Aviation safety is often a matter of learning from those who flew before us. In "The Killing Zone: How & Why Pilots Die," Paul A. Craig provides a sobering and essential look at the statistical dangers facing pilots today. The book focuses specifically on the critical window of experience, the first few hundred hours after earning a certificate—where a pilot's confidence often outpaces their actual skill level.

By analyzing NTSB crash data, Craig identifies the common denominators in pilot-error accidents, from fuel mismanagement to the dangers of VFR flight into IMC. This book doesn't just list statistics; it tells the stories behind the data to help you develop the superior judgment required for a lifetime of safe flying. Whether you are a student pilot just starting your journey or an experienced aviator looking to sharpen your risk management skills, "The Killing Zone" is a vital addition to your flight training library.
