Publisher's Synopsis
This is the Black & White Print Version of Karl Schlimm's book, "The All-Attitude Aviator," with Foreword and extensive contributions by Astronaut William G. Gregory-Space Shuttle STS-67 Mission Pilot (A Color Print Version is available as well: ISBN 978-1-0811-6708-0). This book provides indispensable tips and techniques for pilots on how to prevent and recover from aircraft upsets or loss of control. Karl is one of the most experienced Upset Prevention and Recovery Training experts in the world. An upset is a loss of control event involving excessive airplane pitch, bank and airspeed excursions. The fatality rate from such events is very high. Karl has almost 5000 hours and ten years of experience teaching UPRT to commercial, military and private pilots in propeller and jet training aircraft in both the low and high-altitude environment, and has extensive experience teaching UPRT in flight simulators. You won't find some of this information anywhere else. It puts a practical twist on the information on UPRT published by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and industry experts. Karl highlights many of the mistakes his clients have made over the years, as well as important human factors effecting prevention of upsets and safe recovery from them. This book will help any pilot get the most from upset prevention and recovery training. Karl highly recommends at least some on-aircraft UPRT and explains why in this book. The "All-Attitude Aviator" has valuable practical knowledge for aviation industry safety, and human factors experts as well.
