Über diesen Titel
According to the FAA, there are slightly under 700,000 certified pilots in the USA. The DOT estimates that 965 million air travelers flew in 2021 alone. While the aircraft and airspace we utilize has evolved to be a masterpiece of engineered efficiency and safety, the underlying mechanisms remain mysterious. How safe is the system, the planes, and pilots who fly them? Where are the weaknesses? And what can be done to make the system safer, better?
We Have a No Crash Policy tells the story from a pilot’s point of view. The sometimes scary and often humorous adventures experienced in the course, gaining over 5000 hours of flying, provides a window into the amazing world of aviation. There is much here for the pilot or aspiring pilot interested in what it takes to fly a WWII fighter or command a modern business jet airplane.
But there are also interesting insights for the laymen-passenger curious to know the reasons why flights are delayed, connections are missed, or what happens in the event of a real decompression at 41,000 feet. Looking for a ways to test your relationship? How about a real life in-flight emergency in the company of your spouse of girlfriend? What is going on behind those locked cockpit doors, anyway?
