“James,
I teach in the Texins Flying Club in McKinney, Texas and
we have about twelve active instructors
as well as another flying club on the
field. I've
reviewed the "Biennial
Flight Review Flash Cards" and I like what I see. I've also read the
excerpts from your book "Piloting
with Confidence" and
there is a wealth of practical information
for the new pilot as well as the experienced. I'll
be ordering that one as well. Of course,
as you know, a good pilot is always learning. I've
been a pilot for over 30 years, flying freight,
commuter airlines, a corporate Lear Jet and actively
instructing over 20 years. So I'm always
on the lookout for a better way
to teach my students. I
will pass on the word to my fellow instructors
about your flash cards as well
as your book.”

“While
piloting aircraft, we
must constantly prioritize and update the information
we are receiving from our instruments and senses. Unfortunately,
most of us do not fly as many hours as we would like
to. Piloting with Confidence is
a great aid in helping us establish behavior
and routines for safe
flight and allowing us to better enjoy the experience
itself.”

“Looking for a book filled with good tips to
start your own checklists, get organized, get solid
basic information on GPS navigation? In Piloting
with Confidence James Spudich has compiled a series of good
tools put to the test throughout many years of experience
that will allow you to fully enjoy your flying experience
and help make you a safer pilot.”

“This is a concise and easy to digest treatment
of those critical aspects associated with safe and effective
flying. It is loaded with helpful hints, suggestions
and useful templates. Finally you can design your own
checklists and create your personal weight and balance
calculators in a matter of minutes. A must for all serious
GA pilots!”

“CHECKLISTS, CHARTS EXAMINED IN 'PILOTING
WITH CONFIDENCE'
James Spudich has published Piloting with Confidence, an instructional
book for students and pilots with an interest in developing a more in-depth
checklist protocol for their airplanes, as well as a greater understanding
of procedures in general. It features a good, thorough process for creating
your own checklist and explains in great detail why you do some of the things
you do in the airplane. There are also some solid tips on flying with the Garmin
GNS 430 and 530 and the Garmin GPSMap 196 handheld GPS receiver.”
