ASA A Pilot’s Accident Review (eBook PD)
General Description
ASA A Pilot’s Accident Review - We often learn best by reviewing the mistakes of others. To this end, author John Lowery provides an in-depth analysis of prominent aviation accidents to illustrate the potential dangers during each phase of flight and the psychology behind pilot error. Lowery also demonstrates how a chain of errors—often originating from a pilot’s support team—can precipitate into fatal accidents. An understanding of these factors is key to training to become safer, more effective pilots-in-command.
A Pilot’s Accident Review provides pilots with a study of safety procedures in intense circumstances, and a survey of high-profile incidents designed to build awareness of the most preventable factors in pilot error. Covered are the primary causes of CFIT, as well as the human factors that can precipitate accidents—particularly complacency, over-confidence, and compulsion. Lowery discusses at length the JFK, Jr. and Concorde accidents, and those involving Frank Sinatra's mother, Reba McIntire’s band, John Denver and Wiley Post.
Author John Lowery first soloed at age 16 in a Piper J-3 Cub, at Auburn-Opelika Airport (AUO). After graduating from Auburn University, he spent the next 24 years in the United States Air Force flying a variety of high-performance aircraft, including a brief break in service during which he flew for Western Airlines as a First Officer. Upon returning to the Air Force he subsequently lived and flew all over the world. After Air Force retirement, Lowery spent the following 24 years as a practicing flight instructor and FAA Designated Pilot Proficiency Examiner in a Sabreliner corporate jet, ultimately accumulating 13,500 flying hours. In addition, he was for some years a Designated Pilot Examiner in the Beechcraft King Air turbo-prop series and various light airplanes.
Now retired in California, he remains active as an author of aviation books. His publications include Anatomy of a Spin, Professional Pilot, A Pilot’s Accident Review, and Life in the Wild Blue Yonder: jet fighter pilot stories from the cold war.
