Make Better Landings
Bramson, Alan
Revised Edition.
This is essentially a practical book devoted entirely to that most exacting phase of flight, the approach and landing. Some pilots might claim that instrument flying, aerobatics or formation flying make heavier demands on the pilot than the less glamorous act of arriving back on the ground. However accident statistics published by most countries prove that a very high proportion of accidents, some of them serious, occur during the approach and landing, often in good weather when there is really no excuse. That was the situation when Make Better Landings was first published in 1982 and unfortunately that remains the situation today.
Alan Bramson explains the procedure of landing in a logical, step-by-step order, offering a wealth of practical advice at each stage from downwind to touchdown. He explains how to deal with emergencies that demand glide approaches, flapless landings and asymmetric situations in a twin. Crosswind landings are explained in detail and the book covers piston, turboprop and jet handling techniques. There are chapters on tailwheel aircraft, landing on contaminated surfaces and landing on skis.
The book is illustrated with 83 two-colour diagrams drawn by the author. It is a must for both inexperienced pilots and the professional who is converting on to new aircraft types. Like its sister volume, Be a Better Pilot, this book is aimed at helping all pilots to attain more professional standards, and to derive greater enjoyment from their flying.
