From the Author
Author Comments - Mastering Instrument Flying, Third Edition By Henry Sollman with Sherwood Harris
My co-author and I are justifiably proud of this, our third, fully updated edition of Mastering Instrument Flying, published recently by McGraw-Hill. We would like to share with you some background about how this book came to be written.
I started to learn to fly in 1936 and was immediately bitten by the "bug" and driven to become a pilot. It was a slow process since I had to pay for my own flying lessons and "earn as I learned." My main source of funds was working "side jobs" during high school at Depression wages. I earned my old CAA Private Pilot's Certificate, #115126, in 1943 and I was on my way toward many exciting years of learning, practicing, studying and then teaching.
Over the years I accumulated a vast resource of teaching materials and techniques. Many of them evolved into practical innovations that enabled students to learn faster and cheaper while becoming outstanding pilots. I owe a great debt to all my instructors and students, as well as friends in the old CAA, now the FAA. I found instrument flying to be most fascinating of all fields of flying. It was the magnet that seemed to draw me to the goal of becoming an Instrument Flight Instructor and Ground Instructor.
In the course of logging 17,000 hours of flight time and over 15,000 hours as a Flight Instructor and FAA Flight Test Examiner, I also served as a lecturer at many FAA Safety Seminars and earned the Flight Instructor of the Year Award for the FAA's Eastern Region in 1984. I was well equipped to be the author of Mastering Instrument Flying. The first edition was published by in 1989 and enthusiastically received by the aviation community. The second edition was published in 1994.
From 1978 through 1988 I was Chief Flight Instructor for several flight schools. I met a professional editor and author who worked with me as a part time flight instructor, Sherwood Harris. Sherwood had written several books and articles on aviation history and was a book editor for the Reader's Digest. He was a great supporter and fan who kept urging me to write a book about our mutually favorite subject, teaching instrument flying, and he kept reminding me that I had a vast storehouse of training techniques and knowledge that he felt should be preserved and shared with the aviation community. He offered to assist and guide me through the process and I gratefully accepted.
Sherwood kept reminding me that all the techniques and tools that I had pioneered and developed would be lost forever when I faded into the sunset-unless they were captured in book form first. Here is that book!
