Fifty Years of Flying Insights - Paperback Edition

$12.99

Since soloing on my sixteenth birthday and continuing as an active pilot for more than fifty years, I have flown everything from jets to Cubs. Along the way, I gained some valuable insights into becoming a better and safer pilot. In addition to being a professional pilot, I was also an active flight instructor for more than 40 years, having given more than 8,000 hours of flight instruction. This book shares many of the lessons I learned over the years, often through interesting anecdotes from my flying and instructing experiences.

THINGS I DO
Solving problems through the practical application of human factors.

Effective Error Reduction Strategies for Mission-Critical Industries
Errors are part of our humanness but we can reduce human error by applying our understanding of error causal factors. I can assess your operations, make recommendations, and develop a comprehensive program for error reduction. Reducing the number of human errors reduces waste, increases productivity and enhances safety.

Author
My passion for human factors as they relate to reducing errors, especially in aviation, has led me to writing. I recently published a book I have been working on for more than a year. Titled, "50 Years of Flying Insights," I attempted to share some of the things I have learned during my flying and flight instructing career. I included many anecdotes along with the lessons I learned through them.

I have also written many articles over the years and I am in the process of collecting my favorites and publishing them in the form of e-books. Please click the button below to see the books on Amazon.
