Today, airplanes are almost as common a means of transport as trains. But for most it remains a mystery how an airplane rises into the air and stays above, how it reaches its destination safely and consistently. For the specialist and long-time flight engineer Jürgen Heermann, flying has lost nothing of its fascination. With vivid practical examples, he succeeds in bringing the complex world of flying closer to even the technically inexperienced reader - from entering the airport to touching down the aircraft on the runway. The perfect flight attendant from take-off to landing - successfully proven also in the fight against fear of flying.
