Book Synopsis Forty Years of Aviation Life by : David Boudreaux
Download or read book Forty Years of Aviation Life written by David Boudreaux and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-02-05 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is my desire to share the dissapointments and triumphs associated with living an aviation lifestyle. My hope is that many more individuals who are considering becoming a pilot, an aircraft mechanic or maybe even an aircraft owner will find this information valuable. This book covers nearly every aspect of becoming involved in aviation no matter which of these fields you might be interested in persuing. You can learn what is required by the Federal Aviation administration in order to become an aircraft mechanic, an aircraft inspector or even a private pilot. You can learn what you need to do in order to get started with pilot training. You can learn what to look for if you are considering purchasing an aircraft to do your training in. If you already own an aircraft you can learn about avionics upgrades and what maintenance you are allowed to do on your own aircraft. It has been brought to my attention that many people may be interested in being involved in aviation but really have no idea which area suits them best or where to begin and I believe this will help. I have been involved in the aviation industry for nearly forty years as the title indicates and have worked on Military, Commercial, Corporate and General Aviation aircraft my entire adult life. I have many people asking me aviation related questions from daylight to dark everyday and I thought it would a be good idea to just make a lot of this information available in one place. This book covers many serious aviation related topics but also shares a significant amount of firsthand experiences in different types of aviation careers. Personally I believe there is something for everyone who has the slightest interest in aviation but there is also a significant amount of humor. I think it is important for someone who may be considering an aviation career to know what to expect ahead of time. I can tell you firsthand that I had no idea of what to expect and frankly some of it caught me off guard. For those of you who are already in the business but possibly considering a different aspect, or a different job, there is plenty of information related to each possibilty. If you have been an aircraft mechanic for a while and are considering starting you own business that is covered as well. Everything from what you need to be aware of in order to start an aviation business to running a FBO or a CRS, to dealing with full time employees, contractors, customers and taxes. There is also a tidbit of information about dealing with the Federal Aviation Adiministration and its regulations. I have tried to cover some complicated issues while explaining them in terms that are interesting to the experienced aviation fanatic and yet easy for the aviation novice or mere spectator to comprehend. While all of the stories are true and easy to relate to I must stress that the lessons learned on my part are strictly my own personal opinion. While I think you will find many of my personal experiences interesting, educational and even humorous, most of all I hope they will help you to be motivated to get involved in aviation if you're not already. If you already are involved then perhaps it will help you decide where you would like to go from where you are in your aviation related career. No matter where you are or where you decide to go concerning aviation I hope reading this material will be a helpful and enjoyable experience.

Book Synopsis Flying Through Life by : Robert Firth
Download or read book Flying Through Life written by Robert Firth and published by eBookIt.com. This book was released on 2013-05-22 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a story written by a pilot who followed his father into commercial aviation. It is, on one hand, the biography of a professional pilot and, on other levels, provides us with insight into the mental disciplines necessary to follow such a career path. The story begins with a description of his life as a kid in rural New Jersey and follows him from his first flight to his last, some fifty years latter.As each passage of life ends, a new begins. The author provides us with an understanding of what it means to be a professional aviator and what he has learned along the way about his profession and about life. We see him grow as a person and as a pilot. We see the world through his eyes and gain an appreciation of his accumulated experiences both funny and those no so.Anyone who has spent years looking down on the world most certainly develops a different view of things than those who meander along the surface. This is certainly true of the author who provides the reader with a sense of his understanding along the way.
Download or read book A Good Stick written by Jerry Sorlucco and published by Author House. This book was released on 2005-08-12 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forced by federal regulations to retire at age 60, Jerry Sorlucco had served as an airline captain for nearly forty years and was probably the senior pilot on the planet. During that long career, he flew everything from DC3s to Boeing 767s. His memoir documents that experience professionally, personally and to some extent technically. Anyone with any curiosity about the life, work, gear and training of an airline pilot will find something engaging in this book. The story begins with an Italian kid from Brooklyn''s early love of flying and ends with his final flight from Frankfurt in 1997. Photographs of the aircraft Sorlucco flew, crewmembers, and his friends and family enhance the lively narrative. Given the sorry state of the airline industry, this story is especially timely. Sorlucco discusses some of the reasons for the industry''s collapse and offers some possible solutions. In fact, the entire narrative is framed in its historical context, so the reader will be constantly reminded of the wider world surrounding a personal journey. A Good Stick is a must read for the thousands of fellow pilots who shared an era with Jerry Sorlucco, for young pilots trying to keep afloat in a sea of airline red ink, and for anyone wondering what on Earth happened to America''s airline industry. For the aficionado, the historical and technical data in the narrative is not merely anecdotal; it is thoroughly researched and accurate.

Download or read book Air Force Lives written by Phil Tomaselli and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2013-04-19 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover what life was like for members of the British Royal Air Force from WWI to the 1970s, plus how to find out about an ancestor’s service career. What was it like to serve as an airman in the Second World War, as a pilot, a bomb aimer, or aerial gunner, or as a trainee pilot in 1913, a Zeppelin chaser during the First World War, or serve as a Wren fitter in the Fleet Air Arm or as a member of the ground crew who are so often overlooked in the history of Britain’s air arm? And how can you find out about an individual, an ancestor whose service career is a gap in your family’s history? Phil Tomaselli, in this readable and instructive book, shows you how this can be done. He describes in fascinating detail the careers of a group air force personnel from all branches and levels of the service. Using evidence gleaned from a range of sources – archives, memoirs, official records, books, libraries, oral history and the internet – he reconstructs the records of a revealing and representative group of ordinary men and women: among them an RFC fitter who won the Military Medal on the Somme, an RAF pilot who flew in Russia in 1919, an air gunner from the Second Word War, a Pathfinder crew who flew seventy-seven missions, a Battle of Britain pilot and a typical WAAF. In each case he shows how the research was conducted and explains how the lives of such individuals can be explored. Praise for Air Force Lives “The majority of the book consists of a series of nine extensive case studies. Collectively they provide a good range of different lives, and reveal a similar variety of sources used to learn about them. Read it for a rich and detailed picture of the different lives of air force ancestors.” —Your Family Tree

Book Synopsis Fifty Years of Flying Fun by : Rod Dean
Download or read book Fifty Years of Flying Fun written by Rod Dean and published by Grub Street Publishing. This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifty Years of Flying Fun covers, in a roughly chronological order, over fifty continuous years of flying. This ranges from joining the RAF in 1962, through his intriguing first operational tour on Hunters in Aden, the early days of the Jaguar in Germany and, finally in the RAF, an almost outrageous two years flying the Jaguar and Hunter with the Sultan of OmanÕs Air Force. His subsequent civil flying has been exclusively in the General Aviation and flying display fields as a flying instructor and well known display pilot, including being involved in many varied and interesting display-related episodes. With in excess of 7,000 flying hours on 59 different types Ð and only one aircraft (Spencer FlackÕs Mustang) with a working autopilot Ð Rod gives a clear, and largely humorous, insight into the operation of a cross section of piston and jet engine vintage aircraft and his undoubted fifty years of fun since the first solo on 19 March 1963. Fifty Years of Flying Fun is not just a book for the aviation enthusiast, but for anyone wanting to learn about any aspect of flying history through the memoir of a man who lived through it all.
