Product Description

Product Description
From the Flightdeck gives the reader a chance to be the pilot providing, as it does, a graphic portrait of how a modern jet airliner operates over long-distances. Since the first volumes in this series were published, the series has proved to be one of the most popular covering civil aviation subjects. In this new addition to a popular series, Bruce Campion-Smith records a flight from Heathrow to Hong Kong on board one of British Airways' Boeing 747-400s. Drawing upon actual voice transcripts, real time photography and the documentation used by the flightdeck crew, the author produces a pilot's eye view of a flight from Europe to Asia. Also covered are the ground-based operations at both Heathrow and at Hong Kong's new international airport.

About the Author
Bruce Campion-Smith is a journalist, living and working in Toronto. He is a regular correspondent in the pages of the monthly magazine Aircraft Illustrated and has also contributed a number of highly successful titles the Ian Allan Publishing list, including the most recent addition to the From the Flightdeck series.

4.0 out of 5 stars From The Flightdeck, 3 April 2004
By B. Bawden (London and South Wales) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have always had an interest in aviation, in particular large passenger aircraft, and there is no passenger aircraft more exciting than a Boeing 747. I am absolutely delighted with this book. There are similar books on the market but none of them let you in behind closed doors, and let you see behind the scenes of a long haul flight quite like this. Every detail is covered in this book from pre flight planning such as fuel and baggage loading configurations, to air traffic control transcripts and fantastic photography and diagrams. I would advise anyone with an interest in aircraft or aviation to consider this book. Absolutely brilliant, I am now looking to buy the others in the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, 6 Jan 2009
By T. Govier (Oxford UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The detail it is written with and the information given is very high.

Although the main topic of this book is the flight from LHR-HKG there is also a lot of information on the aircrafts systems and technical details too.

The book has many pictures and charts. It also includes SID/STAR charts for the Heathrow Departure and Hong Kong arrival and British Airways 747-400 checklists.

Whether you have an interest in aviation or are aspiring to be a pilot I strongly recommend this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars From the Flightdeck, 5 Jun 2007
By D. Bruce-kingsmill (Ross-on-Wye, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Probably like a lot of people, I have watched these Leviathon's landing and taking off at Heathrow and have wondered "How on earth does it do that!" Strangely enough I have never flown in one but I now have a holiday booked and will be flying in a 747-436 to Miami later this year. I bought the book in order to give me an insight into how the aircraft is operated. The book succeeds on all levels, being techical enough but with an easy literary style that gently encourages the reader to follow the pages. I thorougly recommend it to everyone with a passing interest in commercial aviation or just an arm chair pilot like myself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very detailed, very interesting
A well-written look at how the pilots fly this plane, and what happens on the ground at the airport. There are lots of photos to show the flight deck of the aircraft. Read more
