Skyhawk Pilot
Learning to Fly the Ultimate Bug Smasher
A former Airborne Ranger straps himself into the cockpit of a two-seat single engine aircraft. Over the last twelve years he has travelled the world, parachuting out of a C130 into the skies over Columbus, Georgia, to riding into the dark Iraqi night in a Blackhawk Helicopter. From jumping out of perfectly good aircraft, to manning the controls himself, his aviation career has only just begun.
Skyhawk Pilot is the story of how I went from a ground pounding infantryman to a real-life private pilot. I always wanted to learn how to fly, but due to the enormous price tag and mountain of obstacles, I never thought I could do it. In this book I share the tactics, techniques, and procedures I learned in training, while offering encouragement for new student pilots along the way.
If you have ever wanted to learn how to fly and were unsure of how to begin, this is the perfect book for you. If you are a student pilot, or an F-16 fighter jock, you can ride along with me as we rediscover the magic of flight.
Staying Grounded
A Guide for Aviation Ground Instructors
These students are going to try to kill me, he thought to himself as he reviewed his lesson plan. And it was true. Not intentionally, of course, but training the next generation of student pilots could prove to be a hazardous profession. It was best to be mentally prepared.
Staying Grounded is a guide for aviators who wish to pass on their knowledge to the future pilots of the community. From laying out the differences between basic and advanced ground instructors to developing creative new ways of teaching the science of flight, this book is an excellent read for expanding the instructors’ toolkit.
If you are interested in manned flight or if you are already a pilot and want to take your understanding to the next level, join me as I share how rewarding a career in aviation instruction can be.
