Product Description

Product Description
If your dream is to be an airline pilot, or you would like to know what it takes, this book reflects the experiences, thoughts and findings of a trainee pilot throughout the journey that took him into the right-hand seat of a jet airliner. The book covers everything that you need to consider before and during the training process, including where to train and how to raise funds. The flying course structure and ground school subjects are detailed, and many sample exam questions are included to give a flavour of what lies ahead. The book also looks behind the scenes, at life on a training campus, and considers all important practicalities before going on to look at how to find that dream job.

About the Author
Andrew Cook has just come to the end of his airline pilot training, and has compiled this book throughout the course. He now has a job as a pilot for British Airways flying Boeing 737s. Resident - West Sussex

5.0 out of 5 stars To be an Airline Pilot by Andrew Cook., 30 Oct 2006
By D. L. Brigden (Sussex, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A brilliant book and a must for anyone wanting to be a pilot! I have spent so much time trying to find out about how to become a commercial pilot and have received so many conflicting views that I was totally confused! I thought I would try this book and think it is excellent. It's laid out very well, is easy to read and has given me a good idea of where to train, how I can raise the finance to do it, what to expect, what I will be expected to learn and some very useful tips on getting a job at the end of it all.
Thank you Andrew, your words have helped me no end and I hope I can follow in your footsteps as becoming a commercial pilot is my dream too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Captain Sensible, 29 Aug 2006
Having read Andrew's fantastic and swashbuckling book I can only conclude that he is a real hero of our time. With his nerves of steel, sparkling wit and beautiful body, he sets an example to our children and our children's children.

This is an epic gushing with morality and of truely spiritual quality. I firmly believe that whether or not you are particularly interested in aviation this is a book of the highest order.
