Aviation Survival A Practical Guide to Surmounting Crash and Post Crash Perils

Aviation Survival: A Practical Guide to Surmounting Crash and Post Crash Perils, is a tool to help pilots, owners, operators, and pilots do just that. It combines elements of a carefully compiled gear guide alongside actionable techniques, thoughtful opinion, and insightful hacks or tips to help the reader save time and energy when faced with new and uncertain circumstances.
Fundamentally, the book addresses the best ways prepare for, and deal with the immediate aftermath of an off airport landing, or aircraft accident. The majority of tools in the gear guide are modern but affordable items adapted from the outdoor industry while some of the equipment is highly specialized. The focus of the book is largely on wilderness survival as it applies to the unique realities of flight. It will appeal to users who fly the backcountry, or who fly over the backcountry on a routine basis. A number of different operating environments are discussed from deserts, to the extreme cold of arctic or high altitude environments, mountains (such as the Rockies), and overwater flight. The book isn't limited to those extremes however, as many of the same tools and lessons apply in areas which have little semblance to wilderness such as the forests and pastures of suburban Mid-Atlantic America or the cornfields of the midwest.
The ideals and principles are straightforward, impactful, and at times in your face while still including plenty of nuanced examples. Care has been taken to reduce the academic demands of reading the book by minimizing the amount of additional study necessary to implement lifesaving tactics regardless of the skill level of the reader. With that said, the book does include a well stocked appendix with recommendations for additional reading, self study, and activities that can help the reader better prepare for the realities of not just surviving an aircraft accident, but continuing to survive in it's aftermath while awaiting rescue.
This book contains valuable information and delivers an exciting read regardless of whether you already fly the backcountry routinely, are an airline captain, student pilot, flight nurse, military helicopter pilot, outfitter, aerial photographer, search and rescue technician, or are a frequent flier because of work or play. Some people with a fear of flying, particularly a fear of small airplanes and helicopters may find this book to be a useful tool in learning some facts and confronting that fear head on.
The lessons are certainly not limited to aviation user groups. Since the book covers many basic and advanced tenets of wilderness survival, it can be expected to offer valuable insight for anyone who plays or works outside. Hikers, hunters, fishermen, law enforcement, photographers, park rangers, cyclists, emergency medical personnel, climbers, firefighters, skiers, and boaters should all find elements of the book that add value to their ability to respond to a challenging scenario.
