With 40 years’ experience and more than 7,000 hours of flight time as a general aviation pilot, Bob Worthington compiles his extensive aviation knowledge to share with those who want to become pilots, student pilots, and professional pilots. As an aviation psychologist, aviation journalist, and owner of nine different airplanes, Worthington provides the reader with access to many aspects of aviation. This book begins with an introduction to aviation, continues through flight training, and introduces the reader to aviation organizations and how they can benefit pilots. How to buy an airplane, maintain it, and have it become a business deduction for taxes is also covered alongside emergency and survival tips. The book ends with a section on aging aviators and how one can continue to fly safely in their 70s and 80s.
