C. V. Glines, author of numerous books on aviation, Former Editor of Airline Pilot Magazine Gen. Doolittle's Biographer
Captain Power-Waters "tells it like it is" through the use of many examples. Unfortunately, those who should read this book — FAA Officials — probably won’t.
Con Hitchcock, Director of the Aviation Consumer Action Project and Aide to Ralph Nader
A fascinating and sometimes hair raising account of how the air traffic control system really works and what can be done to improve the situation. As an experienced airline pilot, Captain Power-Waters knows what he is talking about and lays the facts before the public. Anyone who travels by air should read this book.
Bob Stanford-Tuck, RAF Wing Commander (Retired), Battle of Britain Quadruple Ace
. . . I thought it absolutely excellent and . . . at times it positively gave me the creeps!
Spence Dunmore, Author of 12 Books on Aviation
Just finished Margin for Error: None. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Extremely interesting and put together in a bright way. Hell of a good job.
FROM THE AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS

Domenic V. Torchia, Regional Vice President, PATCO West
After reading Margin for Error: None I have come to the conclusion that I wish I had 16,000 PATCO members with your attitude. I am sure that the morale problems that exist among ATC would soon be healed. Thanks again for your kind words and your supportive attitude. It is sincerely appreciated by all Air Traffic Controllers.

Gary Lashbrook, Air Traffic Controller, Miami Center
I thoroughly enjoyed Margin for Error: None, and I thank you for every chapter. There are a lot of men and women controllers out there that feel the same way I do about people like you. Thanks again.

David A. Nevitt, Air Traffic Controller, Norfolk Tower
Just finished your book. Terrific! Loved every page of it. I think it is probably the only thing I have ever read that gives the realities of Air Traffic Control.
John F. Leyden, President, Professional Air Traffic Controllers Organization
Captain Brian Power-Waters is intimately knowledgeable concerning the air traffic control system. As a airline captain, he brings the knowledge associated with his twenty-six years as a line pilot. Coupled with his close relationship with air traffic controllers for over twenty years, he is acutely aware of and acquainted with the problems of both professions. Captain Power-Waters provides us with a first time insight into the workings of the air traffic controller profession, the challenges and the many problems encountered in the current air traffic control system.
Michael G. Hughes, Air Traffic Controller, Dayton Airport
Thank you for writing this book. You are one of the few pilots who knows and cares about the ATC system.

The latest book by the retired US Airways captain isn’t any easier on the FAA than his previous works. The 30,000-hour pilot . . . spends more time examining and explaining what he sees as the things that have gone awry in US commercial air travel, since deregulation, and up to and including John F. Kennedy, Jr.; and September 11 and its immediate aftermath. . . . He says, "Whatever the case, we do know that John F. Kennedy, Jr., died following the rules laid out by the FAA which were, and are faulty." It will make you think. It will make you laugh, too.
