Piloting techniques on diverse topics in this collection of stories
from an experienced flight instructor's logbook.
Ron Fowler accurately states, “our skills of flight either improve
or slowly erode, but they rarely remain unchanged.” Speaking pilot
to pilot, the author picks up where initial pilot training leaves off. Lessons
from the Logbook is a collection of stories that began as articles
written for Plane & Pilot magazine, and was previously published
by Aviation Book Company.
The book is organized to reflect all the phases of flight: preflight,
departure, en route, and arrival, and concludes with a section on recurrent
training. It provides piloting techniques on such diverse topics as night
flying; what to do when you get stuck above or below a cloud deck; how
to handle in-flight emergencies; evaluating real-life takeoff performance;
pursuing a path to perfect flying; and much, much more.
Ron Fowler is the ideal flight instructor—experienced, patient,
entertaining, with excellent communication skills. Although readers may
never have an opportunity to fly with him, his gentle guidance will stick
with them: first when they read the pages that share the author’s
expertise, to be recalled again when they have a similar experience. Lessons
from the Logbook will inspire readers to improve their flying skills,
and more importantly, motivate them to take to the sky.
