Because I Fly
Because I fly
I laugh more than other men
I look up an see more than they,
I know how the clouds feel,
What it's like to have the blue in my lap,
to look down on birds,
to feel freedom in a thing called the stick...
who but I can slice between God's billowed legs,
and feel then laugh and crash with His step
Who else has seen the unclimbed peaks?
The rainbow's secret?
The real reason birds sing?
Because I Fly,
I envy no man on earth.
— Grover C. Norwood
Impressions of a Pilot
Flight is freedom in its purest form,
To dance with the clouds which follow a storm;
To roll and glide, to wheel and spin,
To feel the joy that swells within;
To leave the earth with its troubles and Fly,
And know the warmth of a clear spring Sky;
Then back to earth at the end of a day,
Released from the tensions which melted away.
Should my end come while I am in Flight,
Whether brightest day or darkest night;
Spare me your pity and shrug off the pain,
Secure in the knowledge that I'd do it again;
For each of us is created to die,
And within me I know,
I was born to fly.
— Gary Claud Stokor
The Copilot
I am the copilot. I sit on the right.
It's up to me to be quick and bright;
I never talk back for I have regrets,
But I have to remember what the Captain forgets.
I make out the Flight Plan and study the weather,
Pull up the gear, stand by to feather;
Make out the mail forms and do the reporting,
And fly the old crate while the Captain is courting.
I take the readings, adjust the power,
Put on the heaters when we're in a shower;
Tell him where we are on the darkest night,
And do all the bookwork without any light.
I call for my Captain and buy him cokes;
I always laugh at his corny jokes,
And once in awhile when his landings are rusty
I always come through with, "By gosh it's gusty!"
All in all I'm a general stooge,
As I sit on the right of the man I call "Scrooge";
I guess you think that is past understanding,
But maybe some day he will give me a landing.
— Keith Murray
An Airman Grace
With a short dash down the runway, the machine lifted into the air and was flying. It was only a flight of twelve seconds, and it was uncertain, wavy, creeping sort of flight at best; but it was a real flight at last and not a glide.
— Orville Wright,
First flight of a heavier-than-Air Aircraft
We learn from every Pilot we fly with, every Pilot we talk to. Sometimes we learn a lot. My life changed thanks to a quiet little Flyer, an Instructor who danced with clouds in the perpetual pursuit of Piloting perfection.

Your Aviation Career Starts Here
Dear Fellow Pilot,
Wishing You a Very Happy Take Off !
Before you take decision to become an International Airlines
Pilot you must read following dos and don't for Pilots.
We have included this section to help and explain the Pilot's opportunities available to those Trainees who continue to work towards the Professional Pilot License level, and there after how to get about with their "way forward" plans.
We have also thought it prudent to include some of the many pitfalls or setbacks that await the financially unwary in what is otherwise a very loving Profession.
Every country has its own civil Aviation Department who manages Aviation
activities. You must make sure here we are talking about only Civil Aviation industry Not defence or military Flying. If you are planning to become a Fighter Pilot, Sorry we also can't help you much.
Why should you become a Professional Pilot ?
- Passion
- Glamour
- Reputation
- Career
- Born Pilot [ Childhood Desire ]
Before you begin
Before you embark, it is most important that you get an assessment from your country's "Civil Aviation Dept;" about the recognition of the license you are hoping to get, Is the License fully recognized by your civil aviation when you
return back home., ..? Also read CAR [ Civil Aviation requirment ] throughly.
Know your Certificates :
- PPL
- CPL
- IR
- MEL
- CFI
- ATPL
International Pilot Training Industry
Aviation worldwide is a recurring market and the industry is affected predominantly by economics, politics and some part of the globe with acute terrorism..ect. 9/11 had a negative impact on the Airline industry, while in other regions tourism sustained and some picked up and all the local Airlines and charter companies fared rather well...Outside an Airline Not all Pilots choose an Airline career. There are many other specialties just as rewarding. Other areas available are crop spraying, although I don't recommend it if you intend going the Airline route.
Remuneration
Obviously this is a difficult subject to generalise on as salaries vary extensively around the world. Crop spraying is renowned as being a well paid job but this will be cyclically dependant on the seasons.
Internationally Salary of the Second Officer range between USD $ 600 per month to USD $ 1500 per month First Officer USD $ 1000 per month to USD $ 3500 per month and for a Captain between USD $ 2000 per month to USD $ 8500 per month .
