Proficient Pilot
Set of 3
by Barry Schiff
The Proficient Pilot, Volumes 1, 2 and 3 by Barry Schiff is an interesting, enjoyable, and most importantly - educational array of information on flying and flying techniques by Barry Schiff, a pilot with over 25,000 hours experience and frequent contributor to AOPA Pilot magazine.
In a series of 5-6 page chapters, Schiff touches on everything from dead reckoning techniques to turbocharger operations, to flying the space shuttle. There are many hints & tips and how-to books available of improving pilot techniques. This is one of the better of them.
From the Back Cover:
Proficient Pilot contains a wealth of information published nowhere else: how to survive a crash landing, how to start a hot engine, how to use ground effect to an advantage, how to cope with an engine fire, how to ditch, and much more. Schiff disposes of popular misconceptions about flying in turbulence, coping with wind shear, and obtaining meaningful performance data. He shares his tricks of the trade for handling a variety of situations and emergencies. In the words of Ernest K Gann, "I recommend you heed Schiff's messages because they are written by a true aviator. He knows it. He has done it. And he is doing it".
