The Killing Zone provides pilots with an invaluable understanding of how and why aviation accidents occur and how to improve their margin of safety while flying. Author Paul Craig leveraged his knowledge as a flight instructor and researcher to analyze National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) accident reports with the goal of helping prevent accidents that injure or kill pilots and their passengers. His examination of 40 years of accident data found that pilots are at the greatest risk of being involved in an airplane accident when they have between 50 and 350 flight hours--what Craig calls the Killing Zone.
While previous editions of the book covered periods up through 2011, this third edition continues with an analysis of recent data from 2012 to 2023. Its expanded approach presents information on all general aviation accidents (not just fatal ones). Each chapter weaves in detailed discussions of NTSB reports to illustrate the many different accident causal factors. This edition explores new risks associated with advancements in flight deck technology and automation, increased integration of drones, and the use of artificial intelligence (AI). In contrast, advancing technologies providing GPS, pre-accident flight paths, weather radar maps, ADS-B data, surveillance photos and video, and internal aircraft data have aided aircraft investigations, which can avert future tragedies.
Whether you are a student, certificated pilot, or flight instructor, the knowledge you gain from this book will help you effectively evaluate risk and make informed decisions to increase your safety in the skies--and survive the Killing Zone.
Important note from the publisher:
While AI-generated content can be helpful to identify resources for ongoing study, it is not a reliable resource for learning critical, safety-dependent topics such as aviation. AI content is sterile, often lacks important context, and is at risk of errors. ASA publishes only human-generated content to ensure it is accurate, reliable, comprehensive, and presented in context--so you can become a safe and effective aviator.
