This manual provides the most important information needed in the performance of multi-functional tasks required by a modern jet, and its knowledge about the performance and limitations of its human crew. Trained to allocate our order of priorities as: aviate; navigate; and communicate; no longer is it that simple. Less skill and stamina is demanded from a pilot.
Skills such as mental, social, management, leadership and communications have become paramount. Certainly the pilot still needs to learn how to manipulate the controls and to navigate, but these alone are insufficient. Perhaps our training priorities should now be: manage; communicate; aviate; and navigate.
Aircraft design is at the leading edge of technological development to the extent that the systems may exceed the capabilities and capacity of our human body and our human data processor. Knowledge of our own vulnerabilities and strengths will allow better and safer observations and decisions to be made. This handbook prepares aspiring air transport crew for the human aspects of flight within a high performing, multi-crew aircraft.
