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.

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

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.
