diversion?,the less shy ones will probablyraise their hands,while most of us will have a look of confusion on our faces.What isan in-flight diversion,and why is there so much mystery behind it?.An in-flightdiversion is often the one aspect of flight training that has often been neglected andrarely put into practice.Being human,we fear what we know very little about.As aninstructor and line pilot,an in-flight diversion situation often offers a rare glimpse intohuman emotions.Panic sets in,the heart thumbs,the knuckles turn white and there isthat silly look of confusion on the face.I have observed this in both students andexperienced Captains.Luckily the GPS is often there to save the day.But what if thereis no GPS available,or worse still we do not know how to use the one we have?.Thishas been the downfall of technology meant to help us.It has compromised our abilityto plan in unexpected situations.  \nThis book chucks out the fancy technology and arms you with the skills to planand execute a successful diversion,with confidence and suave.Basic to advancedaspects of a diversion are all covered,from the 1 in 60 rule to more advancedtechniques such as the wind triangle,max drift,fuel planning,point of equal time,pointof no return and point of no alternate,etc.  \nWhether you are a student or a professional pilot the techniques discussed inthis book will make you a better and more professional pilot.From light piston to fastjet flying,these are definitely skills that will make your flying safer,easier and morefun even your colleagues will be impressed.  \nI trust you will enjoyJohn Nghiwete  \n-","cbCaimvJlkFGdFR6","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimvJlkFGdFR6","pdf",2332858,64,"English","# Introduction\n# The In-flight Diversion Handbook\n#
