For all pilots. This book provides hard-to-find aeronautical information to help pilots make sound decisions when conditions are less than optimum.

"Professional Pilot"—The title of this book describes what all pilots should aspire to during their aviation endeavors. Not to say that every pilot should try to make a living flying, but that each should treat flying with the respect for their chosen field exhibited by professionals of any industry. Learning to fly doesn’t stop when you receive your certificate or new rating. It is a continual process that can be expedited by the experience of others.

As pilot in command of an aircraft, safety must always be the overriding concern. This book is a checklist for the unexpected — perfect for any pilot from student through professional. Geared toward light twins and larger airplanes, it contains flying techniques, rules of thumb, and facts of flight gleaned from a variety of reference sources and from the author's 50 years as a professional pilot. Guides you through the often unforeseen events that can plague an aviator from takeoff to landing.

Professional Pilot is the pilot's only source of information regarding the FAA certification of takeoff and landing performance of light twins, as well as commuter and Transport Category airplanes. In addition, high Mach flight, and reciprocating and jet cruise control performance information are covered.

Written with wisdom and personality, Professional Pilot prepares you for almost any conceivable encounter in an aircraft with hard-to-find aeronautical advice and hard-to-believe, real-life examples. Softcover, illustrated, 7” x 10”, 336 pages.