The salary depends on the Airline you fly and the number of hours / years of service. Normally the period of transition from a First Officer to a Captain is 5-15 years. Small and
developing countries like Nepal, Burma pay least Salaries and Countries like Africa, Canada pay best Salaries in the world.
Few fortunate Pilots become a Captain in 2-5 years too. Similarly Pilot salaries have drasticasllly fallen down after the shut down of many small n medium size Airlines.
Job Prospects for Pilots
Due to Global Reccession, Aviation Industry is going through a rough phase. But with the economy growing consistently and increasing purchasing power of people across the Globe the Aviation industry is bound to grow. The importance of time over money is key to making a transition from the railways to Airlines as a primary mode of transport. Flying however is a universal skill and once you have a few thousand hours under the belt, the world is open with opportunities.
Last but not least...
Take off is optional but Landing is compulsory..

Everybody has dreamt once of becoming a pilot during their childhood and few are able to make it possible. Becoming a Pilot takes lot of pain and labour, as it is one of the prestigious professions one can dream of and take the challenge to achieve it.However, a career as a Pilot is an option that will allows undertaking a passion on a daily basis, with the added bonus of earning a more than reasonable salary from doing what you love.
Pilot Training
The main three things you need to successfully complete Flight training are passion, ambition and desire. The training sessions in flying schools follow similar criteria; let us have a brief introduction about that-
1. Preparatory Ground Instruction
Most lessons will start with a short classroom briefing from the instructor on what will be covered during the flight. You’ll talk about what the exercise to be learned is, why you’re learning it, the theory behind it, and the practical steps in the maneuvers.
2. Preflight Briefing
Every flight will start with a preflight briefing, discussing the weather, route of flight, any special conditions, and outlining your responsibilities and objectives.
3. Dual Instruction
The airplane you train in has two complete sets of controls, one for you, and one for your instructor.
Your instructor will let you learn by making mistakes, but can easily correct your mistakes.
4. PostFlight Briefing
After the lesson, the instructor should tell you how well you met the lesson objectives, what you need to improve, and what you will do next time. If you don’t receive this information, ask for it. You will probably be assigned some reading or other preparation for the next lesson. The instructor will also fill out your PTR (Pilot Training Record), a booklet recording your progress.
5. Exercises
The content of all your lessons is prescribed by Transport Canada. Your flight instructor had to pass a written and practical test to ensure that he or she could follow the approved training methods, and every so often a flight instructor must take another test or attend a course in order to keep his or her flight instructor rating valid. You will work through the exercises bit by bit and will not proceed to the next one until your instructor is happy with your understanding and performance on the preceding one.
The exercises that you will learn are described in the Flight Training Manual. You will learn the basics about your airplane; how to ensure it is ready for flight, how to use the main and the ancillary controls, and how to “taxi” (drive) it on the ground.
You then learn the attitudes and movements of the airplane, essential background for flying the airplane straight and level, climbing, descending, and turning.
You also learn how to fly the airplane to maximize range and endurance.
There are special exercises that prepare you for safely landing the airplane: slow flight, stalls, spins, spiral dive recovery and slips. You will spend some time learning to safely take-off, fly a circuit, and land. Once you can do this safely, use the radio properly, if your airplane has one, and know the emergency procedures, you will go solo.
Then you will Learn specialized take-off and landing techniques for short or unpaved runways with obstacles around. You will learn about the illusions caused by wind when you are flying at low altitude.
You will learn how to make a precautionary landing in case you cannot reach an airport, and how to land safely even if your engine quits while you are flying.
You will learn how to navigate from one place to another, and also how to divert to an alternate airport if there is some problem. As part of your Canadian Private Pilot license you will also receive instruction in instrument flying, flying by reference to the instruments only, in case something happened where you could not see anything out of the window.
6. Review
Once you have learned all the exercises, you will review them and practice them until they are up to the flight test standards. You may be asked to do a flight with your school’s chief flight instructor or another instructor, as a sort of a mock flight test.
7. Flight Test
When your instructor is sure you are ready, he or she will book a test with an examiner. Usually the examiner will come to your school. You will be asked to prepare a navigation plan for the flight, along with all the other required documentation. You will spend an hour or more on the ground answering questions about your preparation and your airplane’s performance. Your examiner will ask you more questions about your preflight inspection, and then you will take the examiner flying. The flight itself takes about an hour and a half.
