So You Want to be a Captain?

摘要

Not so much a book as a comprehensive briefing documerit, So You Want to be a Captain is written by Captain Ralph Kohn and Captain Chris White under the auspices of GAPAN (the Guild of Air Pilots and Air Navigators). A common question asked by potential candidates for captaincy is: "When should I start preparing for command?" Ralph and Chris suggest the answer is when the ab-initio has completed six months on type with their first airline and understands both the aircraft and the mode of operation. The book is an in-depth analysis of the personal, professional and legal requirements and responsibilities for the future commander.
