Wings of
Discovery by
Capt. Stacey
Chance
The same
pilot who has the free online
course also wrote a book that
is pretty helpful. It's a
fictional story of someone
faces his fear of flying and
beats it. He wants to
learn to fly ultralights and
his experiences with it as he
gets instruction from a former
airline mechanic and private
pilot. A good story with
helpful tidbits throughout that
explain maintenance schedules
of commercial planes, the ins
and outs of backup systems, and
basic flying tips. Many
questions that fearful flyers
have are answered throughout
this entertaining read. There
are bits of humor. Overall I
felt it really relaxed my mind
whenever I thought about
flying... I'm always so
stressed out initially just
thinking about flying but this
book lets you have fun with it.
Not a cold-hard-facts type of
book. Very non technical, told
in basic English.

Flying Without
Fear by
Duane Brown
I love this
book. For anyone looking for
more technical information,
more along the lines of the
hardcore facts and figures,
this book really helps. It
really helps those of us who
are white knuckle flyers. The
books details the hardcore
information in question/answer
format so it's easy to find the
specific information you want.
Topics include: The Airline
Industry, Pilots and Training,
Personnel Other Than Pilots,
Questions about Pilots,
Aerodynamics, Flight Planning
and the Flight Itself, Weather,
Turbulence, Terrorism and
Bombs, and Miscellaneous
Questions. Did you know the
death rate risk per flight is
one in eleven million and that
air travel is 20 times safer
than by car? True. A truly
wonderful book for those who
have a fear of
flying.
