The Aviation Industry
hails TRACON
 
“Difficult to put down even at 2 a.m.”
— United Airlines Capt. Dwight Lubich
“For those of us who have only talked
with controllers on the radio,
TRACON is an entertaining package
and provides insights into how tough it is
on the other side.”
— Aviation Week & Space Technology
“Riveting from beginning to end.”
— PrivatePilot
“One of those books you find yourself
staying up late to read. Very, very late.”
— Pacific Flyer
“A thought-provoking work
that may give some travelers pause
before launching into a tirade
about yet another flight delay.”
— Airline Pilot Careers
“TRACON should be on your checklist.”
— AvWeb
“McElroy knows how to spin a complicated,
but fascinating, plot complete with some
great action sequences.
TRACON seems so real.”
— Airways
“The phraseology is perfect!
I highly recommend this book
to anyone who has a love for aviation
or anyone just wanting to read a good book.”
— Brandon Griffith, private pilot
“Required reading for anyone with even a passing interest in things aeronautical.”
— The CONTROLLER
“Engrossing. TRACON was so attached
to my face, my wife kept asking
if Tom Clancy had come out with a new book.”
— Scott M. Spangler, editor-in-chief
of EAA’s Sport Aviation
“As an FAA’er for 33 years, eight of them at O’Hare, TRACON is first rate in depicting ATC,
and much of the FAA, as it really is.
An outstanding a fictional thriller.
The characters are strong and relationships real.”
— Roger A., Nashville, Tennessee
“The most authentic book I’ve ever read
about air traffic control. I couldn’t put it down.”
— Randy Schwitz, former executive vice president
of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association
“Reading the book during my breaks at work
was like being in two dimensions. It was as if
[the author] was sitting in the room with me as I worked. He got it right from the inane comments to the adrenaline rush of an arrival push! I’ll be pushing this book on all my family and friends who just can’t seem to understand what it is that I do all day. [TRACON] puts the movie ‘Pushing Tin’ to shame!”
— Beth, New England TRACON controller
