Pilot Training and Safety Considerations and Assessments

The United States' aviation transportation system is an important component of the US economy and one of the safest and most efficient systems in the world. However, the continued integrity of this system depends in part on the roughly 3400 US pilot schools providing well-trained pilot candidates for airlines. This book discusses the various types of US pilot training organizations, how they compare, and issues associated with training. Also discussed is to what extent the FAA carries out its oversight role of pilot training and certification.
