| Description: |
Presents the facts about the jumbo jet. Chapter by chapter, the reader is taken from the basics of the big jets until, ultimately, the preparation for the pilot's seat on an actual flight from London to New York is outlined. All aspects are shown: from examining the weather forecast to landing. |
| Synopsis: |
Chapter by chapter the reader is taken gently from the basics of the big jets to the sophistication of the 'glass cockpit' in preparation for the pilot's seat on a Boeing 777 flight from London to Boston. Examine the weather forecast with the pilots, monitor the take-off from the flight deck, listen to the radio reports along the way, view the mid-Atlantic weather from above the clouds, witness the preparations for descent and experience the excitement of landing in Boston. Flying the Big Jets is a comprehensive book that reveals as never before the every-day working environment of the modern long-haul airline pilot. |
