Career flying is an uptight, stressful occupation. Laymen have little conception of the pressures under which a professional works. His work is regulated to the point of absurdity by non flying management and federal officials who pretend to understand flying better than he does. He carries a thick book of rules so confusing even its authors can’t explain them. In effect, a committee of deskbound experts ride with him on every trip, instructing, admonishing, warning, watching – until there’s a problem. Then all fingers are pointed at him.

This site provides access to a wealth of interesting material created by AA Productions over the years.

Some of the subjects which I consider are better printed out are published as standalone files in Adobe Acrobat PDF format. You will therefore need to have the free Adobe Reader installed on your computer. (If you don't have Adobe Reader, download it from Adobe).

After you have installed Adobe Reader, print any of the PDF files on this site by clicking on the document link to invoke the Acrobat Reader, then click the Adobe Reader Print icon.

To save the file, right click on the link and then click either in Netscape: Save Link As... or in Internet Explorer: Save Target As...