8.Ground School
One of the requirements of flight training is 40 hours of groundschool. You can fulfill this in a number of ways. Your school probably offers a course. If the time is not convenient, check your local community college. There are also online courses, and a self-study option is available, under an instructor’s supervision. The groundschool prepares you for the written test. It is best to take the groundschool at the same time as the flight training, because they reinforce each other, but if scheduling is a problem, groundschool can be taken before or after the practical training. You can also arrange to take groundschool by private tutoring.
9.Written Test
Once you have completed groundschool, and usually a practice exam, so your instructor can tell you have studied, your school will give you a letter of recommendation so you can go and write the government exam. You can write it at a Transport Canada office, where in most places it is no longer a “written” exam, but a computer administrated one. Questions appear on the screen, and you select a multiple choice answer using the mouse. For admission to the examination, you’ll need a minimum of ten hours flying time, a letter of recommendation from your school, a test fee , a medical certificate, photo ID, pencils to use for calculations,an electronic calculator, a chart ruler and the knowledge required to pass a four part exam. You can do the flight test and the written test in any order. It’s fun to do the flight test last, though, because you can get your licence signed right then and there and now you’re a pilot, and you’re already at the Airport!

====================================================
Flight Training
Apart from learning the basics, as to how an aircraft operates and what the procedures are to fly, the priority is to become a safe pilot. It is important that the atmosphere in which you learn is comfortable. This ensures that you can absorb the knowledge the instructor is presenting more easily.
Make sure you are comfortable with your flight instructor. Is he/she friendly, professional and skilled? You may pick up habits from your instructor, which can be either good or bad. Remember, your flight instructor should be a good role model whose example you should want to follow. Professional appearance, demeanor, knowledge, skill and motivation matter, there is no substitute for any one of these.
Try to maintain a constant schedule in your training. This way you will be finished sooner and costs may be lower as well. Plus, if all your training is done in sequence, you can build up experience logically and without interference, so you have less of a possibility to forget information along the way.
Log all your flight hours neatly in a logbook. You can either use an electronic or actual logbook. Personally, I prefer the actual book since then you are not dependent on an electronic device and you can easily flip the pages to refer back to a previous date. The more flight hours you have the better! Fly as much as you can, especially with your instructor. They can pass the knowledge they have to you, allowing you to broaden your understanding and ability.
Make sure your training is of high quality! Do not entirely rely on simulations of procedures, try to be able to do the real thing. For example, some of the instrument flying should take place in actual instrument conditions. Also for emergency training, simulations can only get you so far. Full touch down autorotations are a great way to sharpen your skills as well as those of the instructor. The more experience you get the better and safer you will be. Many accidents happen as a result of lack of knowledge and skills. Don't allow these things to happen to you, get the most out of your flight training.
Job Hunting
You can go pretty far on your own, but after a certain point it is all about contacts. Make sure you establish relationships and contacts early in your career. This will open doors that you may have never expected. Always do your best and work hard; someone may recognize that and recommend you to someone higher up in the aviation field. Impress people with your knowledge, skill, and integrity.
Like any good problem solver, always have a Plan B in case something does not turn out as you had hoped. Spend your time well and try not to waste it! Always double check any information with a reliable source before taking it for true. This is especially important when browsing the web. If something you read sounds too good to be true, it may be. Be smart in managing your time, money and training goals.
You may get your first job as a pilot or flight instructor at the location where you received your training. Your qualifications, character and contacts will carry you far. When applying for jobs emphasize your strengths and show enthusiasm; between two pilots of equal qualification, the one that seems more eager is more likely to get the job.
Schools offer Job Placement Programs that can help you get started. If you have established good relations with those at your school you will be a step ahead. Most flight schools hire their own graduates first, especially if their instructor recommends them. The instructor you work with will be the one to look to when you need references, so keep them impressed with your abilities.
Attitude can make or break a deal. Be assertive in leadership situations and be cooperative in team situations. If you are able to work with others as well as on your own, employers will be more likely to see you as a valuable asset to their organization.
Marketing is paramount. Always have a good answer ready as to why an employer should hire you. What makes you better than some other new graduate? Keep your resume professional and complete at all times; don't fall behind with updates; these can add that extra push that may make an employer hire you.
