Avoiding Common Pilot Errors

This important work interprets -- from the controller's perspective -- mistakes pilots frequently make when operating in controlled airspace. Drawing on 20 years experience in aviation as a pilot, instructor, air traffic controller, and FAA supervisor, John Stewart cites examples of situations frequently encountered by controllers that disclose these problem areas: Lack of education: made apparent in pilot inability to correctly operate equipment, execute flight maneuvers, or perform standard procedures -- due either to improper training or inadequate practice. Little to no preflight preparation: Poor planning results in things being done in the air that should have been done on the ground -- leaving pilots "behind the aircraft." Need for better communications: advance filing, correct phraseology, attentiveness -- techniques that can improve communication between pilots and controllers. Regulations: such as cruising altitudes, speed limits, position reporting -- rules so confusing that even many controllers misunderstand them. TCAs and ARSAs: unfamiliarity with operating in terminal airspace -- complicated by pilot resistance. Stewart also explains in detail the equipment that controllers use now, and will use in the future, plus, he reviews several "by-pilot-request-only" ATC procedures that can save you time and money.
