Sparky Imesons new book, Mountain Flying Bible, is not his original Mountain Flying book presented again in another form without substantial change or improvement. This new book is more informative and has twice the number of pages, being jam-packed with science, advice, illustrations and photos.
The Mountain Flying Bible has received enthusiastic reviews in Flight Training magazine, Flyer The Nations Aviation Newspaper, Private Pilot magazine, and Canadian AOPA.
F.E. Potts, author of the award-winning (Aviation/Space Writers Association, Award of Excellence) F.E. Potts Guide to Bush Flying, reviewed the new book and states:
"Over the many years I have been flying in Alaska the unforgiving nature of the weather and terrain has impressed on me one very important lesson: that flying is a thinking mans (or womans) game. Those who do not, or cannot think, but instead rely on quick reflexes of youth or basic physical skills, have a tendency not to survive for long.
"As a result, books by an experienced pro that explain the reasons why it is best to perform a maneuver one way rather than another, or describe in detail the thought processes behind various flight decisions, are, for me, the only ones of real value.
"It was therefore with considerable interest that I began to read Sparky Imesons new book, the Mountain Flying Bible Sparky has a reputation of being a thoughtful and careful pilot, as well as a highly skilled one, and I was curious to see what he had come up with.
"What he came up with is a book so good, so complete and detailed, so useful at all experience levels, that I found myself wishing I had it when I started my bush flying career in Alaska back in the early 1960s.
"This is not so say that this book has value only to mountain pilots, for that is not the case. This book is one of those that all pilots can learn from (just as it deepened my understanding in many areas), and should be part of every serious pilots reference library. It is, in all likelihood, the best aviation book written in recent years that focuses on light aircraft. Certainly it is the most useful. I recommend it without reservation." F.E. Potts
