Honestly, you look surprisingly relaxed. That's great  to see. Have a seat on the left side of the cockpit - that's the  captain's seat. Yes, that's right, you're now the captain, and yes,  that's the runway down there. Fasten your seatbelt, order yourself a cup  of tea, and let's get cracking.   Mark Vanhoenacker, the airline  pilot who makes poetry out of the science of flight technology, hands  over the controls.
