The Turbine Pilot's Flight Manual
- ( 5)
Everything a pilot is expected to know when transitioning to turbine-powered aircraft.
In Greg Brown's book The Savvy Flight Instructor the author's love for flying
is obvious in every chapter, as is his concern for the image of the flight
instructor and flight school: that they perform the best they can to seek out,
promote, and sustain the joy of flight for the good of the entire industry.
In keeping with his role as general aviation advocate, Greg hosts the "Aviation
Careers Forum" and the "New Pilots Forum" on America Online, and serves as a
Contributing Editor for Flight Training magazine. He has entertained and
educated aviation audiences as a speaker since 1990, most recently as presenter
for NATA's acclaimed Flight School Training Manager Seminars.
An active practitioner of the noble art of flight instructing since 1979, Greg
has also served as a professional pilot in both scheduled and corporate
aviation, and flown extensively for pleasure and personal business. His teaching
background also includes service as faculty member at Purdue University, regular
presentations at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, and numerous professional
seminars.
Greg Brown earned Bachelor's and Master's degrees at the University of Illinois
at Urbana-Champaign, where his graduate work included human-factors cockpit
design at the Aviation Research Laboratory. He studied for two years at the
University of Wisconsin-Madison, and completed several advanced flight ratings
at Purdue University. He holds an ATP pilot certificate with Boeing 737 type
rating, and Flight Instructor certificate with all fixed wing aircraft ratings
including glider. Greg also holds Advanced and Instrument Ground Instructor
ratings, and has been active as a pilot since 1971.
Greg was honored with the "2000 Industry/FAA National Flight Instructor of the
Year" award.
