Clearer Horizons
This book is designed to turn your flying licence into one of the most rewarding investments you have ever made. It is for the pilot whose logbook is beginning to show longer and longer gaps between flights, or where the ‘From’ and ‘To’ columns are gradually being filled up with ditto marks. It is for the owner who finds that dandelions and long grass have grown tall enough to hide the main wheels each time he or she returns to the aircraft.
It is for the pilot whose left shoe soles wear out before the right ones and whose rudder leans permanently to the left from constantly flying boring left-hand circuits and bumps.
It is for the pilot who is beginning to feel a bit like a tennis ball, always flying to and fro along the same unadventurous route between the same two familiar airfields.

Clearer Horizons offers a better use of your precious pilot’s licence. It shows how your flying can be both rewarding and motivating and it tackles the challenges and opportunities that await any pilot who wants to progress beyond their basic skills.

“The greatest danger that lies in wait for most pilots is not engine failure, fire in the air, flight into bad weather or any of the other emergencies your instructor taught you to cope with. Quite simply, it is boredom. After the first flush of excitement and enthusiasm it is all too easy to find the local scenery from the air getting boring; flying solo gets boring too; the snacks in the ‘greasy spoons’ of the few easily-accessible local airfields soon begin to taste even more boring; emergencies never seem to occur and you don’t now have an instructor sitting there beside you ready to spring nasty surprises on you.”
