John Stewart (5) (1945–)

book brings an air traffic controller's perspective to the mistakes pilots commonly make in controlled airspace. Veteran controller John Stewart has spent years observing pilots display their lack of education, lack of flight preparation, inability to communicate effectively, ignorance of resistance to regulations, & other dangerous flaws. This book is his attempt to help pilots fly more safely in controlled airspace & to introduce them to new & coming air traffic control technology.

This book was a great introduction to the world of ATC, how controllers see traffic, and how they interact with pilots. Good tips on how to help controllers help you (and how not to seem like a fool). My only complaint is that it's out of date (it predates the switch to Class A,B,C,D,E,G airspace), which detracts from a few chapters. The author notes that the book will need to be updated "soon", but this apparently never happened.
