Imagine you're sitting next to a pilot on a flight and he's eager to answer
all those nagging questions you have about air travel. Are those bumps and
noises normal? Why are some take-offs delayed? What happens if there's a
storm? How does this plane stay in the air, anyway? In From the Flight Deck:
Plane Talk and Sky Science, pilot, meteorologist, and flight-school instructor
Doug Morris lets you take the window seat on a trip around the world, giving
you the scoop on everything from take-off to landing. He explains what you see
looking out the window, what that window is made of, and how the plane is kept
in rigorous flying condition. Perfect for informing the aviation enthusiast
and calming the fearful flier, From the Flight Deck tells you everything you
want to know about commercial airline travel: the physics of flight, how
airplanes work and what they're made of, how pilots are trained, route
planning and the importance of the ground crew, turbulence, flying in storms,
what the flight crew gets up to on layovers, and much more. With facts,
trivia, humour, and illuminating photos throughout, From the Flight Deck is
the ultimate flight companion.
