"This is the captain speaking..." You've heard the announcements, but have you ever wondered what's really going on "up there?" You can't visit the pilots during flight, but now you can get the inside scoop. Join an experienced Airbus flight crew as they face a typical day's work. From the hectic pace of irregular operations, turbulence, and quick turn-arounds, to landing in marginal weather with minimal fuel, this detailed description of a line pilot's job places you in the heart of the action. Captain Grant Corriveau (Uplift - A Pilot's Journey) once again takes you behind that locked door to see what real airline pilots are up to while you're invited to "sit back, relax, and enjoy the flight." Really? After thirty years of airline flying the captain has gained a few insights and formed some strong opinions. Now, he's happy to share... "Fuel gives us time and options. But now fuel is costly, and companies dole it out by the teaspoonful. They dispatch us with minimal fuel reserves based on the reliability claims of weather forecasts. I wonder if meteorology departments ever overstate the validity of their predictions, to justify the multi-millions spent on technical equipment and super computers. Or is this just another example of my old pilot skepticism morphing into cynicism?" Corriveau shares intimate details with typical humor and candor... "An old aviation maxim says: "We don't fly until the weight of the paper equals the weight of the pilot." And, just like my waistline, the paperwork has increased over the years. ... once on board, the datalink will start spitting out paper like... well, like it grows on trees. First Officer Paula hoists about an elm-and-a-half off of the counter, and we make our way back over to the luggage rack." ... "I hear the sounds of galley doors and storage units slamming shut behind me. I glimpse someone in the jetway swinging the main cabin door closed. It must be time to go." Here's your boarding pass, now hurry! Don't miss this golden opportunity to sit in the flight deck, and view the job of an airline pilot from the inside out.

Every time you board an airplane, there are questions: Who are the people in the cockpit? Is this journey going to be safe and comfortable? What is this industry all about? Even people involved in aviation ask such questions. These and many others are answered in a series of short stories that Randal has put together from his own experience--from the days the seed was planted to the time he retired from aviation. Relax and sit back as he escorts you through tales you typically won't hear about, for his was not an uneventful career. The fifties through the nineties were the growth years of aviation as we know it. The skies are still full of airplanes that are forty years old. Virtually the same training aircraft are still in use. But these fifty years saw the advent of the jet engine for passenger aircraft, the transition of war pilots to specially trained pilots, from air and electric driven analog instrumentation to digital computerized glass cockpits, from paper to computers and from an open to a closed cockpit. What was learned in those years is still the foundation of all of aviation--worldwide. This book gives a glimpse of aviation when a pilot was paid for having fun.

I thought you might enjoy reading about the actual life of an airline pilot. In this book I explain how I prepare for a flight; what happens in the flight deck; why delays occur; and what I do when I am done flying for the day. I also share passenger behaviors that drive flight crews crazy. Enjoy the trip!

A poetic and nuanced exploration of the human experience of flight that reminds us of the full imaginative weight of our most ordinary journeys—and reawakens our capacity to be amazed. The twenty-first century has relegated airplane flight—a once remarkable feat of human ingenuity—to the realm of the mundane. Mark Vanhoenacker, a 747 pilot who left academia and a career in the business world to pursue his childhood dream of flight, asks us to reimagine what we—both as pilots and as passengers—are actually doing when we enter the world between departure and discovery. In a seamless fusion of history, politics, geography, meteorology, ecology, family, and physics, Vanhoenacker vaults across geographical and cultural boundaries; above mountains, oceans, and deserts; through snow, wind, and rain, renewing a simultaneously humbling and almost superhuman activity that affords us unparalleled perspectives on the planet we inhabit and the communities we form.

**Sunday Times Bestseller** **Book of the Week on Radio 4** 'A beautiful book about a part of the modern world which remains genuinely magical’ Mark Haddon 'One of the most constantly fascinating, but consistently under-appreciated aspects of modern life is the business of flying. Mark Vanhoenacker has written the ideal book on the subject: a description of what it’s like to fly by a commercial pilot who is also a master prose stylist and a deeply sensitive human being. This is a man who is at once a technical expert – he flies 747s across continents – and a poet of the skies. This couldn’t be more highly recommended.' Alain de Botton Think back to when you first flew. When you first left the Earth, and travelled high and fast above its turning arc. When you looked down on a new world, captured simply and perfectly through a window fringed with ice. When you descended towards a city, and arrived from the sky as effortlessly as daybreak. In Skyfaring, airline pilot and flight romantic Mark Vanhoenacker shares his irrepressible love of flying, on a journey from day to night, from new ways of mapmaking and the poetry of physics to the names of winds and the nature of clouds. Here, anew, is the simple wonder that remains at the heart of an experience which modern travellers, armchair and otherwise, all too easily take for granted: the transcendent joy of motion, and the remarkable new perspectives that height and distance bestow on everything we love. ‘A beautiful, contemplative book... What Skyfaring gives is something we need: elevation; another perspective... Normally when I find a volume where prose style and subject matter fuse so pleasingly, I tear through it in a day. Here, I found myself pausing on almost every page, as I absorbed its detail or phrasing.’ Nicholas Lezard, Guardian **A 2015 Book of the Year – The Economist, The New York Times, GQ and more**
