The 17 Most Popular Ways To Fall Out Of The Sky - DVD Vols I-IV
This Hollywood-quality series has high production values while providing useful information that's difficult to find elsewhere. 17 WAYS focuses on the primary causes of accidents according to NTSB statistics. This breakthrough video actually creates the flight situation and illustrates how human factors influence the decision-making process, contribute to pilot error and cause accidents. Their unique approach offers distinct advantages: the viewer becomes a participant in the flight experience, which guarantees maximum retention of this critical information. Better retention means stronger performance...and safer flights. Hosted by Bob Hoover, premier aerobatic demonstration pilot, and includes segments of his airshow performed in the Shrike Aero Commander. Written by John Lowery, renowned aviation safety writer, author of "Professional Pilot" and "Anatomy of a Spin," and instructor at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. Features an unparalleled staff of aviation experts - test pilots, flight surgeons and instructors from both the Naval and Air Force Test Pilot Schools, the Institute of Aviation Safety at USC, and Embry Riddle University. The 17 WAYS series contains lifesaving information for pilots of all experience levels. It's an unbeatable tool to prepare for the Flight Review, and will serve as an invaluable library of safety checklists and skilled pilot technique that you'll refer to time and time again. This complete four-part volume features a companion booklet with self-tests at the end of each section. All four volumes included:
Volume I highlights critical factors during pre-flight preparation and takeoff that can turn a typical flight situation into a crisis. Topics include aborting takeoffs safely; premature rotation and lift off; "get-home-itis" and mind-set; high density altitude takeoffs; go/no-go decisions; poor preflight hazards; engine failure on takeoff in a twin; fuel precautions; weight and balance considerations on takeoff; and unusual CG considerations. Volume II focuses on the types of accidents that cause the highest number of fatalities. It considers the many decisions that must be made during the cruise phase of flight and how the pilot's approach to these decisions can affect the entire flight. Topics include little known usable tips for mid-air collision avoidance; buzzing hazards and associated illusions; stall/spin issues; scud running and other weather considerations; fuel management; and VFR into IMC. Volume III explores a host of conditions that can disrupt a typical approach and landing - conditions that are involved in 60% of all general aviation accidents. Topics include crosswinds, wind shear effects and how to predict them; destabilized approaches; go-arounds; night landings and illusions; traffic pattern hazards at uncontrolled airports and how to avoid them; gear-up landings; and checklist use. Volume IV focuses on the aeromedical factors that affect your body in flight and explores how balance and orientation can be altered when your body is deprived of land-based bearings. Topics include landing illusions caused by terrain, runway width or length; the in-flight effects of physiological factors, such as stress, illness, fatigue, and medication; hypoxia; effects of alcohol and hangover; the bends; false horizons; the Giant Hand effect; spatial misorientation and spatial disorientation and their different causes.
