Description
Professional Pilot: Proven Tactics and PIC Strategies
by John Lowery
This new Third Edition of the popular title Professional Pilot provides real-world application of knowledge based on veteran aviator John Lowery’s vast experience. Pilots will achieve a new level of understanding about day-to-day, real-world flying and gain a full indoctrination into the topics that matter when flying heavy, high, and fast—including: take-off V-speeds and the real physics of take-off performance, handling runway contamination, cruise speed and fuel control in turbine aircraft, high altitude flight dynamics, the dangers of high altitude physiology, managing icing conditions and the inadequacy of the regs in making real-world decisions about those conditions, surviving emergencies such as rapid decompression and in-flight fire, and much much more.
This Third Edition has been updated with the latest cockpit and airport procedures as well as recent advancements in communications
and navigation equipment, VLJs (very-light jets). Professional Pilot is filled with points to remember, highlighting the material so pilots can take away operational rules-of-thumb and immediately apply them to their daily flying. This insider’s look into the mind and cockpit of an accomplished aviator is an invaluable resource for pilots wanting to achieve the next level of aeronautical mastery.
