A nice companion to the Emergency Maneuver Training DVD!
"Rich Stowell has the
unique ability to dissect complex topics in a
way that all pilots can understand. His
message is safety and his approach makes
sense." -- Rod Machado,
aviation speaker, educator & author
"In recent years, the
airlines have begun to realize the critical
importance of preparing their pilots for the
need to employ emergency maneuvering in the
case of attitude upsets. Rich Stowell, who
has been in the forefront of such training
for years, has just written a book that
provides similar advice for general aviation
pilots. Emergency Maneuver Training is
destined to contribute significantly to
general aviation safety, and I recommend it
to all who want to keep their airplanes out
of the scrap yard." -- Barry Schiff, author, video host, retired airline pilot
