Pilots

An airplane speeds down the runway. You are pushed back in your seat. At the last second, the nose of the plane pops up in the air. The plane lifts off the ground. You're flying!

Pilots are the people who fly the planes. With this book, you'll learn what it takes to know how to fly a plane and how people get this exciting job. You'll learn all about where pilots go to work and why a pilot's job is so important.
