Air Crashes (eBook)

What went wrong, why, and what can be done about it

In this update of a classic book, Flying magazine editor Richard L. Collins explores the causes of many aviation accidents and tries to determine how to avoid the same fate. Each accident is reconstructed and made “on-the-spot” vivid by transcripts of cockpit conversations and the findings of official investigations. Diverse chapters cover pilot error, wind shear, mid-air collisions and more. Collins adds his notes to the end of each chapter, bringing his perspective to these accidents some 25 years later. One of the best books on risk management ever written.
