Whenever a pilot remarks to Dick Collins about his being a high-time pilot, Collins responds, “It’s only the next hour that counts.”
That answer was the impetus behind Collins’ latest book, an all-new collection of Collins’ wisdom and personal insights learned from his lifetime of flying general aviation airplanes. The Next Hour is written to help pilots understand and manage the risks inherent in flying.
“Pilots don’t crash airplanes because they want to,” says Collins, but even experienced pilots do. The Next Hour is full of real-life tips to ensure your next hour is a safe one, such as the three-word emergency checklist every pilot should know. He also explores why some airplane types have poor accident records, and why a pilot’s thought processes matter more than experience.
In the one year since Collins retired from full-time writing at FLYING magazine, he has devoted himself to writing The Next Hour. This book, in conjunction with Collins’ Air Facts™ video series, constitute the most complete risk management and flying technique library available for general aviation pilots.
Any pilot, no matter what the experience level, will benefit from Collins’ counsel. And those who have followed his writing over the years or watched him in video programs will be treated to a thorough explanation, with deep personal insights, as to why he decided to stop flying.
The Next Hour [M459A] is approximately 190 pages and is soft cover. The book is available for $24.95 exclusively from Sporty’s. Sporty’s Air Facts Video Series along with The Next Hour [B2457A] are available as a special combination for $125.00.