Don't give an unimpressive first impression. Be professional, always. Especially when going in for interviews: dress appropriately, be on time, and have all the information they may ask for. Show that you have an interest in the company you are applying for. Do you know anything about their background and history? What sort of things is the company known for? Do they have any well-known pilots on their team? Do your work and they will see that you are a determined individual that always does his/her best.
Don't give up! Even if a few employers decide not to hire you right away, keep trying. Look for other employers and send updated resumes to those that may have turned you down the first time. Maybe they just wanted more experience, if you keep them updated you show that you don't give up easily which can be a deciding factor in getting you a job down the road. Keep a positive attitude and stay determined! That is how you will land your dream career.
Good luck and have fun!
Aviation Career Guide
To be a successful pilot, professional flying or leisure, you need to know where, how and when to start. Aviation Career Guide gives you the advantage of knowing how to bypass the common loopholes in flight training.

A Glossary of Aviation Acronyms
Aviation Terms and Definitions
Aviation Jargon is sometimes a confusing and frustrating language and full three, four or more letter acronyms which can catch out even the knowledgeable! Sometime the picture is further confused by a single acronym having a number of meanings depending on the context in which it is used.
Take for example the acronym IFE, it has several meanings depending on the area of aviation it relates to, it can mean 'In- Flight Emergency', 'In-Flight Entertainment' or 'International Flight Engineers'. Confused ?
Hopefully you won't be with the Jargon Buster you may be able to successfully navigate the multitude of meanings.
The listing is in alphabetical order for easier navigation. We hope it helps.

========================
ICAO
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), is a specialized agency of the United Nations. It codifies the principles and techniques of international air navigation and fosters the planning and development of international air transport to ensure safe and orderly growth. Its headquarters are located in the Quartier International of Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
The ICAO Council adopts standards and recommended practices concerning air navigation, its infrastructure, flight inspection, prevention of unlawful interference, and facilitation of border-crossing procedures for international civil aviation. In addition, the ICAO defines the protocols for air accident investigation followed by transport safety authorities in countries signatory to the Convention on International Civil Aviation, commonly known as the Chicago Convention.
As of November 2011, there were 191 ICAO members, consisting of 190 of the 193 UN members.
The ICAO defines an International Standard Atmosphere (also known as ICAO Standard Atmosphere), a model of the standard variation of pressure, temperature, density, and viscosity with altitude in the Earth's atmosphere.It also standardizes certain functions for use in the airline industry, such as the Aeronautical Message Handling System (AMHS), making it a standards organization.
FAA
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is the national aviation authority of the United States of America. An agency of the United States Department of Transportation, it has authority to regulate and oversee all aspects of civil aviation in the U.S. The Federal Aviation Act of 1958 created the organization under the name "Federal Aviation Agency", and adopted its current name in 1966 when it became a part of the United States Department of Transportation.
The FAA's roles include:
Regulating U.S. commercial space transportation.
Regulating air navigation facilities' geometry and flight inspection standards.
Encouraging and developing civil aeronautics, including new aviation technology.
Issuing, suspending, or revoking pilot certificates.
Regulating civil aviation to promote safety, especially through local offices called Flight Standards District Offices.
Developing and operating a system of air traffic control and navigation for both civil and military aircraft.
Researching and developing the National Airspace System and civil aeronautics.
Developing and carrying out programs to control aircraft noise and other environmental effects of civil aviation.
The FAA is divided into four "lines of business" (LOB).Each LOB has a specific role within the FAA.
Airports (ARP):-Plans and develops projects involving airports, overseeing their construction and operations. Ensures compliance with federal regulations.
Air Traffic Organization (ATO):-Primary duty is to safely and efficiently move air traffic within the National Airspace System. ATO employees manage air traffic facilities including Airport Traffic Control Towers (ATCT) and Terminal Radar Approach Control Facilities (TRACONs).
Aviation Safety (AVS):-Responsible for aeronautical certification of personnel and aircraft, including pilots, airlines, and mechanics.
Commercial Space Transportation (AST):-Ensures protection of U.S. assets during the launch or reentry of commercial space vehicles.
JAA
The Joint Aviation Authorities(JAA), was an associated body of the ECAC representing the civil aviation regulatory authorities of a number of European States who had agreed to co-operate in developing and implementing common safety regulatory standards and procedures. It was not a regulatory body, regulation being achieved through the member authorities.
