What if we showed up everyday to be a better version of ourselves? Not losing ground, but gaining more each day, more knowledge, more understanding, more real world skills. That is my reason for this book and my reason behind MzeroA.com.Every day we wake up asking the question: what can we do today to create safer/smarter pilots? My goal throughout this book is keep you inspired throughout the process of pursuing Aviation Mastery. Mastery in aviation or any other pursuit doesn't have a finish line. It's a self perpetuating infinite game with no end in sight. We know this more simply as "a good pilot is always learning."

Master Airline Pilot offers a process for improving pilots’ skills in risk management, situational awareness building, decision making, communications, and crew management. It links aviation human factors with practical airline operations to promote the development of master-level aviation skills across the full range of pilot experience. Serving as a practical guide for operational aviation challenges, the book discusses exceptional events such as operations under marginal condition, intervening to interdict an unsafe operation, and resolving crew conflicts. It also provides techniques for handling more common airline flying challenges like delays, holding, diverting, and continuing versus aborting a deteriorating game plan. The book is intended for airline pilots, training captains, simulator instructors, and aviation students taking courses in flight safety and crew management to improve their skillset, proficiency, and expertise toward peak performance.
