The SAS Survival Handbook
This is a must read for everyone but especially
Pilots. In my opinion, the PIC should be prepared for any situation and
survival after an off airport landing is one of them. The author, John
Wiseman, served for 26 years with the Special Air Service (SAS). His book
is their complete course on how to survive outdoors, on land or sea, in any
weather, in any part of the world. He covers every aspect from how to get
prepaired (equipment, etc), to Strategy, food, rescue and just about everything
else you'll need to survive... He even has a chapter on post air crash. ;)
Desert Survival Skills
I've purchased this book but haven't had a chance to read it yet. It
looks pretty good.
Flying Safely,
by Richard L. Collins
This is quoted as the standard book on flying as safely as
possible. Richard "Dick" Collins is well known author for Flying
magazine. I personally liked this book because it looked at the situation
objectively with statistics as well as Dick's personal vantage point. One of the
key walk aways for me was the idea of looking at "trends".
Trends don't apply to just weather
but it can apply to other things as well.
Bax Seat : Log of a Pasture Pilot,
by Gorden Baxter
Gorden Baxter was one of my favorite authors at Flying Magazine,
I will truly miss him. If you have a love and a passion for flying and enjoyed
his column in Flying, Bax Seat, then you will love this. It is a
compendium of those stories as well as his memories of writing for Flying
magazine and owning his own airplane. Bax is poetry about flying. He
brings to life the smell, the texture of the airplane and the sensation of
flight.
