OverviewMost pilots earn their private certificate between 40 and 70 flight hours. They then leave their instructors behind and enter ""the killing zone"". The killing zone stretches ominously until about 250 flight hours, by which time the pilots who have survived have acquired enough experience, continued education and judgement to take off with some degree of confidence in landing safety. Just as the zone is identifiable, the causes of death therein are predictable. This work presents the predictable statistics of how many pilots in the zone will die within a year and what they will be doing when death occurs. Chapters outline the top eight killers and map strategies for avoiding, diverting, correcting and managing the dangers.
