The Killing Zone 1st Edition – (PDF/EPUB Version)

This literal survival guide for new pilots identifies ‘the killing zone,’ the 40-250 flight hours during which unseasoned aviators are likely to commit lethal mistakes. Presents the statistics of how many pilots will die in the zone within a year; calls attention to the eight top pilot killers (such as ‘VFR into IFR,’ ‘Takeoff and Climb’); and maps strategies for avoiding, diverting, correcting, and managing the dangers. Includes a Pilot Personality Self-Assessment Exercise that identifies pilot ‘types’ and how each type can best react to survive the killing zone.
