"There are always two systems out there-air traffic control and weather -and the responsibility and the challenge come from fitting the airplane into both of them as smoothly as possible."

In his new edition of Mastering the Systems, author Richard Collins reveals how to work air traffic control and weather services to maximum advantage. The emphasis is on judgment and the interface between pilot and environment, addressing both VFR and IFR situations from flight planning on through to arrival, approach, and landing. Collins encourages all pilots to self-critique their performance, with an example of his own flight analysis. A basic weather course is provided to teach you how to read the signs:

  • What kind of weather breeds the labels from which flight decisions are based: VFR, IFR, MVFR, CVFR (continued VFR).
  • How do you glean the necessary information during preflight, analyze the conditions experienced in flight, and calculate your own forecast based on new information?
  • When does it makes sense to fly above the cloud deck, and when should you try to stay down below?
  • Do you want peace and quiet? Do you want maximum assistance from the system your tax dollars established? Do you want ATC to simply keep others out of your way? Collins teaches you how to use air traffic control to your benefit, whether flying VFR or IFR.

    Collins explains the factors pilots need to consider when making these decisions, supplementing with examples from personal experience and accident reports. He lays all the factors on the table so they have enough information to develop individual pilot and airplane limitations. Pilots will learn exactly what they can and should ask of ATC to help them out of a mess. Softcover, indexed, 172 pages.
