In Takeoffs & Landings, tecniques are explained such as how to use the airplane's "gravity engine" for extra power, how to cope with sink, gradient wind, wind shear and more. Emphasis is on stall/spin avoidance and the inherent risks of fluing low and slow. Here you will find not only one, but five different ways of touching down: not two, but three ways of landing crosswind: and an excellent description of a light twin on takeoff with one engine out. Then Collins provides a complete account, from takeoff roll to full stop, of a perfect flight and how a really good landing is concocted.
