Training For Pilots Of Glass Cockpit Airplanes


This book is for everyone who flies, wants to fly, or instructs in general aviation glass cockpit airplanes. Its purpose is to explore what makes glass cockpit airplanes different, and to give general aviation pilots the tools and knowledge they need to fly these airplanes safely and efficiently.

Glass cockpit technology offers general aviation pilots the promise of increased levels safety and performance. Unfortunately, the increased levels of safety have not materialized. A recent National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) study showed fewer total accidents for glass cockpit aircraft but a higher fatal accident rate and a higher total of fatal accidents.

Why has the promise of greater levels of safety for glass cockpit airplanes not been realized? Because, in order to realize these benefits general aviation pilots must learn a new way of flying. Unfortunately, general aviation pilots and training providers have not yet evolved the way they train and fly to catch up with the advances in glass cockpit technology. The goal of this book is to help remedy that problem.

This book is available online at Amazon.com as a paperback ($14.95 + S&H) or as a Kindle e-book ($9.99).
