101 Lessons From The Sky contains a collection of 101 true stories from commercial pilots, including what they learnt from their accidents and near misses. 101 stories from around the globe, from the Commercial Aviation community on their own near misses and learnings.

All 101 stories have been selected and republished with permission from NASA, CASA and CHIRP, and include first hand pilot reports about aviation incidents from the USA, Australia and the United Kingdom.

101 lessons about airline checklists, complacency, maintenance issues, poor load planning, limitations with dipsticks and fatigue, and dozens more easy to read true accounts of potentially catastrophic incidents narrowly averted. And the lessons the pilots, the cabin crew, the ground crew, the engineers, and the co-pilots learnt. And the airline companies and air cargo companies…

Each story is short and and written in the voice of the pilot who lived to report back. You'll recognise the names of the aircraft, and you may have even landed at the airfields mentioned in these pages. Aircraft like the Boeing 737, and the 767, the Beech 99, the A320, the Learjet and Gulfstream, and others.
