Reviewer - Tim Location - Chagrin Falls, OH Date - 9-14-2011 Pilot Rating - Student Overall Durability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Easy to read and informative. I am an older student and reading this made me wonder what I had gotten myself into. The stories are memorable and inspiring. They have have inspired me to take care with flight planning and establish solid personal minimums. ConsNone. General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |

Date - 5-30-2010 Pilot Rating - Instrument OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | ( No Pros Listed From Reviewer ) Cons( No Cons Listed From Reviewer ) General CommentsA lot of words for a handful of important tips. But, admittedly, one of those tips could save my life. |
Date - 5-26-2010 Pilot Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Good writing and great instruction. ConsA little dry. General CommentsI thought this would be more of a storytelling book. It is a great book, but it is more instructional than editorial. Nonetheless, it is a very good book. |
Date - 5-22-2010 Pilot Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | This is a valuable book. It is as important in its fundamental presentation as the FAA wings program. Yet, it is written well enough that it is a comfortable read. Richard Collins is correct: There is nothing quite so important as your ConsAdding an appendix summarizing the safety research would be valuable. General CommentsBecause of the timing of the statistics and the nature of books in general I suspect this product will have a shelf life. I would recommend Shorty's move to publish and distribute this book in volume (perhaps discounted). Richard is an excellent narrator (I have all his air facts), so you may also consider this as a book on tape or better an extended, downloadable video or both. |
Date - 4-21-2010 Pilot Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Few pilots would disagree that it's best to learn from OTHER people's mistakes. This book does a great job at assembling stories from several areas in avaition that we can learn from. ConsNo pictures. The stories are great but when reading about airplanes and airplane accidents, pictures and illustrations would be nice. General CommentsThis book doesn't take a great deal of time to read and has lots of stories that we can learn from. |

Date - 2-4-2010 Pilot Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Excellent first hand accounts of GA flying. Provides synopsis of why good pilots have bad things happen, how to minimize risk, how to self manage expectations, and when to fold 'em. ConsPaperback, not hard cover. General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |
Date - 2-1-2010 Pilot Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Easy to read. Informative. I really enjoy reading everything Richard Collins writes. Conssomewhat expensive. General CommentsAs a 53 yr old student pilot I really enjoyed Richard's common sense approach and explanations. I would recommend this book as a "mandatory" read for all student pilots. And while many a seasoned pilot may determine they can't learn anything from this book, I would tend to doubt that viewpoint. I have spent a professional career managing risk in the nuclear power industry and in the Navy. Richard forces us to think about risk management in flying that next hour. |
Date - 1-22-2010 Pilot Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Only about 1/2 way through the book so far, but it really makes you think and broadens ones awareness. ConsReminds me a little bit of the drivers education films I saw years ago which had me and a lot of others wondering if we really wanted to learn to drive. It's a reminder that you can be flying along, thinking things are great (primarily IFR) and in less than a couple of minutes you drop off radar and are DEAD!!!! Kind of takes a little bit of the fun out of flying. General CommentsGreat learning tool and eye opener. Great gift for a pilot. |
| More of Collins wisdom and writing style and stories that just make sense. I so miss his column in Flying, I can't help hear his voice when reading this. ConsIt's a paperback hence the durability rating, as long as I don't get it wet or spill coffee on it it will last pretty good. General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |
Date - 1-13-2010 Pilot Rating - Instrument OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | As usual, Richard provides us with much of the wisdom obtained in more than 20,000 hours of GA flying and hundreds of hours of accident research. Its a quick read with life saving advice and reminders of how to fly cross country safely. Cons( No Cons Listed From Reviewer ) General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |

Collins. Fantastic reading for any pilot. Loved every page! |
Date - 12-28-2009 Pilot Rating - Commercial OverallDurability Value Usability Expected Recommended No | ( No Pros Listed From Reviewer ) ConsThe so called book at $24.95 is nothing more than a thin paperback which should retail generously, at about $6.95 at maximum. Unfortunately the cover picture depiction of it does not reveal those qualities. It looks like a hardcover fully bound book. The Christmas present for my ATP son took about 40 minutes for him to fully read and he told me he didn't learn anything he didn't already know.

Date - 11-22-2009 Pilot Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | I highly recommend this book to all pilots (an avaition buffs). It is a snapshot of the authors indepth approach to "Risk Mangement". His lifelong experience and "pearls-of-wisdom" alluded to in this book, are a benifit to all pilots. I plan on rereading it many times. This comes from an individual (me) who seldom reads books. It belongs in any pilots library! ConsNone. General Comments Totally enjoyed Richard's book. It brought back many of the foolish things I have done in attempt to build flight-time. |
