Neuware - Volume 1 of the Wings of Knowledge collection, titled Introduction to Aviation and the Role of the Pilot, offers readers a clear, engaging, and up-to-date view of the aeronautical world, connecting history, technology, and the human element in an integrated way. Written by an airline captain and air accident investigator with more than 53 years of aviation experience and over 20,000 flight hours, this book combines solid theory with real operational insight in a single volume. Throughout its chapters, the reader is guided from the earliest days of flight to contemporary aviation, covering the professionalization of the pilot, the evolution of aircraft and onboard systems, and the challenges of the digital and sustainable era. The book explains, in accessible language, how pilot training is structured, which certifications are required, how a career is built across different sectors of civil and specialized aviation, and what the technical, ethical, and legal responsibilities of the role are. Core themes of modern aviation-such as cockpit automation, human factors, decision-making, safety culture, artificial intelligence applied to air operations, sustainability, risk management, and the social and economic impact of global aviation-are presented in a didactic way, always linking concepts to their practical implications in day-to-day flying. More than a simple introductory manual, this first volume establishes the conceptual and operational foundations that support the entire Wings of Knowledge collection. It is designed both for those taking their first steps in aviation training and for professionals and enthusiasts who want to understand, in depth and with rigor, the role of the pilot within the complex and fascinating ecosystem of contemporary aviation. …
