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.

Do you want to be a better pilot? Do you want to improve your judgment and skills in training, tests, and throughout your career? Why do the best pilots consistently perform to a higher standard? It is the mental game and preparation that separate the good pilots from the high-performance pilots. Professional athletes have relied on sports psychology and coaching for years to help improve performance. Pilots too can benefit from mental strategies, but until now there has been scant aviation-specific content on how to prepare to fly. In Performance Pilot, noted performance coach, Ross Bentley, and professional aviator, Phil Wilkes, reveal aviation-specific procedures, techniques, and strategies to help you methodically, deliberately, and more effectively prepare for, conduct, and evaluate your flying and consistently perform at the highest level. For pilots just starting out, Performance Pilot can help you create a foundation to build upon and use throughout your flying career. The lessons and techniques are equally relevant to pilots at any experience level, whether recreational or professional, civil or military. In short, this book will make you a better pilot. REVIEWS FROM PILOTS "I''ve had the opportunity to fly large four-engine transport aircraft on all seven continents, from combat in Afghanistan to remote ice runways in Antarctica. Every flight demands the highest level of performance from the crew to ensure safe operations. As a military flight instructor, I have flown with pilots of all experience levels. It is amazing to see the difference between pilots that prepare and those that don''t. This book has techniques for all experience levels designed to help any pilot develop their skills and performance. For those just starting out, the techniques in this book can help create a foundation they can build upon and use throughout their flying career. In short, the strategies in this book can help build better pilots." Lt Col Brent Keenan, USAF, C-17A Instructor Pilot & Squadron Commander "This book is relevant to any recreational, professional or military pilot looking to enhance their own performance and skills. As a current instructor of F18 fighter pilots, this is certainly a book I will recommend to all my students." Squadron Leader M A Saunders, RAAF Fighter Combat Instructor "Plenty of books describe the technical aspects of flying airplanes, but the human performance psychology has largely been ignored. There is very little information for pilots on how to improve on high performance skills needed for high-stress and high-workload types of piloting. This book addresses that gap and gives pilots an understanding of the best and most efficient techniques on improving their aircraft handling in a way that will garner real results without needing to turn a propeller. I only wish I had this book years ago." Anthony Crichton-Browne, Airbus A320 Captain, competition aerobatic pilot & aviation podcaster "During my training as a military pilot, I utilized some of the strategies described in this book. However, my personal implementation was haphazard and lacked the methodical and deliberate implementation required to apply them in an effective manner. This book describes the structure needed to effectively apply these learning techniques as well as introducing many new and complementary ones I had not considered. I am sure that my aviation training and subsequent career would have benefitted greatly had this text been available at the time." Jaimie Tilbrook, Former RAAF C130 Hercules Captain "Reading and practicing the advice in ''Performance Pilot'' will help enhance your airmanship. I know that after any of my flying students or colleagues have read ''Performance Pilot'', I''ll sleep better in knowing that their flying careers will take them much more safely throughout their local skies and beyond." Andrew Musca-Unger, Grade 1 Flight Instructor & glider pilot

This book has been written specifically for anyone who is looking to break into the Australian aviation industry as a pilot. Whether just thinking about a career, part way through flight training or ready to look for that first job, this book covers everything you will need to know about this topic. Until now, most of this has been a well-kept secret.Recent regular publicity about the worldwide shortage of pilots has tempted a lot of people with an interest in aviation to contemplate a career as a pilot. They see seasoned captains in the major airlines earning big dollars and think that could be them in a few short years. Unfortunately, the reality is generally somewhat different.These potential pilots might go along to an information seminar held by a flight training organisation to find out more. Unfortunately, they will often be told what they want to hear, which is usually a long way from the truth. Or on the opposite end of the scale they might find a school that tells it how it is, then decide to give up because it sounds too hard.Until now, not only has it been difficult to find reliable information, but most of the aviation training industry does not recognise where the fundamental training problems lie. There can be a massive abyss between what a pilot learns on the way to the Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL), and what the industry needs a pilot to be able to do from day one. This results in a large percentage of newly graduated pilots, despite investing well over $100,000 in their training, never being able to find their first job in aviation.This book investigates and analyses the problems in the Australian aviation industry that will affect trainee pilots and provides practical advice on how to deal with each of these. The end result is hopefully a well-informed student who will have a much greater chance of securing that often elusive first job in aviation.

James Powell's earliest memories are of airplanes. His imagination was fueled by gasoline-powered models; balsa-wood gliders; and stories of military aircraft. Amazing, though, James never believed he would have the opportunity to fly in an airplane. While stumbling through school unsure of a career, James took a dollar ride in a Cessna 150. After a thirty-minute flight, he had an epiphany. As they taxied in, James's heart and mind were still in the air. Eureka! I've found it, he said to himself. This is what I want to do. I am going to fly airplanes. Powell's path from that day forward was straight and narrow: he joined the military and successfully graduated from the Air Force's pilot training class at Columbus Air Force Base in Mississippi. But that was just the first step in what became a career as a professional aviator. In this moving memoir of hard work and dogged determination, Powell recounts the rocky road he traveled on his way to becoming a commercial pilot. Despite the diversion of a teenage marriage and divorce, and friends' ridicule, James's determination never wavered. Read how author James Powell used his gift of tenacity, believing he could do anything if he worked long and hard enough in Of Dreams and Coveralls.

This is a book of first-person stories written by old pilots, those who flew the old airplanes in the old air force. These are personal stories of growing up in a different America, their lives before political correctness, back when airplanes were dangerous but flying was fun. The group calls themselves the Friday Pilots. They gather at McMahon's Prime Steakhouse in Tucson, Arizona, every Friday for lunch. There are those who finished careers as generals and colonels and majors and captains and even first lieutenants. They laugh. They exchange stories, some true. They have become legends in their own minds. There are fighter pilots, bomber pilots, airline pilots, corporate pilots, and astronauts. They have run large companies and been on boards. They have been rich and they have been poor. They have landed gear up and gear down. They have ridden huge rockets into space. They have crashed and burned. They have been to war. They have been blown from the skies, have run through jungles, and have parachuted into oceans. They have been captured and imprisoned as POWs and horribly tortured. There are heroes at the table, but none will admit it. They will tell you they have flown with those who were. It seems everyone talks about writing a book. The Friday Pilots have done something few do: they have written their stories for their families and friends. Strap in, hold on, and enjoy the ride!

Most pilots do not fully understand what is expected of them during the practical test. A pilot not understanding what is expected of them during the practical test for an Airline Transport Pilot Certificate can very easily lead to a failure. Most pilots do not review the ATP Practical Test Standards (PTS) completely prior to their practical test. Would any professional reaching the highest rating in any profession take a major exam without extensively preparing for the exam? By far most would not. Believe it or not this happens often with the ATP pilot certificate. This book will help explain the ATP PTS and allow a pilot to be fully prepared and confident to take the ATP Practical Test. This book is packed full of tips and techniques that will allow a pilot to be very successful on their ATP Practical Test. By the time a pilot qualified to take the practical test for the ATP Certificate, they are expected to know an immense amount of information. The ATP PTS helps organize that information, but just reading the ATP PTS most pilots will miss very important points. This book will help pilots understand the ATP PTS much better. Do risk failing your ATP Practical Test. Using this book in addition to the ATP PTS will greatly increase your chance of success.
