Fundamentals of Aviation Operations (E-Book)
This textbook is about aviation operations: the organizations and infrastructure in which commercial aircraft operate between airports, providing connections to society with the aim to earn profits. It is about rules, markets, suppliers, airports, airlines, money, people, politics and the aircraft itself. Aviation operations is a sector in which commercial aircraft are operated, deployed, assigned to routes, planned and scheduled from and to airports that are themselves tightly planned and scheduled. And all with the purpose of adding value to society as a transport sector. In the old days, aviation was formed by engineers, pilots and traffic controllers as the aviation professionals, and thus aviation organizations were run by staff originating in either of these three professions. In the old days, airlines and airports were run by pilots and engineers. Occasionally economists and lawyers got involved as outsiders, but lacking aviation knowledge they were hardly in charge. The CEOs were still engineers, pilots or even astronauts.
