From The Back Cover:

The only segment of aviation that currently has a rising accident trend is general aviation. GA is also the only segment that does not emphasize being "in command." Instead, GA training has traditionally focused on rote execution of flight maneuvers. New studies reveal a proactive approach to general aviation flight operations successfully improves general aviation accident odds. Based on FAA-mandated pilot-in-command authority and responsibility for flight safety and operations, Pilots in Command: Strategic Action Plan for Reducing "Pilot Error" provides private pilots a how-to guide to cockpit decision making. Using a step-by-step model, pilots discover how to use available tools to avoid pilot error. The book also identifies inherent pilot habits commonly practiced by general aviation pilots and presents methods for self-retraining to eliminate the problematic behaviors. General Aviation training is changing to meet the facts of rising accident trends and subsequent investigation into its origins and prevention. The strategies Craig presents in Pilot in Command are developed from FAA-participated research and continued review. It is effective decision making that produces effective flight, and Craig expertly weds the two in a hands-on approach pilots can apply every time they fly.

Reader Review
This review is from: Pilot in Command (Tab Practical Flying S) (Kindle Edition) The most important lesson I learned as a student pilot long ago was the concept of being "pilot in command". If you're in the left seat and off the ground, you're responsible for the lives of everyone on board. The pilot of a Cessna 150 has to realize that he has just as much authority as the captain of a 777. This book reinforces the rights and responsibilities each pilot must understand. Pilot in Command. As the King school motto goes: Takeoffs are optional. Landings are mandatory.
