Aerophobia. No more fear of flying
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Flying! For some, it's just a pleasant word that takes them back to beautiful memories, vacations, business trips, and adventures. For others, it’s a heavy burden that acts as a barrier to enjoying countless moments with family, friends, or simply with oneself while pursuing work goals from one country to another. The fear of flying has existed since the dawn of time, even long before aviation as we know it today. Since then, it has formed a barrier between people and their goals. In this work, I will teach you how to overcome your fear of flying so you can expand your personal, emotional, and professional horizons—without fear and with positive expectations at every moment. Just like the anxiety before a difficult exam, the only way to overcome that uncertainty, that fear of the unknown, is through knowledge. I will show you that along the path of knowledge, you will find the tools to conquer your fear of flying. Let us enjoy this work, which will change the way you see flying!

Audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. More than a century has passed since humans conquered the sky. Like any conquest, it required assuming countless risks to achieve it. Once achieved, the process of consolidation begins, along with stabilization. Time and hard work are what allow this stabilization to be secure. Just like in every human conquest, this process has not escaped the chronological logic of growth. Of course, aviation is not exempt from this developmental mechanism of conquests. Unfortunately, for this industry, the process of growth comes with the loss of lives. After more than a century of conquest, it could be said that the aviation industry is in the stabilization phase, achieving established, reliable, and sustainable safety standards. If we have reached this stage, it is the result of work, research, study, and the construction of what we now know as a safety culture. The conquest of the sky and safe aviation require constant actions to maintain and increase the levels of safety that have been achieved. That is why this work highlights the most significant aspects of the development of concepts and techniques that have served, served, and will continue to serve flight crews in maintaining and improving the mentioned standards.

Airbus A320. Special Operations
The maneuvers of an Airbus A320 are extremely simple during normal operations. They may present minimal complexity during abnormal operations, but the aircraft is extremely easy to fly. On the other hand, there are special operations that require a higher level of attention, and these are not necessarily abnormal operations or emergencies, but rather uncommon operations, such as flights in wind shear, volcanic ash, among others. In this work, you will learn all the details of each of these special operations, which will take your understanding of A320 flight to the next level.

Since the dawn of aviation, the industry has been led by men, who have monopolized the aviation market in its various branches at least that’s what many believe. The truth is that since the beginning of the aviation era, women have played a significant role at every stage of aviation history. However, due to cultural differences, the male gender has always been more prominently associated with aviation and its environment. A century after the birth of aviation as we know it today, women have earned a place that is now one of the pillars of the industry, alongside men. Today, women hold similar roles to men in various aviation operations not just as pilots, but also as ground personnel, flight dispatchers, combat pilots, astronauts, and dozens of other positions. In this work, you will discover the lives and achievements of the leading female figures who have shaped aviation history but have remained unnoticed for decades. A narrative of great stories behind great women who helped shape the aviation world as we know it today.

History of the Military Aviation
Throughout history, mastery of the skies has been one of mankind's greatest desires. From the first experiments with gliders to the most advanced air combat systems of the 21st century, military aviation has been a decisive factor in the technological, strategic and political development of the modern world. This book is not simply a compilation of aircraft or battles; it is a profound and visually stunning tour of the pillars that support air power: history, technological innovation, tactics, and the bravery of those who man these machines. Past, present and future come together in a rigorous but accessible analysis that invites both professionals and aviation enthusiasts. From the flight of the first biplane fighters to the latest generation of autonomous drones, we will explore how each advance has redefined the art of war and the very conception of airspace. We will dwell on key moments, understand the impact of strategic decisions, and learn about the aircraft that made history.

Audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Currently, flight automation is nearly total in commercial aircraft. Automatic control systems are becoming increasingly popular in smaller and sports aircraft as well. In all cases, the proper functioning of an automatic flight system allows the pilot to free up attention from certain tasks and focus more on other aspects within the cockpit. However, it wasn’t always this way. The autopilot had its beginnings almost concurrently with the early days of aviation—an idea that at the time seemed extremely outlandish but would forever impact the field of aviation. In this work, you will learn all about the principles of automatic flight system operation and its various functions, using several commercial aircraft as examples. Autopilot, flight director, automatic power control, automatic navigation, and many other functions make an automatic flight system a significant advantage that enhances operational safety. It is the pilot’s responsibility to understand all its features and learn to operate these systems as effectively as possible.

Audiobook
Emergency situations during a flight can vary in type and characteristics, including in-flight emergencies, ground emergencies, immediate emergencies, non-immediate emergencies or urgencies, among several other categories. The truth is that each aircraft may present a unique type of emergency, making it impossible to learn how to manage all possible emergencies in the aviation field. However, it is possible to learn how to manage cockpit resources to control the emergency and minimize its effects. Cockpit resource management in an emergency not only refers to the various systems of the aircraft, but also to human resources (the pilots) and external resources (air traffic control, company operations, etc.). In this work, you will learn the main theoretical concepts of emergencies in general, and how to manage the main emergencies of a small aircraft (Cessna 172), a mid-sized aircraft (Cessna 218 Grand Caravan), and a large aircraft such as the fabulous Airbus A320.

Audiobook
In past times, all the adventures experienced by sailors on each ocean crossing were recorded by the captain in his navigation logbook, the captain's logbook, a manuscript carefully written by the highest rank of the boat, written with a pen and guard in his main cabin. In this manuscript, the captain had to write down everything that happened during his trip, a complete adventure manual, for those who would read it in the future. This book will be our captain's blog. A manuscript written by airline pilots, who have shared their stories with us, and want to offer their stories to the world. Each of the stories detailed in this work are real, modifying some data and information to protect the privacy of those who have told them. Accompanied by these flight stories, we will learn the real stories of professional success of some of our colleagues, who have decided to share their own personal stories to show that every dream is possible, even when it is impossible. Cockpit Stories is the first book of the Aeronautical Library that departs from technical teachings and seeks to entertain its readers with fabulous stories lived in the cockpit, where it is presumed that what happens in the cabin, remains in the cabin. We live in an aeronautical environment where every day more tools are demanded and greater obstacles appear to achieve the long-awaited dream of flying. Today we will pause to enjoy aviation again, through the eyes of those who have seen charming landscapes, unique storms, complex approaches and everything from the front row, the cockpit.

Knowledge of what is “behind the instrument” is key, since understanding a failure can not only contribute to the management of a potential emergency, but also provides tools for decision-making regarding the use or application of other systems, instruments, etc. Pilot training should be thought of as an interdisciplinary body of knowledge, with a practical application of a common objective: to carry out a flight safely and successfully. This new volume in the collection promotes the dissemination of complex technical subjects using the same didactic mode of communication, through simple explanations with practical examples and applications in all cases. We invite you to learn a little more about “what's behind the instrument panel”, and we assure you that you will find information and data that is highly useful and applicable to operations.
