Infos

As a
pilot, judgment means weighing the risks and rewards of a
proposed flying activity
and proceeding in a way that boosts the likelihood of a safe outcome.
Victor G. Vogel has learned that predicting risks can be fraught with uncertainty—
and various factors can be unanticipated or unforeseen. Whether it’s a surprise storm,
unexpected mechanical failure, pilot illness, incapacitation, or something else, emergencies
can occur at any time.
However, for most flights, risks can be anticipated, weighed, managed, and mitigated
successfully. Using examples from actual flying experiences, the author explores how
general aviation pilots can safely fly small aircraft.
He does so by sharing lessons he gleaned from over forty-five years of flying singleengine
airplanes in all types of weather, over flat and mountainous terrain, during the
day, and at night.
Join the author as he shares insights and techniques that will give you the confidence
to fly in any terrain, avoid dangerous weather, and conduct regular missions to distant,
unfamiliar airports in a cautious, reliable way.
