Unusual Attitudes


Book Description

"Captain Ed" (Edwin D. Armbruster) lived a fascinating life as he flew thousands of hours over the jungles of Panama and the Caribbean in single engine planes. Over seven hundred students called him their instructor as he piloted them from Atlantic to Pacific over and along the Panama Canal, through Panama, Central and South America. Beginning with the halcyon days of Canal Zone life and navigating more troubled times as the drug wars escalated, adventure calls on every page. As exciting and spell-binding as the tropical background is beautiful, "Captain Ed" regales and inspires with his stories of crashes and near-misses, student antics, hair-raising escapes and unusual friendships, all as the glory days of the Panama Canal slowly faded into memory. For those who fly and those who long to fly --- this book soars with adventure.




Airline Transport Pilot Practical Test Standards Explained For Elite Performance


Book Description

Every year thousands of pilots take a practical test for the Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) Certificate. Most of these pilots don’t understand the ATP PTS and risk the chance of failure. A failure of a practical test for a pilot certificate is something that a pilot will have to explain for the rest of their career. One question that has almost a 100% chance of being asked during an interview is “have you ever failed a checkride?” This book will help you say no to that question! Would you know if the examiner asked a question that is not within the guidelines of the ATP PTS? This happens and this book will help you understand what questions the examiner is allowed to ask. Do you understand what is expected on each task? You should because pilots have failed practical tests because they or the examiner did not understand the ATP PTS well enough. This book will help any pilot prepare and be more confident for the ATP/Type Practical Test. Understanding the ATP PTS will save an immense amount of time by allowing a pilot to focus on the information that really matters. You will only have one time to pass your ATP/Type Practical Test the first time. Pass and never have to explain. Fail and there will always be a chance of having to explain why. This book provides the information needed for success.
