<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">A solid understanding of basic flight principles and no-nonsense advice on what to do once inside the cockpit is offered in this sensible toolbook. Containing step-by-step descriptions of a thorough preflight inspection, startup, taxi, takeoff, cruise, approach, landing, and after-landing actions, this authoritative guide places particular emphasis on what a pilot should actually be doing while in the pilot seat. While indispensable for active pilots and trainees, this manual is equally valuable for virtual aviators interested in adding a level of realism to their flight simulations. Discussions of basic aviation psychology, recall lists, flow checks, and airmanship fundamentals are also included.</P>
