New AV Book: "Glass Cockpit Flying"


by Bob Littlefield, CFII, http://www.flightskills.com/

Glass cockpit technology offers general aviation pilots the promise of increased levels safety and performance. Unfortunately, the increased levels of safety have not materialized. A recent National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) study showed fewer total accidents for glass cockpit aircraft but a higher fatal accident rate and a higher total of fatal accidents!

Why has the promise of greater levels of safety for glass cockpit airplanes not been realized? Because general aviation pilots and training providers have not yet evolved the way they train and fly to catch up with the advances in glass cockpit technology. The goal of this book is to help remedy that problem.

This book is important to everyone who flies, wants to fly, or instructs in general aviation glass cockpit airplanes. It explains what makes glass cockpit airplanes different, and gives general aviation pilots the tools and knowledge they need to fly these airplanes safely and efficiently. You can find more information on the book – and order it online – at Amazon.com, on our web site at www.flightskills.com or on our Facebook page. The book is also available for purchase in the pilot shops at DVT, GYR, IWA and SDL.