In implementing the so-called FUJA Report, the JAA had entered into a new phase as of 1 January 2007. In this new phase the former "JAA" had become "JAA T" (Transition). JAA T consisted of a Liaison Office (JAA LO) and a Training Office (JAA TO). The offices of JAA LO were located in the premises of European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) in Cologne, Germany.
The JAA started as the Joint Airworthiness Authorities in 1970. Originally, its objectives were only to produce common certification codes for large aeroplanes and for engines in order to meet the needs of European industry and international consortia (e.g., Airbus). After 1987 its work was extended to operations, maintenance, licensing and certification/design standards for all classes of aircraft.
EASA
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) is a European Union (EU) agency with regulatory and executive tasks in the field of civilian aviation safety. Based in Cologne, Germany, the EASA was created on 15 July 2002,and it reached full functionality in 2008, taking over functions of the Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA). European Free Trade Association (EFTA) countries have been granted participation in the agency.
The responsibilities of EASA include to conduct analysis and research of safety, authorising foreign operators, giving advice for the drafting of EU legislation, implementing and monitoring safety rules (including inspections in the member states), giving type-certification of aircraft and components as well as the approval of organisations involved in the design, manufacture and maintenance of aeronautical products.
The member states are Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, The Netherlands and The United Kingdom.
ECAC
The European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) or Conférence Européenne de l'Aviation Civile (CEAC) is an intergovernmental organization which was established by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the Council of Europe. It is located in Neuilly-sur-Seine/Paris in France. Founded in 1955 with 19 Member States at the time, ECAC counts today 44 members, including all 27 EU, 30 of the 31 European Aviation Safety Agency and all 39 EUROCONTROL Member States.
ECACp romotes the continued development of a safe, efficient and sustainable European air transport system. .
Its strategic priorities are safety, security and the environment.
ECAC Member States are: Albania, Armenia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Moldova, Monaco, Montenegro, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, San Marino, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the Republic of Macedonia, Turkey, Ukraine and United Kingdom.
DGCA
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) is the Indian governmental regulatory body for civil aviation under the Ministry of Civil Aviation. This directorate investigates aviation accidents and incidents. It is headquartered along Sri Aurobindo Marg, opposite Safdarjung Airport, in New Delhi. The Government of India is planning to replace the organisation with a Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), modelled on the lines of the American Federal Aviation Administration
DGCA has fourteen Regional Airworthiness Offices (RAO) at Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Cochin, Bhopal, Lucknow, Patna, Bhubaneshwar, Kanpur, Guwahati and Patiala. It has also five Regional Air Safety offices located at Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata and Hyderabad. It has a Regional Research and Development Office located at Bangalore and a Gliding Centre at Pune.
CAA
The CAA has been envisaged as an autonomous regulatory body which will replace the DGCA and will meet standards set by the UN's International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO). The CAA will have separate departments to deal with safety, economic regulation and grievance resolution, as well as a full-fledged environment department. It will also have an independent accident investigation bureau. The Authority will also have the autonomy to recruit staff.
Currently, the DGCA is understaffed and does not have any recruitment powers. The CAA will have administrative and financial powers similar to those of the American FAA. These powers will redefine the regulator's role and better equip it to face the challenges of the growing Aviation sector in the country. Employees working with DGCA will be transferred to the CAA.
The CAA would be self-financing and have a separate fund called the 'Civil Aviation Authority of India Fund' that would finance its entire expenses. It would have a Chairperson, a Director General and 7-9 members appointed by the Central Government. These members will be qualified in the fields of aviation safety, aircraft engineering, flight standard operations, aerodromes, air navigation systems and air space management.

What is more important to you: the money or the work?
Money is always important, but the work is the most important. There is no better answer.
Answer samples
1. Money and work both are like siblings. But I believe when you work hard; money will flow to you. So work is more important than money. Only hard work can help you put another feather in your success cap.
2. I believe they are equally important to our well-being. Certainly both. Even though Work is Worship money makes livelihood. Work follows money and money follows work. So, without existence of one another we can’t be achievable. However I can adjust for money up to some extent if the work is really challenging and doing which gives me job satisfaction.
What are your career goals?
