Office Pilot. About the Invisible Side of a Pilot's Profession. Book 3

Every day around the world, civil aviation airplanes 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 liners leave the solid earth’s surface... to return after some time, connecting cities, countries, and destinies. In his new book, Denis Okanya discusses why being an examiner is a challenging and responsible task and what skills are required to become a truly good pilot in civil aviation. He recalls flights to Novosibirsk, Sochi, Genoa, Chita, and other cities, about the unforeseen situations that sometimes arose during the most ordinary flight and how he and his colleague found solutions to them. You will learn what “turbulence” is, why it is so difficult to fly in a thunderstorm, how a plane takes off and lands, what the “office” work of a pilot consists of, as well as much more about the everyday life of a flight instructor.
