Takeoff is permitted! Pilot-instructor on the secrets of training captains and first officers

Every day around the world, civil aviation aircraft make a couple of 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 solid ground to return after a while, connecting cities, countries, and destinies. DENIS OKAN, a pilot-instructor of civil aviation, has written a second book about the main thing in his life. In "TAKEOFF IS PERMITTED", Denis Okan takes readers on thrilling flights.
