“Phil Croucher has approached the complex and intricate subject of becoming a professional pilot in a readable colloquial style.” Christopher Orlebar, MRAeS, Aerospace magazine.
“…should have appeared 20 years ago. It would have saved many prospective pilots lots of anguish and budding Air Taxi Operators lots of money…there is much useful technical information, making the book suitable reference material for most pilots, from airline to PPL instructor, including helicopter pilots…easy reading, even when it comes to weighty matters such as air and company law… in a style that actually makes it worth reading… performance made easy…” Mike Richards, Flyer magazine.
Here’s what they say about it now…..
"...an intriguingly cynical attitude
towards the official documentation which
he tries, in this chunky book, to turn
into something the average pilot has a
chance of understanding. He makes a
pretty good job of this task too.
……witty yet professional publication."
James Allen, Pilot Magazine.
Aside from passing on a few tricks of the trade, it’s a commentary on Operations Manuals, since they never seem to be written in English. It covers the Joint Airworthiness Requirements, as well as containing information on setting up your own company, Legal Stuff, writing your own Ops Manual, and more!

The BIOS Companion
A book that deals with all those secret settings in your computer’s BIOS, plus tons of data for troubleshooters.
I already had about HALF of the information, and to get THAT much, I had to get several books and web pages. GOOD JOB!!
I had more time to go thru the book and think that you should change the word "HALF" to "FOURTH".
I commend you on the great job you did. That's a hell of a lot of work for any major company to do, let alone an individual.

Again, Thank you
Craig Stubbs
Thank! I really appreciated this. I read it and was able to adjust my BIOS settings so that my machine runs about twice as fast. Pretty impressive.
Thanks again.

I purchased the 2000 edition of the complete The BIOS Companion— PDF from DigiBuy today. Any way you look at it, the information contained is well worth the $15 dollar investment. I must personally thank you for publishing such a wonderful resource for techies such as myself. Thank you again for all of the hard work.
