The companion book to the best selling General Aviation book '81 Lessons From The Sky'. 101 Lessons From The Sky focusses on commercial and air transport aviation, and is possible thanks to the pilots who shared their failings and misadventures. Read 101 true stories from pilots with hundreds and thousands of hours of flight experience between them. The flight simulator has nothing on learning from actual stories straight from the pilots who lived to tell the tale. 101 stories about the Boeing 737, and the 767, the CRJ-700, the Beech 99, the ERJ-145, the Airbus A320, a Learjet and a Gulfstream, the CRJ-200, the Airbus A319, and others. Read about airline checklists, complacency, maintenance issues, poor load planning, limitations with dipsticks and fatigue, and dozens more easy-to-read true accounts of potentially catastrophic incidents narrowly averted. And the lessons the pilots, the cabin crew, the ground crew, the engineers, and the co-pilots learnt. And the airline companies and air cargo companies... Learn from the experiences of other pilots so you don't become another air incident statistic. An essential read for all current and future pilots. And remember, safety first. Order now.
