## Description

desertcart.com: No Man's Land: the untold story of automation and QF72 eBook : Sullivan, Kevin: Kindle Store

Review: An absolute must read!!! - This book is an absolute must read for anyone interested in aviation, suffering from or knowing someone who suffers from PTSD, or anyone who wants a clear example of how modern technology is actually leading to unexpected safety hazards in every sector of our modern day lives. Without revealing too much information on specifics there were parts of this book that were so well written than it caused some anxiety and were hard to read. The book provides clear examples on how a major aviation tragedy was avoided thanks in part to the extreme skill and background of the Pilot in Command Captain Sullivan. The book bridges his Military background flying from the extremely demanding Navy Air craft carriers to his modern day position as PIC (pilot in command) of a modern aviation marvel Airbus passenger airplane. The book is well written and as a Private Pilot and A&P I found it extremely interesting and captivating.
Review: loved it! - Written by an amazing pilot. Enough said. Anyone that has a passion for aviation, this is a must read. You will be hooked.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A harrowing true story
*by L***E on February 16, 2020*

"It seems we've survived a science-fiction scenario, a No Man's Land of automation failure on an unprecedented scale." That sentence is the understatement of the millennium. A routine flight from Singapore to Perth for pilot Kevin "Sully" Sullivan and his two co-pilots turns into one of the most harrowing, horror-filled true stories I think I've ever attempted to read. The Quantas Airbus, which all three pilots were well experienced at flying, suffered a unforseen catastrophic computer failure (and I'm not sure "failure" even comes close) whereby the airplane's systems not only malfunctioned and/or shut down, but took control of the plane away from the pilots. A series of computer-generated nosedives resulted in major injuries for both the cabin crew and the passengers. Captain Sullivan, thank God, was able to rely on his US Navy fighter pilot training to not only wrestle (and I do mean physically wrestle) control of the plane back into the hands of the pilots, but also MANUALLY (without the benefit of systems, radar, or other basic in-flight instruments) flew this enormous plane hundreds of miles to a MAYDAY landing at a remote Australian airstrip. While many were injured and some severely, no one died, and that is a testament to those three pilots who literally fought for their lives and the lives of their passengers. There were several times, I had to stop reading to have a good cry. I can't help but compare what happened on this flight with the still-unknown whereabouts of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which disappeared from radar in the same general area of the Indian Ocean. Could that have also been a sytems-takeover that resulted in the loss of the plane and all lives? You have to wonder after reading this story. Captain Sullivan was as heroic a pilot as could be, given the circumstances. Medically retired (due to ongoing PTSD years after the near-crash), he sums up his role that day as follows: "I'll probably be required to continue to exercise my authority in the hours ahead (before help arrived). A quote from General George Patton rises out of my memory: 'Do more than is required of you.'" You certainly did, Captain.
