Airline Command
Gratuitous self plug for my personal blog about Upgrading to Captain (in an airline mainly). I've been "lurking" and building material and have now decided to take the plunge and go public. Below is a link and who the "intended audience" is.
Airline Command is aimed at the prospective airline Commander or Captain who will shortly begin either an upgrade course from First Officer or will soon be appointed as Captain by their employer.
Much of the material is targeted at modern civilian airliners, although with suitable modification smaller commuter airliner or charter Commanders can still use the underlying principles. In fact, any Captain, civil or military, of any aircraft can use the basic principles contained here.
While this is the primary group of individuals targeted by this blog, current Commanders can also use the guiding principles to refine and improve their Command skills. Other airline crew members (Second Officers and First Officers who do not have an upcoming upgrade) will also benefit from assimilating the knowledge and beginning to apply the skills in their normal Line Flights. Future Commanders can then observe how their current Captain leads, manages, organises and flies Line Flights – they are then free to choose the best of traits and discard the worst, which they can then start to meld into their own unique style of Command.
Current Trainers (those who train Command Trainees) may also benefit from refreshing themselves with these contents. It may remind them of the stresses and challenges that Trainees will face during Command Training.
