First Year Flight Plan: A Military Aviator's First Year Survival Guide as an Airline Pilot
Making the transition from flight suit to flight deck can be intimidating, but it doesn’t need to be. With the help of First Year Flight Plan, you will walk into your second flying career with confidence, well-prepared for the unfamiliar world of commercial aviation. Knowledge is power and this book will give you plenty of both!
First Year Flight Plan (FYFP) is Lt Col (Ret) Marc Himelhoch’s highly anticipated follow-on to Amazon best-seller Cockpit to Cockpit. FYFP breaks down everything a military aviator needs to know before starting their second career as an airline pilot.
Lt Col (Ret) Himelhoch’s laugh-out-loud sense of humor is used as the delivery vehicle for a wealth of information to help pilots navigate the flight plan between the conditional job offer and the end of the first year-probation period as an airline pilot-new hire.
FYFP uses exclusive, first person interviews with airline pilots at the largest U.S. major airlines to provide the reader with valuable, insider knowledge and advice tailored to specific airlines as well as general information applicable to all airlines.
If you’re a pilot making the daunting transition from a military cockpit to a commercial airline flight deck, First Year Flight Plan is the go-to resource you need to not only survive, but also thrive as a first-year airline pilot!
"Cockpit to Cockpit became the de facto guide for transitioning to the airlines by spelling out everything you need, step by step, in pilot-speak. First Year Flight Plan is the perfect next step, using the same style to help you max-perform your first year at your airline, now that you’ve landed the job.” – Jason, Delta Air Lines B-737 Captain
“Your search is over! Here’s your straightforward explanation of what you really need to know in your first year in the airline world. I wish I had this when I started!!” – Craig, American Airlines A-320 First Officer
“FYFP is the ideal follow-on to Cockpit to Cockpit to jump start your airline pilot career...entertaining, easy to read, and loaded with great information. I wish I had this amazing resource a few years ago, but this book can greatly benefit the current generation of military pilots just starting their airline career". – Rich, United Airlines A-320 First Officer
