "save-yourself" techniques and an action agenda of preventive techniques pilots can implement to avoid risks.. It identifies and examines the ten top areas of concern to pilot safety
"Hard to swallow" according to Jose Sanchez Alarcos. If you are a private pilot and you want to know how an automated plane works, this book can be useful for you. Otherwise, you are going to find better things to invest time and money.The author seems to be impressed by his new toy (a Boeing 777) and devotes the whole book to tell us the wonders of automation.

All of the accidents could have been avoided if the crew.easy to say after the accident happened. We all are wonderful prophets of the past.The . Blurry Type Face This book appears to be printed in a grey color with all of the text having blurred edges. This makes it a distracting read, and a bit hard on the eyes. If anyone offers an alternative printing or an e-book, I would strongly suggest looking for that better option.. Ron Blanchette said Four Stars. Exactly what I was looking for.
