The quest for the perfect takeoff and landing

By General Aviation News Staff · May 15, 2013 ·

Now available is “Making Perfect Takeoffs and Landings in Light Airplanes” by Ron Fowler.

Originally published as two separate books, this newly-combined edition   shows pilots how to develop total awareness for the situation, the airplane, and the self — and to convert that awareness into perfect takeoffs and landings, the publisher promises.

Each chapter defines a specific takeoff or landing situation and the set of characteristics unique to it.

Fowler presents the methods — and the logic behind the methods — that allow the pilot to master techniques key to normal takeoffs and landings, crosswind procedures, short- and soft-field operations, night procedures, critical landing situations, slips, tailwheel operations, and more.

Price: $19.95.
