Recensioner i media

This is not a reading book but one to refer to. It gives excellent guidelines to various problems and conditions. It covers the broad spectrum of our speciality from the ground to outer space. It is not a book to use to make a diagnosis but, if the diagnosis is known, then, it explains, in a brief format, what to do to get a pilot back to flying duties and what medication is permitted. It lists what the aviation regulations are and what an aviation medical examiner does. There are also good instructions and checklists on how to get a passenger/casualty, very ill or otherwise, flown safely back to a full medical facility. The explanations are precise and in a format that will help anyone remember them for future use and reference.Dr Ian PerryFRAeSThe Royal Aeronautical Society
