Book excerpt: Between 1967 and 1997 Keith Spragg progressed from the greenest new co-pilot on a piston-engined Vickers Viking to a fully qualified jet captain. He then went on to become an experienced pilot trainer and examiner, ultimately flying ten different types with nine different airlines. The story of that journey, told in I Have Control, is a personal one but is also part of the wider story of airline development. Keith witnessed many changes and it was not only the aircraft that changed; the training, attitudes and culture of airline pilots themselves were transformed over that period. Under the day-to-day demands of disrupted rosters and unsociable hours, the moments of humour and the need to squeeze as much fun as possible out of every day, the significance of these changes was not always obvious. Now, with time to reflect, the small boy's fascination with flight lives on. While the job changed, the rewards, the comradeship and the sense of privilege continued. But now Keith asks tough questions about the application of technology. Is the modern flight deck fit for purpose? Have we sacrificed skill on the altar of technology? How should the industry respond to the prospect of artificial intelligence and pilotless airliners? His account will be of interest to all aviation enthusiasts and is illustrated with 8 colour photographs in a four-page colour section.

Download or read book Lines of Space written by Devinder Kumar Dhiman and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-04-06 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Lines of Space' is a unique and interesting approach to creation of matter from empty space. The Author has presented this notion by primarily discussing the established theories of physics in an interactive dialogue with his son in order to simplify them and then comparing them with the new idea of 'Lines of Space'. The author conjectured that, in the beginning of the Universe, there was dense uniform space which converted into matter by contraction and caused different stresses in the remaining space, which in turn gave rise to fundamental forces. The author developed mathematical formulae to find this stress at various locations in the universe and established its relation with cause of Gravitation, bending of Light, expansion of the Universe, Theory of Relativity and creation of subatomic particles. Thus, he has presented in this book, an absolutely new, ground-breaking, plausible and fascinating look in to the world of physics where all matter in the universe is created from space itself and the fundamental forces subsist due to stress in the 'Lines of Space'.

Book excerpt: You Have Control is a unique and highly personal memoir that delves into the author’s most intimate and painful experiences, and explores how they changed him with a view to freeing others from having to suffer a similar fate. After a successful career as pilot and years of searching for true love, he realized that the only way to find such a thing is to begin with yourself. But first . . . he had to endure a painful reckoning that included, notably, a near-death experience. The author equates much of his experience to the concept of the Matrix, and the awakening that accompanies an alignment with the more enlightened option. With this, his once distressed soul enjoyed a spiritual awakening that left him with certain clairvoyant gifts. Here is his account of the journey, shared with the intention of helping others to enjoy the light without having to tolerate the darkness.
