The tips and techniques shared here are useful to the typical rated private pilot, yet the books addresses the needs of the solo student pilot to the thousand hour pilot and the flight instructor as well. Each chapter defines a specific takeoff or landing and the set of chracteristics unique to it. Ron Fowler presents the methods and the logic behind the methods that allow the pilot to master techniques key to normal takeoffs and landings, crosswind procedures, short and soft field operations, night procedures, critical landing situations, slips wheel operations and more.
