Aircraft simulators are an integral part of every pilot's professional life. Within these simulators, pilots learn to manage abnormal operations, not just considering mechanical failures, but any situation that could compromise flight safety. Airline pilots are required to demonstrate their performance in a simulator every six or twelve months, depending on the airline. In these simulator sessions, pilots are evaluated not only on their maneuvers and flight management but also on teamwork, leadership, and decision-making abilities in extremely critical situations. Additionally, simulator sessions are instructional, where an instructor provides specific training to each crew, aiming to enhance their knowledge in managing abnormal operations. A simulator can become your best friend or your worst enemy, depending on the approach you take. In this work, you will learn to give the simulator its rightful place, and it will become your best ally, as that is its ultimate purpose.
Discover the mysterious, controversial, and sometimes downright eerie history of flights that didn't end as planned. The history of aviation is full of accounts of history's most spectacular flights. But what about the ones from which someone failed to return? - A celebrated millionaire--who also happened to be the world's foremost aviator--lifted off in a small plane one clear morning in 2007 and disappeared. - The glamorous son of a beloved fallen president took off on a hazy summer night in 1999 and plunged himself and two others into the Atlantic Ocean. - A US Navy blimp landed one Sunday morning in 1942 in the middle of a city street in California with no one aboard. Some of these "non-returns" occurred because of errors in judgment; others were intentional, and some resulted from causes still unknown. Get the full, meticulous account of the fascinating people involved in these flights, the mistakes they made, and the ways in which their "flight of no return" affected the world. Pilot and aviation writer Steven A. Ruffin covers the entire 230-year span of manned flight in all types of aircraft through war and peace. Balloons, blimps, biplanes, jets, and spaceships have all suffered mishaps over the years. Don't miss the mystery, adventure, intrigue, and a sprinkling of the supernatural and extraterrestrial in Flights of No Return.
The Dragon Takes Flight: China's Aviation Policy, Achievements, and International Implications analyzes China’s journey toward the development of its C-919 large passenger aircraft. Through the use of primary sources in English and Chinese, including interviews with important players in China’s aviation industry, Levine builds on Michael Porter’s Diamond Model to explore the underlying question of whether or not China will successfully develop a competitive large passenger aircraft. The model serves as a blueprint for determining what China is doing right and what areas need to improve. This study also looks at the potential implications the success of the C-919 may have on Boeing and Airbus and the ways in which both companies might prepare to meet the challenges they face.
