Over the past 20 years, despite much knowledge, advice and technical development, there has only been a small improvement in the safety record of general aviation. This book is all about reducing risks when flying, and it aims to increase the competency of the pilot, thus enabling him/her to obtain greater pleasure and satisfaction from the investment already made in terms of financial, mental and physical effort to obtain the pilot's licence. The book tackles the problem of flight safety in a practical way which is suited to the pilot's actual thought processes and operational habits as they apply to today's aircraft and environment.
