A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

The journey of André Berger started with advanced mathematics studies in the late seventies, followed by engineering, though he soon pivoted himself to pursue a career as a pilot. Pilot training in the early eighties was challenging, especially during a time when airlines in his country, Belgium at the time, were not hiring novice pilots. European pilot licenses were country-specific, EASA and standardization did not yet exist. The only large jet-operating airline he aspired to join was the national flag carrier, Sabena, but due to hiring freezes and the closure of the Civil Aviation School, he had to gain experience through diverse roles: ground handler, aircraft cleaner, mechanic, flight engineer, dispatcher, scheduler, banner-towing pilot, air taxi pilot, flight instructor, caterer, and even driving instructor, before finally being offered a first officer role on the B737-200 at Sabena.André Berger also is an experienced technical writer fluent in English and French, albeit his native language is Dutch. He specializes in creating operational manuals, guidelines, and procedures for major aviation corporations. He is a member of a distinguished global group of experts working with leading airlines, training organizations, manufacturers like Boeing, Airbus, Embraer, as well as simulator manufacturers and regulators. The aim is to enhance safety, training, and operational efficiency in the aviation industry.Currently based in the Middle East with his family, André Berger is consulting in pilot training, flight operations, and exploring advanced technologies such as virtual reality and artificial intelligence in aviation. His passion lies in shaping the future of crew training by employing innovative tools to enhance the learning experience and skills of the next generation of pilots and cabin crew.
