Airport Operations for the Professional Pilot (eBook)

Since the early days of flight, airports have been a focal point of aircraft activity. Airports today come in many shapes and sizes, with no two airports being the same. Some airports cover vast areas, containing multiple runways and complex maze of taxiways. The increasing number of aircraft taking to the skies has also meant airports are an area in which incidents and accidents are more likely to occur. This means to operate safely at an airport, it is essential pilots have a clear understanding of the many aspects of airport operations.

From the author of the hugely popular Aviation Books Series, this book takes the reader deep into the world of airport operations, with a particular focus on practical aviation, thereby linking science with the real world. Whether you are a new pilot that is exploring this topic in greater detail, or a professional pilot who has been flying for countless years, it is essential to understand how airport operations can influence a pilot's ability to conduct a flight safely.
