Synopsis

Ocean Flying - 2nd Edition, by Louise Sacchi, is a solidly authoritative volume that provides practical guidance on every aspect of ocean flying in general aviation planes.

Many factors make ocean flying a brand new game even for experienced pilots. Long-range navigation suing unfamiliar radio aids...the care and preparation of your airplane for long distance nonstop flight...weather forecasting over vast stretches of water...alternatives for action when surprises occur are just a few. This book covers them all, plus techniques for compensating for compass vagaries...maintaining a healthy metal attitude while fling...stocking up for emergencies...and preparing papers required by foreign governments for you and for your plane.

Navigation methods are given particular emphasis in this completely updated second edition. Discussed in detail are using Loran C, satellite navigation, ADF's, dead reckoning, minimal time tracks, and single drift flights.

This book also captures all the adventure and wonder of ocean flight. Along with invaluable technical expertise, Sacchi shares fascinating experiences of seeing ice floes moving out of the Greenlands fjords in summer...the World War II Japanese caves on Saipan...a new volcano emerging on the Vestmann Islands...and more. Anyone interested in transoceanic flight or ferry piloting Australia - or anywhere across the oceans!

Louise Sacchi has flown general aviation aircraft across oceans to Europe, Africa, Australia, and Asia since 1939 as president and chief pilot of Sacchi Air Ferry Enterprises.
