Examines and recreates the fateful events of an expert pilots crash off Cape CodReveals the hidden dangers of flight that challenge even the most skilled pilotsDelivers a gripping narrative that puts the reader in the cockpit of a plane that faces imminent disasterOn Friday, October 9, 1998, Ron Sinzheimer left his downtown Albany law office and drove to the airport. Once there, he loaded a weekend bag, a few household items, and the family dog into the back of his singleengine Grumman Traveler airplane. He took off to join his wife for a weekend at the family vacation home on Cape Cod. The weather report had not been promising, but Sinzheimer, an experienced pilot, had flown this route many times and felt confident that he could make the twohour flight to Provincetown despite the ominous forecast. He never arrived.In Pilot Error, Phaedra Hise delivers a brilliant and lucid account of this true story. She follows the Coast Guards daring searchandrescue attempt, draws insight from her own experience as a pilot, analyzes what was uncovered by the National Transportation Safety Board investigation, interviews other pilots who are all too familiar with the hazardous flying conditions off Cape Cod, and talks with friends and family members of the victim. This book reveals how even a welltrained pilot can easily slip into trouble, with one seemingly insignificant mistake leading to another and setting off a deadly chain of events.
