Aircraft Command Techniques

Fallucco, a pilot with American commercial airlines with 40 years experience, has written a comprehensive manual to train pilots in the skills they'll need to shift from the right seat (of the co-pilot) to the left (of the airline captain). The chapters detail how to cope with issues and events that include judgment, decision-making, range of responsibility, management of resources, communication, avoiding human error, situational awareness, emergencies, and training a replacement.
