Download or read book Let s Talk Pilot Talk written by Jamale Benitez-Porch and published by . This book was released on 2014-05-02 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Alpha to Zulu, Jamale Benitez-Porch presents the phonetic alphabet used by every pilot on Earth in a joyful method that will enhance the learning of children. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) developed this system in the 1950s in order to account for discrepancies that might arise in communications as a result of multiple alphabet naming systems coexisting in different places and organizations.In a world so polluted with conflict, the ICAO phonetic alphabet is a shining example of cooperation that has enhanced safety in the aviation industry. The ICAO phonetic alphabet (the most widely used spelling alphabet) assigns code words acrophonically to the letters of the English alphabet so critical combinations of letters and numbers can be pronounced and understood despite language barriers or transmission static. The 26 code words in alphabetical order are as follows: Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot, Golf, Hotel, India, Juliet, Kilo, Lima, Mike, November, Oscar, Papa, Quebec, Romeo, Sierra, Tango, Uniform, Victor, Whiskey, X-ray, Yankee, Zulu. The final choice of code words for the letters of the alphabet and for the digits was made after hundreds of thousands of comprehension tests involving 31 nationalities. With these distinct code words air traffic controllers and aircrews can communicate clearly and avoid deadly actions as a result of misunderstanding.What a neat way to learn the English alphabets, tap into aviation history and prepare young minds for an expanding aerospace industry.The brave airmen of the 332 Fighter Group learned similar code words at Moton Field in Tuskegee, Alabama before deploying into battle in World War II. Retired NASA Astronauts like R. "Beamer" Curbeam, B. Alvin Drew and Joan Higginbotham used the ICAO phonetic alphabet during Space Shuttle missions. Airline pilots like Captain Louis Freeman, Southwest Airlines, and First Officer Kimberly Scott, Alaska Airlines use the phonetic alphabet daily. Furthermore, student pilots all over the world are learning the ICAO phonetic alphabet for the first time. It is awesome that children will read this book and learn the phonetic alphabet before they can ride a bike.I could not be prouder of Jamale. He is a certified Private Pilot, still in high school and living up to the Bronze Eagles Flying Club of Texas (BEFC) tradition of aviation education. Currently affiliated with Black Pilots of America, Inc., the BEFC was formed in 1968 when Tuskegee Airmen Hulon "Pappy" White, and Elton "Ray" Thomas got together with Jesse D. Hayes, Jr., MD, Matthew Plummer, and Horace Perkins. These men had a passion for aviation and a mission to share it with others. I am encouraged that with fine young people like Jamale, the future of the BEFC is in good hands. Please share this book with every child you know.Jesse D.

Download or read book Me and the Sky written by Beverley Bass and published by Knopf Books for Young Readers. This book was released on 2019-09-10 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The groundbreaking female pilot featured in the hit Broadway musical Come from Away tells her story in this high-flying and inspiring picture-book autobiography! When Beverley Bass was a young girl in the late 1950s, she told her parents she wanted to fly planes--and they told her that girls couldn't be pilots. Still, they encouraged her, and brought her to a nearby airport to watch the planes take off and land. After decades of refusing to take no for an answer, in 1986 Beverley became the first female pilot promoted to captain by American Airlines and led the first all-female crewed flight shortly thereafter. Her revolutionary career became even more newsworthy when she was forced to land in the remote town of Gander, Newfoundland, on September 11, 2001, due to US airspace closures. After several days there, she flew her crew and passengers safely home. Beverley's incredible life is now immortalized in the hit Broadway musical Come from Away. Here, discover how she went from an ambitious young girl gazing up at the sky to a groundbreaking pilot smiling down from the cockpit. "Inspiring and up, up, and away all the way."--Kirkus "An inspiring biography about one woman's determination to forge a new path."--Booklist

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first novel in a new trilogy starring veteran New Republic pilots! On the brink of victory in a brutal war, five New Republic pilots transform from hunted to hunters in this epic Star Wars adventure. Set after Return of the Jedi, Alphabet Squadron follows a unique team, each flying a different class of starfighter as they struggle to end their war once and for all. The Emperor is dead. His final weapon has been destroyed. The Imperial Army is in disarray. In the aftermath, Yrica Quell is just one of thousands of defectors from her former cause living in a deserters’ shantytown—until she is selected to join Alphabet Squadron. Cobbled together from an eclectic assortment of pilots and starfighters, the five members of Alphabet are tasked by New Republic general Hera Syndulla herself. Like Yrica, each is a talented pilot struggling to find their place in a changing galaxy. Their mission: to track down and destroy the mysterious Shadow Wing, a lethal force of TIE fighters exacting bloody, reckless vengeance in the twilight of their reign. The newly formed unit embodies the heart and soul of the Rebellion: ragtag, resourceful, scrappy, and emboldened by their most audacious victory in decades. But going from underdog rebels to celebrated heroes isn’t as easy as it seems, and their inner demons threaten them as much as their enemies among the stars. The wayward warriors of Alphabet Squadron will have to learn to fly together if they want to protect the new era of peace they’ve fought so hard to achieve. Part of a Marvel and Del Rey crossover event, Alphabet Squadron is the counterpart to Marvel’s TIE Fighter miniseries, which follows the exploits of Shadow Wing as they scheme to thwart the New Republic.
