Flying involves risks. Fortunately, most of these risks have been identified and managed down to remarkably low levels. However, accidents still occur, and the key to successful flight is an in-depth knowledge of the risks and how to effectively manage them. "Managing Risk: Best Practices for Pilots" uses actual aircraft accident examples, statistics, aviation safety studies, and the authors' more than 60 years of combined experience as pilots and flight safety educators to document and describe the 10 most significant accident threat categories, and shed light on the applicable human-factor issues that make pilots vulnerable to them. This book provides practical strategies as well as "best practice" countermeasures pilots can use to avoid or effectively manage risks during crucial phases of flight. Readers will have a more complete knowledge of the external threats to flight safety, coupled with a deeper understanding of how human errors often play out in the cockpit. Students and pilots at all certificate levels will improve their risk management skills by learning the practices described in this book, and ATP applicants will find it fulfills a portion of the new knowledge requirements that become effective August 1, 2014. Written by Dale Wilson and Gerald Binnema, with a Foreword by John J. Nance. (Softcover, 7-1/4" x 9", 248 pages. Also available as an eBook and eBundle.)

Managing Risk: Best Practices for Pilots (eBundle edition)

Aviation Supplies and Academics, Inc.

Today's aviation industry enjoys a remarkable safety record, primarily because it has learned from the mistakes of its past. Through the study of aviation accidents, most of the risks of flying have been identified and the threats they pose to safety can be managed. However, aircraft accidents, such as controlled flight into terrain, loss of control, runway excursions and incursions, and midair collisions still occur, and the hazards of flight remain. Some accidents happen due to mechanical failure, improper maintenance, or hazardous weather--but the vast majority are caused by pilot action (or inaction). Pilots can commit errors and make decisions that lead to tragic outcomes. Most accidents are not intentional; inadvertent errors made by flight crews arise from normal human physiological, psychological, and psychosocial limitations. Drawing upon the latest scientific research, aviation safety studies, and accident findings, Human Factors: Enhancing Pilot Performance thoroughly explores the nature of these human limitations and how they affect flight. Most importantly, this book provides best practice countermeasures designed to help pilots minimize their influence on flight performance. Whether you are a fair-weather private pilot, a new-hire first officer at a regional airline, or a seasoned pilot with thousands of hours under your belt, Human Factors will help you understand why pilots make mistakes and arm you with the knowledge to successfully identify, avoid, and mitigate them. Textbook Features: <ul> <li>Designed for use as a primary textbook for courses covering the physiological and/or psychological aspects of flight crew performance</li> <li>Focuses on the practical application of human factors, primarily written for, and addressing the practical needs of, pilots</li> <li>Thorough coverage of the physiological, psychological and psychosocial factors that affect pilot performance</li> <li>Abundant examples of how these factors contribute to accidents and incidents</li> <li>Suggested best-practice countermeasures pilots can adopt to overcome or manage specific human factor limitations to pilot performance</li> <li>Extensive references and helpful resources for each topic</li> <li>Several appendices including CICTT's Aviation Occurrence Categories, Glossary and Abbreviations/Acronyms,</li> <li>Over 150 color illustrations</li> <li>Aircraft Accident index with more than 130 entries</li> <li>FREE additional resources available for instructors who adopt Human Factors into their course curriculum</li> <li>Reviewed by experts in aerospace physiology, aviation medicine, experimental psychology, cognitive psychology, advanced flight deck design, pilot human factors education, and by experienced airline pilots representing several different airlines in the United States and Canada.</li> <li>Foreword by Jay Hopkins, veteran writer of the Human Factors column for Flying magazine</li> </ul>

Human Factors: Enhancing Pilot Performance: (eBundle)

A guide to the essentials of stock photography; picking agencies, creating metadata, and shooting buyer-friendly images. Web-based stock photography has become one of the biggest income streams for photographers around the world, and has democratised the process, making it easy for just about anyone to sign up and sell their work. Not all photographers, however, can navigate the terminology, let alone understand that keywording will have more effect on their sales than the photo itself. This book will break anyone into that world: Metadata - Understand how to label and keyword your pictures so people find and buy them Create space - Discover how stock photos are used so you can compose pictures that will work for everyone Comparisons - See comparisons between more and less successful photographs assessed by the author

For centuries, the land and sea have forged the people of this vast land known as Newfoundland and Labrador. From the earliest inhabitants 10,000 years ago to the most recent generation of European descendants, the table fare has primarily evolved from what was readily available. The food of this easternmost province reflects the land and the people who live on it: hearty, solid and down-to-earth, and Wilson has managed to marry the two marvellously with revealing imagery. The 23 landscape photographs invoke a sense of place and tantalize the palette with a full spectrum. More than 25 recipes, several with accompanying photographs, whet the appetite and let us revel. This is a unique recipe book bound to complement the coffee table or kitchen, and is as colourful as the people who inspired it.
