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.

Don't think you can become a pilot? I think you can - learning to fly is easier than you think! Have you always dreamed of becoming a pilot? Are you wondering if now is a good time to become a pilot? Do you want to get started with flight training, but need help choosing a school? All your questions will be answered in this book! This book may be the most important book you will ever read if you want to become a professional pilot... But first a warning, this is not a book about "learning to fly" in a literal sense. You won't learn how aerodynamics work or how to control an aircraft in flight - that's something you will learn once you start your flight training. Instead, this book contains information that flight schools won't teach you. The information you NEED to know before you should commit to flight training! The knowledge you gain from this book is essential for you to have a successful and enjoyable career as a commercial or airline pilot! The main focus of the book is on FAA and EASA flight training in the U.S., but most of the principles apply regardless of your nationality. Whether you want to earn your private pilot certificate, become a corporate pilot, or become a captain in a major airline - this book is for you. And one note to the ladies - it is now the golden age for female pilots! Did you know you could become a commercial pilot, or even a flight instructor, at the age of 18 with less than 12 months of training? Right now is an excellent time to become a pilot because there is a global pilot shortage that is expected to last for the next two decades or longer. Boeing estimates that there will be a worldwide demand for 790,000 pilots between 2018 and 2037. That's a lot of pilots! How do I know the pilot shortage is not just a myth? Currently, most airlines in China are hiring airline captains from foreign countries because there are not enough Chinese pilots. And what's the pay like? Boeing 737 or Airbus 320 captains can earn an annual salary up to $380,000! That's over 30k per month! ...and, wait for it--it's all tax-free (in China)! Yes, it will be a long road to become an airline captain earning a good salary. But guess what? Reading this book will help you decide if you want to pursue the career. Who is this Author? With Bachelor's and Master's degrees from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Vesa knows a thing or two about aviation. With several years as a flight instructor, assistant chief flight instructor, and ultimately as the Chief Flight Instructor of a major flight academy, he is an expert in pilot training. Having trained hundreds of pilots who currently work for many airlines (including many Chinese airlines), he has the first-hand knowledge of the demand for new pilots. Because of his experience as a corporate airline captain, he understands the benefits and downsides of pilot life and can help you decide whether it's a good career path for you! Here are some of the questions this book will answer: Is a pilot career a good choise for me? How much does flight training cost? What are the medical requirements for pilots? How can I finance flight training without any savings or income? What are the benefits and downsides of a pilot career? What kind of certificates and ratings do I need to start working as a professional pilot? How to choose the best flight school (and flight instructor) based on my individual needs? Flight training is fast-paced, fun, and exciting. Why not get started now?

"50 Tales of Flight" captures the magic of flight from the ground up. The flight deck door has now been opened, taking the reader aloft in everything from biplanes to Boeings. From the alarm clock buzzing to begin the airline pilot's day to the threatening sound of silence when a light aircraft's engine fails and all that lies beneath are trees and cliffs. There are moments of pulse-racing tension and others of humorous relief to be found amongst this collection of stories from Owen Zupp's thirty years of flying. Interspersed are tales of combat veterans of wars passed and of those who lost their lives pursuing their passion in times of peace. For anyone interested in the world amongst the clouds, or just intrigued by this amazing field of endeavour, there is much to be seen through these "50 Tales of Flight."

If you're anxious about flying or you wonder what a pilot's life is like then you'll really enjoy this read. An unusual and entertaining autobiography from a pilot who talks more about the funny side of flying rather than the adventures we might expect. The operational side of the job is explained simply, reassuringly and humorously.How can car parks, airports coffee shops and immigration queues be made interesting? You wouldn't think so but read on ... the book leads you through everything we suffer at an airport through the eyes of a holidaying pilot ... and you'll find him good company. You'll never see flying the same way again.There's another angle throughout the book that is a surprise too. We expect pilots to love their jobs because of the excitement and glamour, but in this account, there's much more to discover. What do pilots feel at 35,000 feet as they fly along at 600 mph? Perhaps flying is more poetic than you imagine, maybe it's not just procedures and checklists that appeals to pilots. How has a 19th-century writer of the countryside inspired this particular pilot? What's it like to fly up and around a summer cloud in an open cockpit plane and dive down into it? What does it feel like to be in the front of a three hundred ton plane as you take off? Even if you're a bit nervous now, you certainly won't be after the take off that you'll read about in this book. And the dreaded turbulence ... what does he say about that? A great deal that will make you feel less nervous about it than you do now. And the next time you fly in turbulence, if your Captain forgets to speak to you there's a message from this Captain to put you at ease.He'll tell you about Concorde and their pilots, about the Cabin crew, engineers and everyone involved in getting your plane away safely and on time. But this isn't a list of boring technical procedures, it's a relentless account of how absurd it can all be if you just step outside of normality for a moment. But you'll never be made to feel anxious, every insight has a funny and reassuring side.This book is designed to keep fearful flyers entertained during their otherwise worrying flight, so you can pick it up and put it down without as he says losing the plot or the pilot.Why does Captain Keith think there's more split-second decision making for an actor than for a pilot? Because he's got an actor friend who didn't fly for 34 years but has been with our Captain in an airline flight simulator who now flies regularly. Read about the part simulators play in the incredible safety record that aviation has.Captain Keith will explain how planes fly in the funniest but most accurate way you've ever seen, and along the way describe why a garden shed despite being very light doesn't fly but why a 500-ton plane does.This is what he says about the two most famous people in aviation:"Ask any modern schoolchild "Who invented the aeroplane?" and they'd probably say Amazon, Apple or Google. In fact, the aeroplane was invented by a couple of brothers who made bikes and, if you think about it, not really the best people to make planes. In my opinion, things would have moved more quickly and efficiently if planes had been invented by brothers who were ornithologists or taxidermists. At least they would have had some experience of things that could fly, or in the case of the latter, things that used to fly."What effect did Mr Angus McGregor have on the author's life, or Mr Bindermann who flew the Atlantic against much advice? What about the 'talking' dog that could answer questions and wanted to take flying lessons?This unusual Autobiography will keep you laughing, make you think, help you if you're nervous and on the odd occasion make you wonder. You'll discover what makes pilots tick. If not all of them, certainly this one.
