Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Editor and publisher of AOPA Pilot and author of eight previous books, Collins here presents random observations on how a pilot can achieve the perfect flight. Having flown more than 200 different types of planes, he offers advice on handling single-engine, dual-engine and jet aircraft, as well as making generally applicable observations. He believes that the pilot must have nothing on his mind but the flight at hand, that even a small intake of alcohol or drugs can affect a pilot adversely, and that the flier should know both the abilities and the limitations of his plane; above all, pilots should be respectful of the weather, never venturing aloft if the predictions are dire. It is difficult to see, however, how the book will appeal to anyone who is not a flier; lay readers will find some of the jargon incomprehensible.

Good book - flawed Kindle conversion a bit distracting to read, Oct 10 2010
By D. Hampton - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
With a new IFR "ticket" in my pocket I am trying to read everything Ican get my hands on from those with more experience than myself.
I have previous enjoyed Richard Collin's articles as well as his videos from Sporty's.
I don't want to be too harsh as it's good to get as many books converted to the
Kindle as possible.
But in it's present form "The Perfect Flight" it is a bit distracting to read.
There are numerous errors where words are hyphenated when not needed.
It must have happen during the conversion process.
Like activ-ity, Chal-lenges, transporta-tion. These were all on one page.
There are typically 3 - 5 of these errors per page.
(I am not referring to the other hyphenation as presented in the hardcover book.)
Listmania!
