Review Ever since Wilbur said to Orville, Little brother, do you want to learn to fly?, there has been a need for an educational tool such as this workbook. For 50 years Ive been a professional educator...and 40 of those years have been in aviation training and in promoting aviation safety. Without reserve I endorse and recommend Capt. Falluccos palatable method for nurturing and developing pilots in command--those who are and those who want to be. Numerous approaches exist regarding ON-THE-JOB UPGRADE TRAINING for professional pilots. Falluccos approach is actually workable, doable, enjoyable and profitable. It is a results oriented approach that can be applied on a routine and daily basis - all the while enabling pilot personnel to retain a sensitivity to an ongoing need in the profession. It maintains the focus on personal value by use of visualization technique. Through his work, he renders a truly valuable service to the aviation community. Writing from a lifetime of flying experience - both Navy and airline - Captain Fallucco palpably presents his conviction that truly professional pilots are the result of truly professional training methodology.

This book should be a text book for any college program preparing professional pilots. It provides professional insight to that career field beyond the basic technical skills required to actually fly the aeroplane. The book is really about leadership decisions and judgement calls required of the professional airline pilot. The book is organized in a manner to make it useful as a textbook, but also to p Long Description A captain must be able not only to fly the aircraft, but also to manage it, manage the crew, and above all, manage his or her resources. In a number of air carriers there may be less than adequate additional training conducted, when upgrading pilots to the very responsible position of captain. However, three things that do not change are the authority, challenges, and responsibilities of being captain. They are as constant today as they will be in the years ahead.Aircraft Command Techniques is a comprehensive examination of the characteristics of the experienced captain.
