Outstanding for its clarity and readability, this book covers such diverse topics as slip tips, takeoff techniques, crosswind landings, scud running, flying the ILS, emergency tactics, and multi-engine flying.
Barry Schiff provides a wealth of valuable information based on his years of experience. Foreword by Ernest Gann.
"The best book about flying airplanes I have ever read." — Ernest K. Gann
Developing and maintaining proficiency at the controls is a key concern for pilots at all levels. In The Proficient Pilot, award-winning author and veteran airline captain and flight instructor Barry Schiff provides a wealth of valuable information based on his years of experience, concentrating on procedures and techniques not covered in other aviation books.
In his foreword to the book, Ernest K. Gann writes, "I recommend you heed Schiff's messages because they are written by a true aviator... Schiff is a true pro, and he covers the whole lofty field of airmanship with the skill and the dignity it deserves."
Illustrated throughout with helpful charts and line drawings, The Proficient Pilot should be required reading for all who fly.

From the Back Cover:
Proficient Pilot contains a wealth of information published nowhere else: how to survive a crash landing, how to start a hot engine, how to use ground effect to an advantage, how to cope with an engine fire, how to ditch, and much more. Schiff disposes of popular misconceptions about flying in turbulence, coping with wind shear, and obtaining meaningful performance data. He shares his tricks of the trade for handling a variety of situations and emergencies. In the words of Ernest K Gann, "I recommend you heed Schiff's messages because they are written by a true aviator. He knows it. He has done it. And he is doing it".
