New Book Announcement

[Buster1]

Hey guys.

I am excited to make an announcement to make to the community. I am just about complete with an eBook that I think you might find interesting.

The Book is titled Engine Out Survival Tactics, and it is about how to safely recover from an engine loss event in your GA single. It is written from the Fighter Pilot perspective and parallels the ways in which we train for emergencies and engine loss in fighters, with how we can do that (better) in our GA singles.

If you want to become an Advanced Pilot with regard to engine loss recoveries, glide ratios, Critical Action Procedures, and training for that unfortunate event, this is the book for you. CFIs, you can up your game with this training.

I also have some guest speakers in the book who will detail their real-world engine loss events and what they learned!

The book is not quite ready, but I ask you to check out my webpage (and sign up for info, newsletters, promos), and also my Facebook page and "like" my Facebook page. This will enable you to keep "up to date" on new developments and the final release for the book as well. The eBook will be available in most major eBook retailers hopefully in a few months. (Nook, Kindle, iPad).  I am also looking into doing it as a print book as well.

Thank you for your consideration and support. I believe this book has what it takes to take your engine loss training and knowledge to the next level!

Now it's working! Thanks for the heads up, sorry 'bout that guys.

I signed up for the mailing list...looks like an interesting book.

Thanks Jeff!  I discuss all sorts of GA singles including the venerable Mooney.  I honestly think it will prepare you for the day you need these tactics (hopefully never), and will give you a starting point to begin some self-paced training for the engine out situation.

I'm also looking into some promotions (discounts, free books, etc) for various supporters and such, let me know if you guys have any good ideas!

Thanks for checking it out guys!

Aside from what to do when the engine is out I would add how to asses engine health on the ground and in-flight. Many engine failures happens during takeoff (high power engine stress) were there is little altitude for pilot options, there is no ejection seat on Mooneys.

Jose,

That is a stellar idea! Thank You! I have a few items about something similar, but I really like that idea and will look to include it, and expound on it.

Trust me, the idea that we don't have an ejection seat in our GA birds (I own a bonanza) is well covered and hopefully conveyed in the book.  That is why we need these tactics for our GA singles!

thanks!

I look forward to doing some reading... Especially if there is some Long Body Mooney tactics covered. (Heavier than the other Mooneys sharing the same wing)

Best regards,

Unfortunately there are no long body tactics covered. Sorry. However, if you know your glide ratio and are open to a few flight training sessions you will have what you need to "arm" yourself with the skills to help you in an engine loss situation. I cover some Bonanza numbers, but all of the tactics are valid for any GA single, and I'll show you how to test and train in your bird too.

Thanks for the kind words and interest in the book!

I am also having a phone meeting today with George Braly of APS, for some words and info that will be going into the final draft of the manuscript!
