Book title : "Fly the Wild and Stay Alive, A Bush Flight Training
Manual" by Hal Terry
255 pages, paper bound
Chapters.
 | Honing the required skills and attitudes |
| The plane, prop, engine, and undercarriage |
| Planning your wilderness flights |
| Riding the weather and avoiding hard knocks |
| Before landing plan takeoff and landing |
| Look / see final approaches |
| Securing your airplane/taking off |
| Wilderness survey pilot procedures and techniques |
| Survival flying in extreme conditions |
This book is centered on flying in Alaska, however, it applies specifically
to many natural resource operations. Several of the chapters are devoted to aerial survey techniques, radio telemetry, dealing with observers and
safety.
I thought that it would be a good read for IANRP members as well as aspiring
natural resource pilots because it is quite technical. However, it is geared
somewhat toward the private pilot audience.
It does make you think in several areas though.
