About Emergency Maneuver Training : Controlling Your
Product Description Award-winning flight instructor and aviation video host Rich Stowell has condensed eight years and 2,000+ hours of experience teaching recoveries from spins and other unusual attitudes into a 240-page manual sprinkled with 128 illustrations. Touted as the "definitive work on an important subject," the book provides a common sense treatment of many subjects inadequately addressed during the course of normal flight training. Several topics critical to safety are covered in detail: basic aerodynamics, turn dynamics, stall/spin dynamics, roll dynamics, glide performance, and off-airport landing scenarios. Stowell unravels such perennial aviation mysteries as the intricate relationship between pitch and power, the significance of the V-g Diagram, the real cause of spins, the behavior of wingtip vortices, and the human factors influencing aeronautical decision-making. In the process, the reader learns simplified emergency strategies to cope with a host of in-flight maladies, including: spins and spirals, inverted attitudes, wake turbulence, control failures, and engine failures. The timely information in this book is applicable to pilots at all levels of experience. Review "Emergency Maneuver Training will go a long way in increasing any pilot's knowledge.... Many of the recoveries are easy to remember, thanks to catchy mnemonics that give the correct sequence of control inputs.... At $29.95, it would be a welcome addition to the bookshelf of all pilots interested in learning how to control their airplanes during crises." -- S.M. Spangler, Editor, Flight Training magazine, April 1996, p. 68 "I certainly hope many pilots of today take advantage of this fine publication." -- Paul Poberezny, Founder & Chairman of the Board, Experimental Aircraft Association "In recent years, the airlines have begun to realize the critical importance of preparing their pilots for the need to employ emergency maneuvering in the case of attitude upsets. Rich Stowell, who has been in the forefront of such training for years, has just written a book that provides similar advice for general aviation pilots. Emergency Maneuver Training is destined to contribute significantly to general aviation safety, and I recommend it to all who want to keep their airplanes out of the scrap yard." -- Barry Schiff, author, video host, retired captain of a major U.S. airline "Rich Stowell has the unique ability to dissect complex topics in a way that all pilots can understand. His message is safety and his approach makes sense." -- Rod Machado, aviation speaker, educator & author "The writing in this book is clear, concise, and helped by good graphic illustrations throughout.... Should you buy this book? Not just yes, but Heck YES." -- Thomas White, Sport Aerobatics magazine, May 1996, p. 29 "This book is a goldmine of information for the serious pilot. No flight instructor or flight school should be without it. It will, I feel sure, be an all time classic; like Langewiesche's Stick and Rudder. If you are serious about aviation then you must own this book." -- John Lowery, safety consultant, author, retired Air Force & corporate pilot "This book too long has been needed in the aviation industry....[Stowell] goes into more depth than most private pilot texts, but still presents the material in a concise and comprehensible manner." -- Vicki Cruse-Campbell, Publisher, US Aviator magazine, September 1996, p. 61 "[I] found the concepts and text to be clearly presented." -- Bruce Landsberg, Executive Director, AOPA Air Safety Foundation "[Stowell] has given us a greatly detailed approach to the topic.... more than worthwhile in order to learn some vital information." -- David Cooke, AOPA-Australia magazine, March 1996 From the Back Cover The Definitive Work on an Important Subject A common sense treatment of many of the questions left unanswered during flight training, in one easy-to-read book!
