Practical cockpit and flight operations coverage, including aircraft systems, procedures, safety, crew decision-making and airline operations.
Around 20,000 bird strikes a year in the US alone, and almost all of them are harmless. What aircraft are actually built to survive, the engine tests nobody talks about, and why the problem is getting worse.
