Inside Leighton Collins' Head Without Surgery, No Less Rivegauche610 I kind of feel like I am at a table in the bar next to Collins' who is regaling advanced students with wisdom rather than imparting it through a book for low-timers like me. That doesn't mean it is bad - on the contrary, these are pearls of accumulated wisdom from one of the greatest aviators ever. He just writes for an audience with much prior knowledge and that is logical since it i. Valuable Information, Well Written David G. Finley Without exception, every pilot should read Langewiesche's Stick and Rudder. This book should be the next one to read after that. Langewiesche and Collins were friends, and Collins wrote this long after Stick and Rudder had become a classic. He produced an excellent follow-on work that both reinforces the lessons of Stick and Rudder and expands them. This book covers real-world flying . James Logajan said Great book on an important topic. Does a good job of covering the factors that affect the phases of flight where the most accidents happen: landings and takeoffs.Covers aircraft characteristics that affect these phases, such as:nose wheel swivel steering,hydraulic steering,kinds of linkages between rudder and pedals,kinds of linkages sometimes found between rudder and ailerons,and so on - and how they affect taxiing,
