„Fliegen aus dem Cockpit beantwortet“ von Hans Georg Rabacher ist eine absolute Leseempfehlung von mir für alle, die mehr rund um das Fliegen wissen wollen.
Das Buch ist kompakt und die Informationen sind leicht verständlich, auch wenn man sich mit dem Thema nicht gut auskennt.
Das Lesen hat wirklich Spaß gemacht und ich habe viel Neues lernen können. Auch empfehlenswert für die, die Angst vor dem Fliegen haben - das erlernte Wissen kann einem in manchen Situation bestimmt die Sorgen nehmen.

Amazingly woven like an interesting spell. I didn't think this book was going to be this good. It was , as you might expect , engaging , a total different piece of art from every aspect.
It sets a very high bar for whatever he does that comes next.

✈️It was a lovely read "FLYING : answers from inside the cockpit" is an absolute necessity read hard cover book! The Author Hans George Rabacher who's himself a pilot beautifully explains the queries of passengers about which you'll find nowhere but in this BOOK. 👨‍✈️

✈️Travelling through airways for the first time would make me very nervous and I will have a lots of questions filled inside me. I am sure the same happens with many people as well. So this book is the direct answers to all those questions.

✈️The best thing I liked about this book is that is very tranquil to understand and offers practical advice with every minute details for reader's understanding.😊

✈️The book is filled with interesting aviation facts which help to solve many doubts and fears for new fliers such as about safety rules, food and other services. The author has compiled the answers to any interesting questions asked to him being a pilot.

✈️Another merit I found is that the book is very concise, illuminative and straightforward which saved my time. This is a fantastic book focusing on boosting my confidence for flying which gripped me from the very start and I completed the book with a bat of an eye.

✈️I found the book very effortless and informative with easy writing style and great descriptions. Highly recommended for aviation passengers, those who are willing to flying or those who even look forward their carrier in aviation sector. I appreciate authors knowledge in his field. He is an expert and truly amazing. Grab this copy now and wish you a great journey. Looking forward to read more from the amazing author.🤗

Bought as gift for a teen with an interest in flying. Read carefully first to not damage the backing or mark any pages due to my own interest in subject. (So, is this “re-gifting”?)
Easy to read, probably middle school and up level. It answers general questions such as why meals are served and why gastrointestinal gas issues while flying but also provides simple explanations of how planes fly, instrument systems, and maintenance. It explained mental, academic, and licensing requirements for pilots and job duties of flight crew members. Some points of interest included were the accumulated pollution and radiation hazards to crew; a day of recovery from jet lag is needed for each time zone crossed; and the continued use of different measurement systems in various countries.

Simple, easy read that would be great young adult gift.

An engaging and informative read that delves into the intricacies of commercial aviation. The book covers a wide range of topics, from the science behind wing shapes to the reasons for certain in-flight phenomena. I found myself learning quite a few new things.

However, I felt that the book could have been elevated by including more personal anecdotes and examples from the author's extensive experience as a professional pilot. While the factual information is well-presented and easy to understand, a more personal touch would have added depth and relatability to the narrative. Still an interesting read.

Interesting but basic book. There were some really good chapters which would have enthralled me much more had they been expanded on. This is a good read for the commercial flight novice.

💭 Remember the first time you went on a plane? There were so many questions like what will happen? How will I identify my aircraft?

What's the security checking process?

What if I mistakenly broke some rules? Or what if someone opens the doors Midway?..... 🤯

Well, I faced them too!! Believe me, it was a nightmare.

And I was like, ugh! There Has To Be A Solution, there has to be something🤷

And you know what? I found one.

🗣️Introducing You To The World's Best And One Of It's Kind Book:-

✓ Which will clear all your doubts regarding flying

✓ And will help you to organize an awesome journey with your loved ones while teaching many other things as well!

📴Now no need to Google, to ask someone else, or to be nervous!! Cause captain Hans has made the one-step solution for all of us.

So, are you ready to dive into the world of flying, to know how to be a pilot, and other fantastic things about planes?

If yes, then let's see.....

📕What's inside this book?

It's a go-to place for anyone who has questions regarding the flying process, or is a plane enthusiast.

This book is mainly divided into three parts:-

1️⃣Here, the author tells us about the basic things, like:-

. How to identify your aircraft, the essential airport codes you must know, what's the security process?

And all clear our many queries, like:-

. Can we take our pets with us? What are the things we must know? Or how to travel with babies and the best ways to make the ride fun for seniors

2️⃣(my favorite):-

If you are a flying enthusiast or want to impress one 😉. Then, it's for you. (Well, don't ask my reason, though)

Here, the captain uncovers various myths about flying and explains everything about:-

• the history of aviation, planes, how they fly? The logistics behind them?

• what's the effect of weather, altitude, etc.

In short, it covers everything from the basics of flying to the most important facts!!

Plus, there are many unique things here as well. For example:- what is the role of that little hole in the window? Or why we need that black box?

3️⃣This one is for the serious people who really want to make their career in the aviation industry!!

Here you will find the process of being a pilot/flight attendant. What's their training looks like and many other important lessons as well

✈️So, if you really want to be a part of this beautiful flying world. Then this one is for you :) And who can explain it better than a captain, isn't it?

🔷What did I like the most?

. First of all, the very vision behind the book is amazing

Which is to help a lot of people with their queries, doubts and to also guide them on the path of fulfilling their dreams

. Every chapter is explained in a very systematic manner. Whether it's how to organize a remarkable journey or the facts to remember, everything is explained beautifully

🔭 And the main USP of it is that you will learn so much in less than 150 pages. I mean, really??

That's when this is the first book of the author. Man! This guy possesses some brilliant writing skills

. I also got to know a lot about a sky rider's mindset while reading this book, like the way they think, how disciplined and organized they are

🔥Why should you read it?

✓If you want to read something fresh, something unique. Then this book is for you!

•It's powerful enough to solve most of the doubts you have or to teach you many awesome things

✓If you like reading various facts or want to impress someone who's into flying ;)

Then, don't wait. Just read it

✓ You will see a lot of qualities that make these sky riders special

✓Or, do you want to be a pilot/flight attendant but don't have anyone to explain the process, how things go?

No need to worry!! cause captain has got your back, and he's ready with this book to help you in every possible way

My friends that's all about it. Honestly, I feel everyone must know the things mentioned in this book, and that's why it's a must-read.

💥So, brothers and their sisters, tighten your seat belts and let's go on a beautiful reading journey with Captain Hans.

Cheers!

⭐My rating:- 5/5

Ich kann dieses Buch jedem, der mehr über das Fliegen und Flugzeuge erfahren möchte, nur wärmstens empfehlen! Die vermittelten Informationen werden kompakt und leicht verständlich überbracht und man lernt ganz viel Neues über das Fliegen dazu. Es hat mir einige Ängste genommen, da ich nun Erklärungen für gewisse Vorgänge beim Fliegen bekommen habe! Somit eine große Empfehlung für diejenigen, die Flugangst haben! Dieses Buch kann einem bestimmt einige Sorgen nehmen!
