Takeoffs and Landings Book Review

Takeoffs and Landings: The Critical Maneuvers and Everything In Between


I picked up a new book to pass my time on the ground, its called Takeoffs and Landings: The Crucial Maneuvers and Everything In BetweenTakeoffs and Landings: The Critical Maneuvers and Everything In Between by Leighton Collins.

This book has done a wonderful job of explaining how some of the abstract ideas that are introduced in my Jeppessen student pilot guide equate to real life.

The author of this book also published "Air Facts" magazine for 35 years to introduce tips and safety issues to pilots in the early days of general aviation.

While this book is a re release of a book first published in 1983, it is full of explanations, tips and different ways of thinking about how and why planes fly.

The foreword is by Wolfgang Langewiesche of Stick and Rudder fame.
