Dispatching a flight not only represents organizing the departure of an aircraft but also involves an endless number of operational issues in charge of qualified personnel for that purpose. The figure of Aircraft Dispatcher was born with the need to guarantee the safety of both the aircraft and its occupants and other personnel on the ground. The ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) recognizes the figure of Flight Dispatcher as a pillar in air safety.As such, commercial air companies must have a certain number of flight dispatchers, depending on the size of their fleet.Like pilots, flight dispatchers must take a specific course on the aircraft in which they will operate their dispatch, limiting themselves only to being able to dispatch this class of aircraft in each operation. In simple words, a Dispatcher authorized for an Airbus A320 aircraft could not legally dispatch a Boeing B737 aircraft.The tasks of the Flight Dispatcher are several and include: meteorology analysis, NOTAMS analysis, analysis of the condition of the aircraft and MEL, analysis of cargo in holds, passengers, luggage, weight centering, aircraft swaying, determination of speeds for the takeoff segment and other operational calculations. Once the work is finished, the Flight Dispatcher gives the pilots a folder with all the information collected so that they can make the final decision to operate the aircraft in one way or another.The task of the Flight Dispatcher begins at the company's operations office, usually located at each airport where the company operates. Until the moment in which the pilot takes command of the operation and accepts the dispatch proposed by the Dispatcher, the Dispatcher is the authority of the operation, who decides if the aircraft is in a position to carry out the flight, based on all the aforementioned variables.This manual covers an introduction to the day-to-day job carried out by aircraft dispatchers, flight dispatchers or aircraft dispatchers (variants of the job title) and contemplates an analysis of the most important subjects for the position, such as: concepts about dispatch, weight and balancing, meteorology and planning.A manual with all the didactics that characterizes the entire collection of the most awarded aeronautical library in America.

The air traffic controller j o b has been one of the aeronautical pillars since the beginning of time. A job little known to passengers, but highly valued by pilots and aeronautical operators. The air traffic controller represents the voice that guides the flight throughout the journey, not only in normal situations, but also during abnormal situations.From the control tower, the job of the ATC Air Traffic Controller is to order the departure and arrival of flights, to and from his airfield. A task that involves extreme concentration on the part of the air traffic controller, who must organize the flights as accurately as possible since the slightest error in his work could cause a plane crash.Air traffic controllers at airports with extreme transits reduce their working hours so as not to be subject to too much stress since this job requires their whole attention at all times.In this work, you will learn about the main topics related to this magnificent job. A profession that will become a lifestyle.

La competencia entre los principales fabricantes de aeronaves es cada día mas feroz. Cuando un fabricante desarrolla una mejora en uno de los sistemas de sus aviones, la competencia está atenta a mejorar esos desarrollos en toda su flota. Lo cierto es que los sistemas de las aeronaves responden a un mismo principio de funcionamiento, y los grandes fabricantes lo saben. Hay cosas que simplemente no pueden mejorarse por que ya son casi perfectas. En estos casos es cuestión de cambiarle el aspecto a los sistemas del avión para ofrecen un producto diferente al mercado.En esta obra conocerás el principio de funcionamiento de todos los sistemas de un avión comercial, y por supuesto, sus diferentes apariencias, en función a cada uno de los principales fabricantes de aeronaves comerciales del mundo(Airbus y Boeing).Una obra que te invita a conocer como funcionan los principales sistemas de dos de las aeronaves comerciales mas voladas del mundo, el fabuloso Airbus 320 y el magnifico Boeing B737.

La navegación convencional depende de las ayudas de navegación por radio en tierra. Ha sido el pilar de la aviación durante los últimos años. Los pilotos, operadores y fabricantes están familiarizados con la tecnología asociada, la aviónica, la instrumentación, las operaciones, la formación y el rendimiento.La navegación basada en el rendimiento (PBN) detallado en el Manual de navegación basada en el rendimiento (PBN) (OACI Doc 9613), se basa en los principios de navegación de área. Si bien varios métodos de navegación por área han existido durante muchos años, el uso generalizado de la navegación por área como función de navegación primaria es un fenómeno más reciente. El concepto PBN tiene la intención de definir mejor el uso de los sistemas de navegación de área y se espera que reemplace muchas de las rutas de navegación convencionales existentes en los próximos veinte años.Los fundamentos de las operaciones de PBN son relativamente sencillos, y la aprobación operativa no tiene por qué ser un proceso complicado para el solicitante o el regulador. Sin embargo, la transición a la nueva tecnología, la nueva navegación, los nuevos conceptos operativos y la dependencia de las operaciones basadas en datos requieren una gestión cuidadosa.En este manual aprenderás todo sobre los procedimientos de PBN, RNAV y RNP.

