Whether it's airline practices, the two-person cockpit crew, or just plain bad design, Captain Brian is all over it. He's particularly hard on the FAA, from a lot of different angles.
Once again Captain Brain Power-Waters had the courage to take on the FAA. I hope his effort is not in vain.
I thoroughly enjoyed Captain Power-Waters' latest book. Now the truth is out!
"Captain Brian Power-Waters has demonstrated once again that he is the Captain Courageous of the airways, telling it like it is about the enduring perils of commercial aviation, just as he has done in Safety Last and Margin For Error: None. When are the airline regulators going to listen to his warnings and avoid the needless loss of lives?
Captain Power-Waters style of writing makes it hard to put down this informative book. "Is It Safe" should be required reading for new hire airline pilots.
"Thank you for sending me a copy of Is It Safe? You obviously have done an extensive job researching this topic, and, more importantly, it is clear you have lived the issues.
I have known Captain Brian Power-Waters for many years and know that his dedication to research and finding the truth about 'How Things Really Work' makes any work on a book very respectable. He brings an understanding and appreciation of Air Traffic Control from two perspectives: As a pilot operating within the ATC system; and possesses a vast knowledge of the Air Traffic Controller's work inside the system.
This book covers everything you need to know about what really goes on in the air. A must-read for anyone flying!
If you are interested in the training and pressures that an airline captain must endure, if you think that the airline of your choice is flying safe aircraft, if you think the Federal Aviation Administration is totally interested in your safety, this is the book for you.Carl T.
