Captain Chris is the aviation brand of Chris Pohl, an international airline captain, instructor, examiner, and aviation educator with more than 44 years in commercial aviation. With over 29,000 flight hours and experience flying Airbus A320, A330, A340, and A350 aircraft, he shares practical perspectives on flight, safety, and life in the skies. His aim is to inspire aspiring aviators, inform passengers, reassure nervous flyers, and entertain aviation enthusiasts.

The brand offers educational content through media interviews, podcast appearances, social channels, and weekly stories published on Substack. Captain Chris’s Fear of Flying guide helps readers understand turbulence, aircraft sounds, pilot training, and ways to feel calmer before and during a flight. A free e-book is also available. His website provides information about his background, flight-deck experiences, and aviation topics, alongside a contact channel. Chris is also developing a book about flight-deck decision-making, turbulence, and the psychology of fear. A range of travel and aviation products, including a flight-deck backpack, aviators, and a pilot handbook, is listed as coming soon.
