Customer Reviews

Don't take your passengers with you.

This book is a good wake-up call to the dangers pilots put there passengers, and those on the ground, in by thinking they can do it all by themselves. It has the usual war stories of "There is was upside down at 20,000 feet..." but integrates a good overview of CRM into the discission and lets you see for yourself how effective CRM could have prevented all the accidents, incidents, and felony stupids sighted.A quick read about three hours and has a good index (what can I say, a text book without a good index is worthless). I gave the book four stars because some of the chapters are written by guest authors resulting in some lack of consistency. Also a bibliography would have been nice.I have also thumbed through some of the other books in this series. The series appears to be a must read for any one in the aviation community who is serious about flight safety.
