Synopsis:
Human factors are reportedly responsible for 90% of all general aviation accidents and incidents. Robert Cohn hopes to reduce that astounding figure with this book. Drawing on completed NTSB investigation findings on actual accidents, many of which proved fatal, Cohn sheds light on serious flaws in both pilot procedures and FAA rules and training requirements. He examines how and why a variety of normal human frailties adversely effect pilot performance, a subject rarely addressed by the FAA.
Reviews: Cohn's examination of 26 aviation accidents includes commentary from as many points of view as possible, including those of pilots, passengers, witnesses, FAA investigators, airport representatives, and others in official and unofficial capacities. Cohn's intent is to improve product and personal safety through education. By careful scrutiny of how accidents happen and how they are reported, he hopes to improve training, construction, and regulations. Essential reading for the private pilot; interesting for anyone who has ever flown or plans to. Denise Perry Donavin
