Emergency Management

07

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
Emergency situations during a flight can vary in type and characteristics, including in-flight emergencies, ground emergencies, immediate emergencies, non-immediate emergencies or urgencies, among several other categories. The truth is that each aircraft may present a unique type of emergency, making it impossible to learn how to manage all possible emergencies in the aviation field. 
	However, it is possible to learn how to manage cockpit resources to control the emergency and minimize its effects. Cockpit resource management in an emergency not only refers to the various systems of the aircraft, but also to human resources (the pilots) and external resources (air traffic control, company operations, etc.). 
	In this work, you will learn the main theoretical concepts of emergencies in general, and how to manage the main emergencies of a small aircraft (Cessna 172), a mid-sized aircraft (Cessna 218 Grand Caravan), and a large aircraft such as the fabulous Airbus A320.
