Items related to Make Better Landings
Crammed with practical advice to help pilots at all levels to turn every arrival into a trouble-free performance touchdown, whatever the conditions. Starting with the basic engine-assisted approach, Alan Bramson, Chairman of the Panel of Examiners (for pilots), explains each procedure step-by-step, showing how to improve technique and avoid common mistakes. Further chapters demonstrate how to cope with unusual and testing situations, such as glide, flapless and asymmetric landings, crosswind and short-field landings, and arrivals on runways which may be treacherous due to rain, snow or ice. The author also covers many aircraft beyond the typical learner's piston-powered nose-wheel plane, such as a tailwheel aircraft, turboprop, ski-plane, and jet aircraft, their special characteristics, and how to handle jet engines, simpler to control than turboprop engines. As Pilot magazine says, 'whether you fly a taildragger or trike, from a farmer's field, international airport or even a frozen lake, if you fly by this book every meeting with earth should be a greaser'. Large hardback (measures 241mm x 190mm), pp252, illustrated throughout with 83 instructional two-colour diagrams.
