Case studies of accidents and incidents caused by the nonuse or misuse of the ATC system complete the picture. The Third Edition also includes completely updated regulations and a glossary of abbreviations and acronyms. This bestselling volume in the Practical Flying Series is essential fo every pilot's bookshelf.
