... Hey Jay, Sure enjoyed reading your report on R.A.S. Congrats (from a four month PP-ASEL!) I just finished reading "101 Things To Do After You Get Your Private Pilot's License" by LeRoy Cook. It was a really good read, and covered lots of fun stuff to do, and practical ways to do things. Helps me sort out what the most valuable parts of my training were, and where I need to grow, too. PS. My version was the first edition (1985!) I checked out from the Minneapolis Public Library. There's a brand new 2004 edition I'd love to get my hands on! Otherwise I'll be off searching for an ARSA! Good luck, and hope you have as much fun as I've had flying in the last four months. Neil Bratney PP-ASEL Hello Neil, Truth be told, I bought the newest version of 101 right after celebrating with the Mrs. Getting "101 Things..." is what actually made me think to ask the question! Congrats on getting your wings, too! Jay |

What books and or videos would you recommend that a new pilot put on his or her short list? A couple of years back over in rec.aviation.military discussion turned to the Tenerife crash and cockpit resource management. Here is what I wrote about a book that is on my bookshelf: An interesting source (with a provocative title) is David Beaty's book, "The Naked Pilot: The Human Factor in Aircraft Accidents" (ISBN 1 85310 482 5, Airlife). I think Beaty may have used the Tenerife crash as an example in his chapter on "The Clockwork Captain, or Deus in Machina". Many of the lessons in this book can be applied to other areas, such as my own (software development), and to life in general - and that certainly includes driving. I have it in mind to buy it for my brother for Christmas and to encourage him to ensure that my nephews both read it before they start driving. |
