91 Lessons From The Sky contains 91 easy-to-read, true stories from experimental and amateur-built aircraft pilots.
Stories have been drawn from National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) accident reports and pilot accounts, and cover the full range of experimental aviation risk incluidng:
Bounced landings and ground loops, carburetor icing, weather, fuel exhaustion from faulty gauges, elevator cables disconnected in the climb, engine failures at 100 feet, weld failures on takeoff, tail rotor belt separations, and the accumulation of small decisions that together produce an outcome no single one of them would have caused alone. Tailwheel handling, checklist discipline, preflight inspection standards, and the vulnerabilities of the builder who knows the aircraft better than anyone - and sometimes not quite well enough...
An essential read for pilots, experimental aircraft builders, and anyone who loves flying.
