The authors of Managing Risk: Best Practices for Aviation lay out 10 significant threats: runway incursions, midair collisions, aircraft icing, VFR into IMC, low-level wind shear, high altitude flight; night flying, visual illusions, spatial disorientation, and controlled flight into terrain. Each chapter examines illustrative (and usually high-profile) accidents, but Dale Wilson and Gerald Binnema also discuss the behavioral issues and other risk factors that cause these types of accidents every year. Published by ASA, Managing Risk: Best Practices for Aviation fulfills a portion of the new knowledge requirements that take effect for ATP applicants on August 1.
