Piloting techniques on diverse topics in this collection of stories from
an experienced flight instructor's logbook.
Ron Fowler accurately states, "our skills of flight either improve or slowly
erode, but they rarely remain unchanged." Speaking pilot to pilot, the author
picks up where initial pilot training leaves off. Lessons
from the Logbook is a collection
of stories that began as articles written for Plane
& Pilotmagazine, and was previously published by Aviation Book Company.
The book is organized to reflect all the phases of flight: preflight,
departure, en route, and arrival, and concludes with a section on recurrent
training. It provides piloting techniques on such diverse topics as night
flying; what to do when you get stuck above or below a cloud deck; how to handle
in-flight emergencies; evaluating real-life takeoff performance; pursuing a path
to perfect flying; and much, much more.
Ron Fowler is the ideal flight instructor - experienced, patient, entertaining,
with excellent communication skills. Although readers may never have an
opportunity to fly with him, his gentle guidance will stick with them: first
when they read the pages that share the authorï¾’s expertise, to be recalled again
when they have a similar experience. Lessons
from the Logbook will inspire
readers to improve their flying skills, and more importantly, motivate them to
take to the sky.
