Every day around the world, civil aviation aircraft make a couple hundred thousand takeoffs and landings. Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, and three hundred sixty-five days a year, thousands of airliners leave the solid ground only to return after a while, connecting cities, countries, and destinies. DENIS OKAN, a civil aviation flight instructor, has written his second book about the main focus of his life. In "TAKEOFF AUTHORIZED," Denis Okan takes readers on thrilling flights. He talks about the structure of an airplane, recalls amusing incidents from his practice, and shares his love for this profession. How do flights proceed in fog, rain, or storms? What besides difficult weather conditions can complicate a flight? Why is the captain's role so important during a flight, and what rules exist within the crew? What is pre-flight preparation, and what does it include? How are future captains trained? You will embark on challenging flights in various cities and airports, see how the crew works, how complex landings are performed, how to manage an aircraft in bad weather, and much more. His first book, "WHEN EVERYTHING JUST BEGINS," is a story about the very first steps in the profession of a pilot.
