Emergency - Crisis on the Flight Deck
Emergency - Crisis on the Flight Deck
Emergency Crisis on the Flight Deck is a collection of true stories about events encountered on civil airliners where disaster seemed imminent, yet each situation is concluded without loss of life thanks to the skill of the pilots and their crews, whose bravery and resourcefulness have earned them well deserved commendations.
2nd Edition
Written by former British Airways Captain, Stanley Stewart, who has spoken at first hand with the pilots and crews involved in all of the incidents documented, the book offers a unique insight into what really happened. Each incident is portrayed from the flight deck's point of view, rather than from the passengers' eye perspective.
The book uses transcripts of actual flight deck conversations and communications with the ground, to confer immediacy as well as authenticity. For the passenger this is s a remarkably reassuring book, demonstrating how crews of modern airliners can react quickly and effectively to bizarre situations not covered by training manuals or in a flight simulator.
