(ISBN 1 875401 61 X) Overview: Doug Edwards is a former Air Force fighter pilot, flying instructor, safety officer and aircraft accident investigator. Aside from 3,500 hours in single engine jets, he has some time in Hawker Siddely 748 aircraft. Now a civilian, his aircraft of choice is a Cessna 310R. As an instructor and later as a staff officer, he was involved for over a decade in studying and refining pilot training methods and processes. Much of Fit to Fly is based on that experience together with that gained developing a management training course for professionals and then as a senior public servant. Invaluable opportunities to observe particular personality types and behaviours have been put to good use in the concepts presented in this book. The motivation to write Fit to Fly can be easily expressed. There are too many avoidable accidents. Doug and his mate 'Fran' practise the 'life was not meant to be comfortable' prescriptions presented in these pages. They have discovered its benefits in difficult situations. |
