Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Imagine being an aviation medical examiner who's asked what the Federal Aviation Administration thinks about pilot candidates taking acid. What about a pilot trying to fake his way through a vision exam by memorizing what the vision chart says? Those are just two of the anecdotes shared by John A. Shewmaker, DO, a senior aviation medical examiner who's performed more than ten thousand aviation medical exams. Shewmaker shares all, including advice on how to pass an aviation medical exam, in Flying Under the Weather. Learn how best to pass a medical flight exam and keep your status current. Discover the themes common to these tests. Gain an insider's knowledge of the FAA-and the many strange happenings during routine physical exams. Shewmaker's observations are his own opinions as a physician and in no way represent the FAA. But in this book, he works to dispel common myths about pilots-including those heard before Congress. All in all, Flying Under the Weatheroffers a rare look into an occupation of special interest to aviation enthusiasts and pilots alike. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. From the author of Murder in a 172 and Flying under the Weather comes a fact-based expose of the errors of the National Transportation Safety Board in investigating aviation accidents. You hear all about the investigations for the well-publicized plane crashes. The NTSB addresses these cases with aplomb, delving deep into the mechanical issues and even bringing in non-NTSB investigators to cover themselves under the eye of Congress. But what about general aviation-the realm of the highest number of deaths? Flight physician John A. Shewmaker argues in Head in the Sand, Death in the Clouds that the NTSB fails to thoroughly and effectively assess pilot risks, a primary factor in general aviation accidents. Shewmaker uses evidence directly from NTSB narratives to clearly show the organization's failings. In this book, Shewmaker scrutinizes the accuracy of the NSTB's communication to the public, proposes adaptable and cost-efficient changes to the investigation system, andpaints a picture of a future in which proper protocols get to the bottom of problems in the aircraft platform. Shewmaker's book will appeal to aviation buffs, those watchful of government mismanagement, and even design professionals or those who enjoy solving serious problem laid bare by hard facts.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Pilots and aviation enthusiasts will be captivated by the intriguing investigation of popular myths surrounding the field of aviation safety in Murder in a 172. John A. Shewmaker, DO, uses actual narratives from National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigations of Cessna 172 crashes to debunk commonly held understandings of plane crash fatalities-particularly the belief that few fatalities have underlying medical causes. Shewmaker destroys the myth that very few fatal general aviation accidents have medical causes, exploring over 200 fatal events in the most widespread general aviation class of airframe, the Cessna 172. Drawing from his extensive experience as one of the country's busiest aviation examiners, Shewmaker delves into NTSB case studies, interpreting what the reports actually state-and perhaps more importantly-what the narratives fail to address. Shewmaker demonstrates how many self-styled aviation safety experts continue to misrepresent accident safety data, generating a false narrative about how and why aviation accidents occur, and ultimately doing a terrible disservice to the aviation community-and dishonoring the memories of those who have died doing what they loved.
