Safety Last
The Dangers of Commercial Aviation - An Indiction by an Airline Pilot
Power-Waters, Brian (Airline Captain)
The author of this eyeopening expose is a sheduled jet Airline captain, as well as a fighter pilot in the US Air Force Reserve, with twenty years of professional flying expenence. Writing from the point of view of a pilot, he covers every aspect of commercial aviation and brings the reader to the conclusion that it is a much more perilous means of transportation than is generally suspected. Most of the matenal in this book has never been touched upon in any previous book on air safety: how poorly equipped most airports are; how airlines write their own safety regulations and then succeed in evading even those requirements; what happens on the flight deck, and the dangers inherent in even the most routine shuttle flights. The author examines crash investigations, he takes you on spine-tingling reconstructions of disasters you may well have heard about, and he reveals the often shocking truth of what really went wrong as opposed to what you may have read in the newspapers.