Welcome to a new installment of the most successful collection in America, welcome to the Aeronautical Library! In this new edition, we have decided to take a different path to how we write and transmit knowledge and experiences. This new volume is not a technical manual like the previous manuals.Still, it is an explanatory manual based on experiences lived by a group of airline professionals who today form elite crews in international airlines worldwide. They will detail their paths until they reach where they are, they will express their experiences by recommending to each reader the most agile way to achieve their professional goals.This book is focused on understanding the way to becoming part of an international flight crew, starting from the initial interview in a company, through the entire personnel selection process, the theoretical courses of the plane to fly, the specific simulator instruction, the real flight instruction, the semi-annual instruction, the annual and semi-annual checks, the day-to-day work with all the operational details and many more details to know.Throughout these pages, each reader will know the experiences lived by our team of pilots, today temporarily writers, who have dedicated their free time to making a portrait of their experiences that we will call "Stories of Success" for this manual to become an indispensable guide for any pilot who wants to achieve the dream of flying an international airline. For such dedication, we thank Marcos (Pilot Boeing 787 Latam Airlines), Maximiliano (Pilot Airbus 380 Emirates), Fernando (Pilot Airbus 320 Latam Airline) and José (Pilot A330 Avianca Airlines).This work will become a daily use manual, an agenda of steps to follow, and a personal guide of the path that waits to be traveled with dedication, study and effort. Let's take this manual as a map to follow and enjoy each experience lived by our fellow pilots who want each lesson to be one more tool for each reader to achieve their professional goals.

Los paneles de un avión comercial suelen ser motivo de misterio para algunos pilotos que desean disfrutar de estas maravillosas obras de ingeniería aeronáutica.

Decision-making in the cockpit has a direct relationship with the safety of operations. But not only does it affect pilots of all levels, but it also involves many more people involved in the process.Decision-making is a process, and as such, it requires a series of logical steps to achieve the goal. This process occurs unconsciously in our brain in a fraction of a second. As human beings, we constantly make decisions, we decide what to eat, what clothes to wear, with which hand we caress our hair, or simply on which side we turn our heads when we hear a sound and react to this stimulus. All these actions are preceded by an unconscious process of the brain where in a fraction of a second all the options were analyzed and the most appropriate one was chosen.In aviation, the pilot constantly makes operational decisions, from the first hour of flight to the last at the end of his career. In this work, we will analyze all the variables that could affect the decision-making process, seeking to learn the tools to minimize the error during this process. An indispensable book for every pilot, regardless of their level of experience.

One of the most widely flown large single-engine aircraft in the world. The Cessna Grand Single-Engine, an excellent aircraft chosen for civilian passenger and cargo transportation flights, but also selected by various military forces for similar purposes.A versatile, agile, and easy-to-maneuver aircraft that allows landing and takeoff from almost any runway, whether suitable or unsuitable for operations. In its latest version, Cessna has equipped this fabulous aircraft with a Garmin 1000 system, giving it an unparalleled upgrade to its already acclaimed single-engine airplane and placing it at the top as the market leader.In this work, you will learn everything about the systems of this fabulous aircraft and its main flight qualities. A work based on the model of the Cessna Caravan equipped with Garmin 1000.

Desde el comienzo de su carrera aeronáutica, al iniciar la primera hora de vuelo instrucción, el piloto se encuentra con el concepto de cabina compartida, claro que en este caso con un instructor a cargo de la clase. Sin saberlo, está dando los primeros pasos en su entrenamiento de cabina compartida, concepto que lo acompañará en la etapa más profesional de su carrera, la línea aérea.En gran parte de la carrera de un piloto, este concepto de cabina compartida no se aplica, ya que el piloto vuela solo con amigos o con acompañantes ajenos a su actividad de vuelo. Luego de recibir su licencia de piloto privado de avión, el nuevo piloto comienza a volar para sumar sus horas de vuelo de experiencia, y durante este transcurso, el concepto de cabina compartida no es un ítem a cumplir, aunque debería serlo.En este manual le daremos una solución definitiva a esta falencia del sistema de instrucción aeronáutica, e intentaremos llevar todos los conceptos de cabina compartida a los pilotos de todos los niveles, desde el piloto inicial que está apunto de realizar su primer vuelo solo, hasta el piloto profesional que está ingresando a volar en una línea aérea.Aprender a volar un avión en cabina compartida, no hace referencia a las habilidades técnicas de vuelo que un piloto pueda tener al momento de operar su aeronave, sino que hace referencia al recurso humano dentro de la cabina, y a la gestión de este recurso en función de la seguridad del vuelo. Uno de los pilares de este nuevo concepto que aprenderemos será comprender que todo procedimiento puede ser compartido entre dos pilotos, y en función a ello, no sólo lograr la efectividad del mismo, sino también maximizar los recursos del vuelo.Luego de haber aprendido este concepto, y al aplicarlo en la vida real a lo largo de tus vuelos, observarás que volar una cabina compartida, no sólo hará el vuelo más ameno, sino que también lo hará más eficiente.Éste será el objetivo de nuestro obra, enseñarte todos los conceptos de cabina compartida, para convertirse en un piloto más eficiente del que eras antes de leer este libro.

