Pilots in command

"Captains Class" is an extra module in the pilot upgrade training that air carriers use to train new captains. It is typically thought of by captain candidates as the capstone of training, enabling pilots to operate each flight and each trip as a good leader. Yet not every Captains Class provides tricks of the trade, pointers on leadership, or sage advice on how to put everything together. Every pilot knows, though, that when everything seems to be going wrong, everyone looks to the Captain -- the Pilot-In-Command -- to make things right. Pilots In Command: Your Best Trip, Every Trip fills a void in the aviation industry today, especially with the increased demand for a new cadre of airline pilots to fill the shoes of retirees, real advice from real pilots about how to be true leaders is both a rarity and a necessity. This book, in an easy-to-use format, will go beyond what is required by flight training curricula and provide practical, sage advice to student and professional aviators alike on a range of topics, all tying to the application of basic leadership skills. Pilots In Command is packed with information, techniques, and advice. The author covers crew roles, crew briefings, flight attendants, crew resource management (CRM), threat and error management (TEM), ground services, dispatch, customer service, abnormal and emergency situations, layovers, crew dynamics, career development, and professional standards. Pilots In Command will provide you with the information schools aren't required to teach in ground school--information that you would only get from experience and deep, thoughtful chats with your fellow pilots at 30,000 feet"--Provided by publisher.
