"...a well researched and prepared book which will prove of benefit to many. It comes highly recommended." Journal for Civil Aviation Training

"By highlighting changed requirements and emphasizing sound teaching principles, this book is packed full of valuable advice and techniques for the training pilot and indeed for all others wishing to improve their value as a team member in the flight deck of a modern airliner. Whilst it is not a substitute for formal training in instructional techniques, this book is essential reading for every trainer and should be available in every training department." Aerospace

This is a great book that provides a comprehensive coverage of the knowledge and skills required in airline pilot training. The book provides the pilot trainer with the tools and techniques that should help in producing well trained pilots with not only the hard technical skills but also the critical soft skills such as effective communication, dealing with difficult trainees and the team approach.

The book is well written and is very useful and handy for the training pilot. It has loads of accessible, relevant and important information that makes it indispensable for those involved in pilot training. The important subject of human factors for pilots namely crew resource management is expertly covered and this should help reduce accidents arising from pilot error.

All-in-all, this is an excellent book for all pilots regardless of experience but particularly for the training captains.

The Airline Training Pilot is a revised and updated edition of the original reflecting the changes that have taken place within the international airline training environment. Particular emphasis is on the following:

human factors crew resource management (CRM) crew and organizational culture error management advanced qualification procedures (AQP).

Acknowledging that there is some way to go yet in reducing the so-called "pilot error" accidents and incidents, it offers insights and links to information sources which are aimed at provoking further thought and argument on all aspects of airline training and management.

Aimed at an international airline pilot readership, it explains in simple straightforward detail the method and means of delivering effective airline pilot training. By highlighting the techniques and challenges of preparing the next generation of skilled and safety conscious pilots, not only just airline trainers, but any pilot or potential pilot intent on embarking on a professional airline career will find the content useful and enlightening.

The Airline Training Pilot is a comprehensive reference handbook for contemporary airline pilot training and it is of valuable assistance for anyone involved in modern airline pilot training. The book emphasises a strong focus on human factors and soft skills required for airline pilots and instructors alike. Thus it is in my opinion not only a good reference for flight instructors but also for the sophisticated airline pilot who wishes to review or expand on his/ her communication and leadership skills.

I find the chapters dealing with the "basis for good instruction" and "training objectives and methods" of great assistance as these chapters incorporate good insight into pilot assessment and effective training methods.

The Airline Training Pilot is a well written book with a "hands on" approach to modern airline pilot training.
