This book contains flying techniques, rules of thumb, and facts of flight gleaned from a variety of reference sources and from the author's 50 years as a professional pilot. Aerodynamic principles involved in the takeoff, en route, and landing phases of flight are examined, with an emphasis on avoiding common mistakes that lead to accidents. Coverage includes light twins, transport category airplanes, rejected takeoff, cruise control, departure and deep-stall phenomena, and the high altitude environment. Lowry is a retired US Air Force and commercial pilot. He teaches aeronautical science at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University's McClellan AFB campus, and works as an aviation safety consultant.
