1)  ‘A Captain at work’ – A look at the human aspects of airline command.

Takeoff from Mumbai viewing cockpit video. While flying to London you will learn about the human aspects of airline command. Finishing with a landing at Heathrow.

After the takeoff, I share many of the typical questions asked by passengers when they meet airline pilots.   I hope my answers are reassuring to passengers whose travel by air is dominated by memories of turbulence and white knuckles.

I discuss the decision-making techniques used by pilots to help them calmly bring challenging and potentially catastrophic situations to a safe conclusion.
