Every day, civil aviation aircraft around the world perform hundreds of thousands of takeoffs and landings. Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, and 365 days a year, thousands of airliners leave the terra firma to return, connecting cities, countries, and destinies along the way.
Denis Okan, a civil aviation flight instructor, has written a second book about his life's work. In "Cleared for Takeoff," Okan takes readers on exciting flights. He explains aircraft design, recalls amusing incidents from his career, and shares his love for the profession. What are flights like in fog, rain, or thunderstorms? What other than challenging weather conditions can complicate a flight? Why is the captain's role so important during a flight, and what are the rules for a flight crew? What is preflight preparation, and what does it include? How are future captains trained? You'll experience challenging flights in different cities and airports, see how an aircraft crew operates, how difficult landings are carried out, how to control an aircraft in adverse weather, and much more.
