Weight 580 tons, length 73 m, speed 1078 km/h
The pinnacle of cutting-edge technology, dissecting the airplane mechanism!
Every time we board an airplane, people have many curiosities.
First, as you enter and exit the boarding bridge, you are surprised by the complex appearance of the cockpit that you can see briefly.
And I am once again amazed by the fact that a huge airplane weighing hundreds of tons is flying into the sky.
While passengers board, what are the pilots doing in that complex cockpit? What are the principles and mechanisms that enable an airplane to soar? How do they find their destination in the sky without any signposts? A series of questions fill people's minds.

Departure preparation, takeoff, cruising, descent, landing, and emergency response
Understand the core concepts of pilot flight duties and aviation skills.
It is difficult for the average person to answer this question, which everyone has probably thought about at least once while riding an airplane.
This is why the author, a veteran pilot with over 30 years of experience, wrote “Airplane Piloting Textbook.”
This book, which comprehensively explains the structure and principles of an airplane and the core concepts of a pilot's job, provides expert answers to questions in various fields, such as how a pilot operates an airplane, what mechanisms are required for takeoff and landing, and why passengers must sit still for a while on an airplane during takeoff.

To create a book that even the general public can easily understand, the author meticulously follows the pilot's actual movements.
That is, it explains all of the pilot's aviation tasks in order according to the flight sequence, from departure preparation to takeoff, climb, cruise, descent, and landing.
It's like broadcasting a live sports game like baseball or soccer.
Therefore, the structure of the book is similar to the pilot's work order.

Chapter 1 covers preparations for departure.
Pilots prepare thoroughly before boarding a passenger aircraft to ensure a safe flight.
Gather all the manuals and documents required for operation and update related information.
And in the Peace Patch briefing conducted by the dispatcher (operation manager), various matters related to operation are discussed.
The briefing covers everything you need to know about the flight, including weather, flight information, flight route, fuel availability, alternate airports, and the weight and balance of the aircraft. Chapter 1 delves into each of these topics in detail.


Chapters 2 through 7 describe the entire flight process in detail.
Chapter 2 covers engine starting, Chapter 3 explains how to take off, Chapter 4 covers the principles needed to climb an airplane and when to turn on the autopilot, Chapter 5 details things to check on the way to the destination, the flight management system, and cruising methods such as step-up cruising, Chapter 6 covers two methods of descending from the destination and piloting techniques such as hovering, and Chapter 7 covers how to land, which is said to be more difficult than takeoff. These are the core of this book and essential knowledge for anyone who wants to understand the concept of aviation.


By the end of this article, readers will have had most of their questions answered.
Because it covers in detail how airplanes can take off, fly, and land in the sky.
The last eight chapters describe how pilots should respond in the event of various emergencies, such as fire or engine failure.
Since many emergencies are directly related to passenger safety, it can be said that this section is in some ways more important than other sections.
