Additional information
by Enderson Rafael (Author)
Robert Goyer, writing for Flying Magazine years ago, has worked some math over it and concluded that the fatality rate per mile was something around twenty-four times higher in general aviation than in the airlines. Twenty-four times. This means you are twelve times more likely to die in a GA aircraft than in the car that took you to the airport. We must do something about it, and this book is part of that effort. And that is why it is both related to a student pilot or a seasoned long-haul captain. To bring them together, so they can share experiences and impressions. With this reading, you will find quick ways to fly efficiently while preserving safety as your highest value. Because there is no point in flying if you will not arrive at all. About the author: Enderson Rafael was born in Florianópolis, Brazil, in 1980. He graduated in Advertising at the ESPM-Rio and worked as a copywriter for several years before joining aviation as a cabin crew, in 2005, for one of the main airlines in South America. In 2012, he decided to pursuit his childish dream and got his Private, Instrument and Commercial licenses in Florida, United States, and has been studying flight safety and writing about it for more than fifteen years, with investigation courses in Embry-Riddle and CENIPA. In 2015 he started flying for the airlines, and today he is an ATP based in the Middle East. Having written over a hundred safety and technical articles to aviation websites in Brazil, Europe and US, he has three novels and two non-fictional books published, two of them related to aviation. This is his third.
