Flying the Weather Map
Written for pilots who want to improve their flight weather forecasting skills, this manual provides an in-theory and logic of aviation weathercasting and an analysis of 46 instrument flight rules (IFR) cross-country airplane in all seasons. Each flight episode is illustrated with pre-takeoff upper-level and surface weather chart, which clearly traces the progress of the flight and the actual in-flight weather conditions.
The Perfect Flight
There is much more to flying than just manual skills -- and therein lies the fun. In a book filled with anecdotal information and sound advice, Collins encourages pilots at all levels to strive for excellence in every phase of flight, to ensure a safer and more enjoyable experience.
Air Crashes
These examinations of aviation accident scenes teach pilots to understand why airplanes crash and to learn from past mistakes and avoid repeating them.

Tips to Fly By
Organized into the natural progression of a flight, this is a compendium of tips on virtually every aspect of piloting an aircraft, including ground work, takeoff and initial climb, enroute climb and cruise, and descent and landing. Advice is offered on such advanced flight topics as flying high-performance singles and twins, dealing with emergencies, and operating at busy airports.

Takeoffs and Landings
Back in print with a new design, this guide includes instruction on the basics of takeoffs and landings, the realities of flying into and out of an airport, and the functions of the throttle, stick, rudder, and trim. A pilot's pilot, Collins provides a complete and coherent account, from takeoff roll to full stop, of a perfect flight and landing; identifying many common errors pilots make along the way. In addition to extracting from his own lengthy career and personal experience, Collins shares tips and secrets he learned by observing airline pilots, reading military manuals, attending manufacturer's flight training programs, and interviewing some of aviation's most famous thinkers and figures.
Instrument Flying Refresher
In this unique and instructive book, veteran IFR pilot Richard L. Collins takes the right seat beside Patrick E. Bradley to demonstrate effective ways to grasp and solve IFR problems and eliminate uncertainties that may plague even current IFR airmen. Bradley, a relatively new IFR pilot, discusses the concerns and errors he has shared with most instrument fliers who are new or rusty. Collins then applies his own experiences and methods, including some lessons learned the hard way, and carefully examines airline and general aviation accidents to point out how threatening situations can be avoided or safely confronted. IFR is a thinking game, and the authors emphasize ways of avoiding mental l...