Conventional navigation is dependent upon ground-based radio navigation aids. It has been the mainstay of aviation for the last years. Pilots, operators, and manufacturers are all familiar with the associated technology, avionics, instrumentation, operations, training and performance.Performance-based navigation (PBN) detailed in the Performance-based Navigation (PBN) Manual (ICAO Doc 9613), is based upon area navigation principles. While various methods of area navigation have been in existence for many years, the widespread use of area navigation as a primary navigation function is a more recent phenomenon. The PBN concept is intended to better define the use of area navigation systems and is expected to replace many of the existing conventional navigation routes within the next twenty years.The fundamentals of PBN operations are relatively straightforward, and operational approval need not be a complicated process for either applicant or regulator. However, the transition to new technology, new navigation and new operational concepts and the dependence on data-driven operations require careful management.In this manual you will learn all about PBN, RNAV and RNP procedures.

Carrying out a successful instrument flight not only requires the technical and operational skills to maneuver an aircraft in conditions of reduced visibility or adverse weather, but also requires a set of theoretical knowledge and flight techniques that help minimize the margin of error and try to ensure the success of an instrumental flight.In this new book of the most successful Aeronautical Library in America, we will try to cover all the theoretical and operational technical content to provide each reader with the necessary tools with which they can develop a safe and efficient instrumental flight.Flight physiology, basic and operational theoretical concepts of instrumental flights, basic regulatory concepts and a whole series of recommended techniques to carry out this type of flight without losing sight of the main objective, to operate the aircraft safely.Instrument flight theory is one of the main subjects of the commercial pilot career since it forms one of the most solid pillars that a pilot in training must have.

In past times, all the adventures experienced by sailors on each ocean crossing were recorded by the captain in his navigation logbook, the captain's logbook, a manuscript carefully written by the highest rank of the boat, written with a pen and guard in his main cabin. In this manuscript, the captain had to write down everything that happened during his trip, a complete adventure manual, for those who would read it in the future.This book will be our captain's blog. A manuscript written by airline pilots, who have shared their stories with us, and want to offer their stories to the world. Each of the stories detailed in this work are real, modifying some data and information to protect the privacy of those who have told them.Accompanied by these flight stories, we will learn the real stories of professional success of some of our colleagues, who have decided to share their own personal stories to show that every dream is possible, even when it is impossible.Cockpit Stories is the first book of the Aeronautical Library that departs from technical teachings and seeks to entertain its readers with fabulous stories lived in the cockpit, where it is presumed that what happens in the cabin, remains in the cabin. We live in an aeronautical environment where every day more tools are demanded and greater obstacles appear to achieve the long-awaited dream of flying. Today we will pause to enjoy aviation again, through the eyes of those who have seen charming landscapes, unique storms, complex approaches and everything from the front row, the cockpit.

The night flight type rating is based, purely and exclusively, on the abilities of a pilot to adapt to a flight without visibility, in situations of visibility beyond the usual ones that he can experience during the day. Night flight and instrumental flight have a significant similarity since the pilot must base his flight on the understanding of the information of the control and navigation instruments, and be aware of the erroneous sensations that the body may generate in a confusing scenario, such as flying in total darkness, approaching a highly illuminated airport within a completely dark area, flying over immense illuminated cities, or simply performing the operation on the ground with runway and taxiway lights.All these situations present a certain degree of confusion to those who do not have the necessary tools to understand the flight environment, an environment alien to everyday life that will test all your senses.This work will give you all the tools so that you can carry out a safe and efficient operation within a hostile environment, such as a night flight.

Desde sus inicios, la aviación ha introducido normas y procedimientos en función a las necesidades propias que iban surgiendo en cada momento. Con el correr de las décadas, cada país fue desarrollando sus propias normas para la operación de aeronaves independientemente de la finalidad del vuelo. Las diferencias de criterios operativos llevaron a incrementar el índice de accidentes aeronáuticos dando la oportunidad de formar un ente regulador de aviación civil a nivel internacional conocido como OACI (Organización de Aviación Civil Internacional).Luego de la Primera Guerra Mundial, la OACI toma un papel fundamental en las operaciones aéreas internacionales integrando a la mayoría de los países del mundo para conformar diferentes convenios operativos y anexos, un conjunto de normas, reglas y procedimientos estandarizados a nivel mundial que siguen vigentes hasta el día de hoy y que sean motivo del desarrollo de esta obra.Todos los contenidos de este libro están basados en los diferentes documentos y anexos de OACI referentes a la reglamentación aeronáutica internacional.

Competition between the main aircraft manufacturers is becoming fiercer every day. When a manufacturer develops an improvement in one of the systems of its aircraft, the competition is attentive to improving those developments throughout its fleet. The truth is that aircraft systems respond to the same principle of operation, and large manufacturers know it. There are things that simply can't be improved because they are almost perfect. In these cases, it is a matter of changing the appearance of aircraft systems to offer a different product to the market.In this work you will know the principle of operation of all the systems of a commercial aircraft, and of course, their different appearances, depending on each of the main manufacturers of commercial aircraft in the world (Airbus and Boeing).A work that invites you to learn how the main systems of two of the world's flying commercial aircraft, the fabulous Airbus 320 and the magnificent Boeing B737, work. Learning how an airplane's systems work is just the beginning, the next step is this work, to compare the systems between these two incredible aircraft.At the end of this reading, you will know the working principle of the systems of an A320 and a B737 perfectly.
