About Us
An aircraft pilot is a highly trained professional responsible for the safe and efficient operation of an aircraft. Beyond simply flying, their duties encompass extensive pre-flight planning, continuous in-flight monitoring, and expert decision-making in a wide range of situations. The profession requires a unique combination of technical expertise, physical stamina, and mental fortitude.
Job Summary
An aircraft pilot, or aviator, is an individual who controls an aircraft's flight by operating its directional controls
Roles & Responsibilities
Pre-flight preparation: Before every flight, pilots review and file the flight plan with air traffic control. This includes checking the aircraft's logbook, maintenance records, and weather reports to determine the safest and most efficient route. They also calculate fuel requirements and confirm that the cargo and passenger load is within weight and balance limits.
Aircraft inspection: A thorough pre-flight inspection of the aircraft is conducted to ensure all instruments, systems (including engines, navigation, and fuel), and controls are working properly.
In-flight operations: During the flight, pilots operate and navigate the aircraft according to the flight plan, continually monitoring the engine performance and other onboard systems. They must also stay in clear communication with air traffic control, the co-pilot (First Officer), and the cabin crew.
Emergency response: Pilots must be prepared to react quickly and with sound judgment to any unexpected issues, such as weather events or mechanical malfunctions. In an emergency, the Pilot in Command has the final authority to deviate from standard procedures to ensure safety.
Takeoff and landing: Executing takeoffs and landings is a critical part of the job, and pilots must follow strict procedures to ensure safety and minimize noise pollution.
Post-flight reporting: After the flight, pilots must document any issues or irregularities that occurred and file mandatory status reports for record-keeping and maintenance.
