Flight at Lower Levels — Safety Through Awareness is the first book to address the problems of aircraft flight at levels close to ground. John Freeman, who has spent most of his career in low-level flight, writes for general aviation pilots. He reminds us that most accidents are caused by collision with the ground or objects on the ground and promotes safety through awareness of the pitfalls of lower-level flight. 100 pages.

"This book has been long in coming and gives a qualified insight into the hazards you must be aware of during low-level flight." — Chris Sperou, display pilot and Australian Aerobatic Champion.

Flight at Lower Levels — Safety in the Circuit by John Freeman. This "plane" language guide to landing techniques is for those who are ready to move beyond the boundaries of "sanitized" flying. After learning to fly from secondary fields, where there's a bit more room for landing and take-off errors, it's time to learn safety through precision. 86 pages.

"This book projects the knowledge gleaned over many years by a highly experienced pilot with first-hand experience in operating in and out of marginal landing areas." — Chris Sperou, display pilot and Australian Aerobatic Champion.

Trial Instructional Flight — Your First Flight by David Robson. Your first flight (other than as a passenger!) is very important, shaping the way you feel about flying, and whether you'll continue to train to become a pilot. You'll enjoy that first flight more by being better prepared, and this book will help you understand what's happening and why it's happening. Then reading it again will help you prepare for your next lesson.

If you have a friend or relative who's always wanted to fly, this book is a perfect way to help get them started. 68 pages.

In Safe Hands — The How and Why of Airline Travel by David Robson. A common-sense discussion of commercial air travel, especially for those who have any anxiety when they board an airliner. Also useful as a reference for cabin crew who are asked by nervous passengers to explain what's happening on a flight. This book explains all those "things that go 'bump' in the flight".

A great gift for anyone you know who worries about airline travel. They'll be able to rest assured that it's the safest form of long-distance travel and sit back and enjoy the inflight service! 96 pages.

Three Points — Flying a Tailwheel Aircraft by David Robson. During World War II, heavier payloads and longer runways led to the adoption of the nosewheel configuration for most aircraft. Before that, tailwheels were standard, and that's still called the "conventional" undercarriage.

The tailwheel configuration is lighter, simpler, offers less drag and is better suited to rough-field operations. But it does place extra demands on a pilot during takeoff and landing, especially in strong winds. This book will introduce you to both the pressures and the pleasures of flying a tail-dragger! 200 pages.
