PRAISE FOR YIKES!…

“I read this book, cover to cover, in one sitting. It spoke to me in a little voice that said, ‘Remember when that was us?’ JJ writes beautifully about the places every professional pilot of enough experience has been. If you want to be prepared before you go there, read this book.”
–Hans Yao, 737 Captain, Southwest Airlines

“I find that your book really contributes to Aeronautical Decision-Making in the most effective way. Thank you for such a thoughtful book!”
–James Aaron Modeste, FAA Part 141 Chief Flight Instructor

“Pilots love to tell stories. Some of the best stories are when they tell on themselves. YIKES!…is a collection of the best of the best of those stories–thrilling, scary and flat out funny. YIKES!…is a page-turner, filled with stories that teach other pilots how to become better pilots and non-pilots just how hard it is to become a great pilot. ”

–Ben Pegram, CRJ Captain, PSA Airlines

YIKES! 100 Smart Pilots and the Dumb Things They Did Yet Lived to Tell About 'Em

The stories in YIKES!… are true, taken from NASA reports—the FAA’s Aviation Safety Reporting System database—where pilots voluntarily and anonymously share their moments of bad judgment with the rest of us.

• Combining humor with insightful analysis, I examined their stories in my General Aviation News column, “Human Factors.”
• The chapters in YIKES!… are curated from my column.
• YIKES!… is humorous-yet-educational, entertaining-yet-inspirational for pilots and non-pilots alike.
