Managing Delicate Situations in Flight

In flight, we may be confronted with situations that are difficult to assess or awkward to manage, such as: turning around without visual reference; recovering from a loss of control (LOC-I); suffering a partial power loss on take-off or an engine failure in flight.

This book tackles a dozen situations inspired by recurrent events and incidents, based on feedback from the FFA and FFPLUM, as well as BEA investigation reports.

Everyone will find something to enrich their knowledge and harmoniously complement the methods learned during the Private Pilot's License (PPL). In addition to a brief review of methods and procedures, the reader will find a number of technical and theoretical elements of understanding, as well as an explanatory approach based on mental and behavioral aspects. Without contradicting the references in the field of flight safety and flight instruction, this book also offers a wealth of inspiration and advice on how to deal with a tricky situation in flight.
