This compendium of aviation lore teaches pilots to master each phase of a flight, sharpen their feel” shrewdly, and handle their aircraft smoothly. For more than fifty years as airline captain and private pilot, Robert N. Buck has pursued the art of flying an aircraft ranging from open biplanes to 747s, from fighters to competition gliders. Out of his experience he has developed an approach to airmanship for all kinds of conditions and for all levels of pilots. He calls it "getting down to basics" and it is the substance of "The Art of Flying." Marshalling his own experiences and the best research in aerodynamics, meteorology, and accident prevention, Buck reviews the keys necessary to master each phase of a flight, from preparation to inflight assessments to the critical moments just before and after touchdown.

This box set combines the three bestselling aviation trade titles of all time. These three books are icons within the aviation community. Buck is a world renown weather and flying expert who is currently writing his life/career memoir for Harper Collins. The foreword to Weather Flying is written by Langewiesche. The most influential pilot organization in the world, AOPA, hails Weather Flying as, "the most worthwhile piece of reading matter a pilot could own." AIAA claims, "this book is superbly written, the topics are well chosen, and the style entertaining...Buck uses his wisdom to write a very practical book that promises to become an aviation classic." Taylor is an multi-award winning author for numerous aviation books. Instrument Flying is his best and most famous title. AOPA's president issued a signature review of this book recommending it to "any pilot who wishes to be at their best in the instrument system." Buck authors the Foreword in which he states, "this book is a valuable link between theory and what instrument flying is really like." Taylor, retired from 40+ year career in military and commercial piloting and academia, is an aviation consultant

In a straightforward style, new author Robert O. Buck (son of the book's original author) delves into how computers, personal electronic devices, electronic flightinstrument systems, and other technologies are changing the way general aviation pilots fly weather. He addresses the philosophy and discipline required to use these systems, what they are really telling us, and their task as supplement to good flying sense. The updated Fifth Edition also discusses how to handle changes in FSS weather briefing, including a look at new weather information products and airborne datalink weather information as they affect weather flying.

Weather Flying, Fifth Edition

Flying know-how

Delacorte Press/E. Friede

Have modern aviation technology and regulations become so complex that they actually hinder, rather than help pilots fly aircraft well? Do they deprive pilots of the time and liberty to apply innate instincts and skills necessary to safe, well-performed flight? Are pilots becoming victims of advancement intended to aid them? Are they becoming scapegoats for accidents ever more frequently cited as "pilot error"? Changes in piloting throughout modern aviation and answers to these questions are explained in The Pilot"s Burden. Drawing on extensive firsthand experience, Buck traces the evolution of the required skills and increased responsibilities of pilots, from the early days of the open cockpit biplanes flying in uncontrolled skies, to the latest computerized aircraft flying in the jam-packed, controlled skies of today. He recounts aviation history to show how increasing technology has affected pilots.

The Pilot's Burden: Flight Safety and the Roots of Pilot Error

Iowa State Pr

During his 37 years at TWA, beginning with the Douglas DC-2 and ending with the Boeing 747, Buck was the company's chief pilot and the director of thunderstorm research. He traces the history and development of pilot skills and concepts of flight safety to argue that pilots today are probably being asked to perform flawlessly in an environment that generates opportunity for error, and that such a situation strips them of the autonomy to use the very judgment that passengers, companies, governments, and society requires them to have. He does not index his work. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
