Making Perfect Landings in Light Airplanes

Book excerpt: This book aims to develop in pilots a keen sense of awareness in each of the three major areas of the landing procedure: recognition of the landing situation and understanding its true nature, knowledge of how to meet and weigh each task required against personal skill and limitation, and ability to evaluate the airplane's capacity to meet challenge. Each chapter presents and defines a specific landing situation so that pilots can quickly recognise it in the cockpit and institute corrective procedures.
