Download or read book Flying Blind Fly Safe H written by M Schiavo and published by William Morrow. This book was released on 1997-05-01 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by a crusading former government official, FLYING BLIND, FLYING SAFE is the book that must be read by everyone who flies. In it is the vital airline safety information the public has a right--and a need--to know: the most dangerous planes and flying conditions; the least secure vs the best equipped airports; which carriers to avoid and why; and ways to help yourseslf increase safety. As Inspector General of the U.S. Department of Transportation from 1990-1996, Mary Schiavo made waves, headlines, and enemies and brought about much needed change during her administration. A former assistant U.S. attorney and licensed pilot, Transportation's "top cop" became concerned early on with what she believed were holes in the aviation safety net and set out to investigate unsettling allegations of fraud, mismanagement, waste, abuse, corruption, and duplicity within the airline industry and the FAA itself. What she uncovered were deep-seated internal policies of denial and cover-up, a shocking lack of concern for public safety and a conscious acceptance of substandard work, parts, maintenance, supervision, and security procedures and practices that have been exposed by dozens of air disasters--including the tragic ValuJet crash in Florida and TWA flight 800 in New York--and which will doubtless be responsible for many more unless Schiavo's warnings are heeded. FLYING BLIND, FLYING SAFE is your guide to safer, smarter air travel.

Download or read book Aviation Safety and Pilot Control written by Committee on the Effects of Aircraft-Pilot Coupling on Flight Safety and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1997-03-14 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adverse aircraft-pilot coupling (APC) events include a broad set of undesirable and sometimes hazardous phenomena that originate in anomalous interactions between pilots and aircraft. As civil and military aircraft technologies advance, interactions between pilots and aircraft are becoming more complex. Recent accidents and other incidents have been attributed to adverse APC in military aircraft. In addition, APC has been implicated in some civilian incidents. This book evaluates the current state of knowledge about adverse APC and processes that may be used to eliminate it from military and commercial aircraft. It was written for technical, government, and administrative decisionmakers and their technical and administrative support staffs; key technical managers in the aircraft manufacturing and operational industries; stability and control engineers; aircraft flight control system designers; research specialists in flight control, flying qualities, human factors; and technically knowledgeable lay readers.

Download or read book The Safe Pilot s Handbook written by Enderson Rafael and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-08-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Goyer, writing for Flying Magazine years ago, has worked some math over it and concluded that the fatality rate per mile was something around twenty-four times higher in general aviation than in the airlines. Twenty-four times. This means you are twelve times more likely to die in a GA aircraft than in the car that took you to the airport. We must do something about it, and this book is part of that effort. And that is why it is both related to a student pilot or a seasoned long-haul captain. To bring them together, so they can share experiences and impressions. With this reading, you will find quick ways to fly efficiently while preserving safety as your highest value. Because there is no point in flying if you will not arrive at all. About the author: Enderson Rafael was born in Florianópolis, Brazil, in 1980. He graduated in Advertising at the ESPM-Rio and worked as a copywriter for several years before joining aviation as a cabin crew, in 2005, for one of the main airlines in South America. In 2012, he decided to pursuit his childish dream and got his Private, Instrument and Commercial licenses in Florida, United States, and has been studying flight safety and writing about it for more than fifteen years, with investigation courses in Embry-Riddle and CENIPA. In 2015 he started flying for the airlines, and today he is an ATP based in the Middle East. Having written over a hundred safety and technical articles to aviation websites in Brazil, Europe and US, he has three novels and two non-fictional books published, two of them related to aviation. This is his third.
