"The Artistry of the Great Flyer" teaches stick and rudder
skills all too often missed in pilot training. For those pilots who
have grown fearful, bored, or uninspired by flying, Jim Alsip
offers profound insight that will have you flying safer, better,
and with more joy.
Most pilots know of a good pilot who lost his life in a
maneuvering accident. Alsip's book provides tools for avoiding
tragedy-surprising skills that help pilots avoid the deadly "booby
trap" turn.
Good stick and rudder skills can save a plane and a life in a
pinch, but they require training and practice. In an emergency,
pilots fly like they train; sight picture is critical to that
performance. Here, Alsip aptly quotes his mother: "Look where you
are going, and watch what you are doing." While the lighthearted
approach is appreciated, the sentiment is deadly serious.
Alsip is a highly skilled master of flying. In "The Artistry of
the Great Flyer," readers will develop life-saving aerial dexterity
to recover from upsets and spins, and gain the skills needed to
increase flyer confidence and fun.
