The Pilot's Book of Questions is a fun book filled with questions. Did you ever have a chance to fly or talk with an expert, but couldn't think of what to ask? Whenever two pilots get together, there is the opportunity to continue the learning process and exchange the knowledge and experiences that are unique for each pilot.
The Pilot Book of Questions is not a book of pilot test or skill questions. Instead, it asks over 250 questions that don’t necessarily have a right or wrong answer. Each question can generate discussion, debate, research and hopefully a better understanding of the myriad of issues surrounding piloting.
Almost every pilot has achieved their skills by a unique path and as such has absorbed (or rejected) advice from a variety of instructors and situations. Thus, whenever two pilots get together, there is the opportunity to continue the learning process and exchange the knowledge and experiences that are unique for each pilot.
The Pilot's Book of Questions is not a book of pilot test or skill questions. Instead, it attempts to ask questions that don't necessarily have a right or wrong answer. Hopefully, each question generates discussion, debate, research and hopefully a better understanding of the myriad of issues surrounding piloting.
The questions in this book are numbered and organized by topic. Follow-up questions, if applicable, are listed after a question in smaller type. Relevant references to the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) or the Airman's Information Manual (AIM) may be included to provide additional insights.
Questions cover a wide range of flying experiences and aircraft types. Although many of the questions can have a short "yes" or "no" answer, there is much to be gained by also asking "why?" or "how?" as a standard follow-up to each question.
This book should be used by two or more pilots as a source of discussion topics and can help pass the time during a long cruise or waiting for the clouds to clear. It can help students gain more from their instructors than standard flight instruction typically covers. Used multiple times with pilots of different backgrounds and experience levels, this book can yield a broad range of opinion.
