Learn to think better when it matters most

Hoping that an emergency doesn’t happen to you isn’t a strategy. We created this book to show you just how much control you actually have.

Facing an actual in-flight emergency can be surreal. Sometimes pilots don’t hesitate and immediately fall back on their training. But often, gripped by fear, they’re reluctant to admit that an emergency is actually happening. Instead of addressing the situation, they waste precious time watching it unfold. What’s needed is a way for pilots to mentally practice and build a flexible response to any emergency.

Most books about handling in-flight emergencies focus on procedures. This book is different. In this manual, we group the nearly infinite number of emergency situations into 11 general categories, and present strategies you can use to handle those kinds of emergencies. The goal is to help you build a framework to address each kind of emergency more effectively.

This approach works because successfully resolving an emergency is a process you work through, not purely an exercise in memory recall and action. Memory items, flow patterns and checklists are only parts of the puzzle. You’ll learn the most effective mindset for approaching each type of emergency, no matter what specific actions you need to take (given the airplane you’re flying, your experience, and the exact situation you find yourself in).

A new way to hone your emergency skills

The manual is visually engaging, and structured to build a new way of thinking about emergencies. For each kind of emergency, you’ll learn the action steps to take and the key skills required. Tips and sidebars will expand your knowledge even further.

Example scenarios let you experience different kinds of emergencies. You’ll deepen your understanding of each strategy and the best steps to take. You’ll see similarities that will make variations in the real world easier to handle. By thinking through the example scenarios, you’ll be better prepared to manage your emergency situation to the safest possible outcome.

This manual is not just a rehash of what you’ll find in your POH. It’s meant to supplement the POH and what you already know. You’ll build a framework in which your existing emergency procedures can be even more effective—and the manual provides a template to help you do this. You’ll be better prepared to handle the emergencies you’ve already trained for—as well as ones you’ve never even thought about before.
