LAKEVILLE, MN - A new resource for aspiring airline pilots is now available, and just in time as thousands of new pilots are needed across the globe to meet unprecedented demand. Pilots In Command: Your Best Trip, Every Trip, goes beyond the requirements of basic flight training and delivers sage advice from real pilots, for student and professional aviators alike, about how to be true leaders. The book is available in softcover and all popular eBook formats.
Author Kristofer Pierson, a pilot for a major US airline, covers a range of topics that tie into the application of basic leadership skills. Readers will learn better ways to provide exceptional customer service, how best to handle abnormal and emergency situations, layovers, and crew dynamics, and embrace a new model of transformational leadership and professionalism for pilots. The book has practical information and advice about crew roles, crew briefings, flight attendants, crew resource management (CRM), threat and error management (TEM), ground services, and dispatch procedures.
Pilots in Command: Your Best Trip, Every Trip is an excellent resource to help meet newly implemented federal aviation regulations and certification requirements which require airline pilots to complete a comprehensive ground school with instruction on leadership, professional development, crew resource management, and safety culture. "The upshot of these new requirements is this: Every airline hires pilots with the intention that they will someday in the near future upgrade to a captain position. The FAA certifies pilots with the intention that they are ultimately responsible--and qualified--for every operation they will undertake under the privileges afforded them by their ATP certificate," Pierson writes. "The regulations are explicit...all airline pilots must be fully qualified to act as pilot-in-command."