1. The reasons of this question:
This question will test your ability and ambition to develop yourself as well as the ability to plan for the future.
2. Levels of career goals:
• You are not sure about your goals, then answer: I’m rather busy with my duties and goals of the Company; as a result, I haven’t focused much on my long-term personal goals.
• You have goals not or very little relating to the current job: For example, you are applying for a sales manager, but your career goal is to become the head of marketing department in the next 5 years.
• Current job oriented career goals: For example, you are working as a sales manager, you goal is to become the area sales manager in the next 2 years and in the next 5 years, you will be the regional sales manager.
Note that long-term goals must be set for the next 3-5 years.
a) When you have identified your goals, you need to answer the following questions:
• Are those goals suitable to the job you are currently applying for?
• Are those goals helpful to your current job?
• Are those goals helpful to the development of your current job in the next 3-5 years?
b) How to achieve those goals?
• Identify what you have to do to achieve your goals?
• In the next 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, what will you do?
Tell me about yourself
Steps
Step 1: Give a brief introduction about yourself:
For example: My name is Peter. I graduated from XYZ University with bachelor degree in Sales. After 5 years working as a Sales Manager, I have well experienced in training, mentoring and motivating other sales personnel to achieve the goals of the Company.
Step 2: Give a brief summary of your experience in your latest positions:
Give a summary of 2-3 latest companies that you have worked for and companies that have helped you succeed with your new jobs.
For example: recently, I have worked for ABC Company as Sales Manager for North-East Region. With my skills from training courses, I developed many sales campaigns which contributed much to the development of new customers and maintenance of current customer base. After 6 months, my sales force and I did regain the company’s market and promote the sales revenue up by 37%.
Step 3: Connect your ability to the employer’s requirements:
Never assume that the employer will by himself be able to connect all of your abilities to the job requirements.
Step 4: Make a concerning question:
With a concerning question, it will help you gain “control” of the interview. You may reduce the stress of the interview with such questions.
Tell me about a time when you failed?
Answer tips
It is certainly that anyone fails sometime, especially at work. For example, fail to comply with the regulations, fail to meet the deadline, fail to persuade others, fail to meet the goals….What matters more is what you learn from such failure, and the interviewer is planning to investigate that.
There are various reasons to failure: objective or subjective, a fraud, a wrong action, an omission or a lack of capacity…you don’t need to be too cautious about these, as if you learn from your failure, then there is nothing to worry about.
In answering this question, first, state a situation when you fail to do something (It is better if the reason is not your subjective intention). Then state how you realized that and dealt with that. And finally, how you learn from that.
What can you do for us that other candidates can’t?
Answer tips/answer samples:
After all, the benefits of you are the amount of value you may contribute to the organization. The interviewer decides you are the best candidate just because you are potential to make the most contribution to their organization. So, this question falls among those of the most importance. By asking this question, the interviewer is questioning about your skills and abilities that may help their organization, your special talent that differentiate you from other candidates.
To answer this question successfully, first you have to sum up the key requirements of the current job. Then come how your past experience is useful to the job; How your skills are related and qualified to resolve all the issues in connection with the job; how your knowledge and personality are suitable for the job.

What is the importance of proficiency in several languages for a pilot?
Answer: English language may be enough with a private pilot who only needs to understand control towers. But other pilots, who fly publicly, knowing more than one language is the need and useful.
Pilots have many simultaneous responsibilities during flight. What can you tell me about this?
Answer: Pilots take responsibility to navigate the flight, view and guide the activities of the team, check instruments, and keep track of the weather, control the height and air traffic. Performing all these and more, often at once, requests salient multi-tasking abilities and strong concentration.
How would you behave as the pilot of a plane during an emergency?
Answer: Express your feeling first. It is best to prove through examples, that you can keep your calmness during such problems, and you can self-control the emergency situation and assign tasks for team members if necessary.
What is your greatest weakness?
For example: I am a perfectionist and therefore, I rarely believe in anyone who can work as well as me. As a result, I am afraid to delegate important tasks to others.
Why should we hire you?

=============================
Air cabin crew
The role of an air cabin crew member is to provide excellent customer service to passengers while ensuring their comfort and safety throughout the flight. They are trained to deal with security and emergency situations which
may arise and can administer first aid to passengers.
Cabin crew ensure that all emergency equipment is in working order prior to take off and that there are enough supplies for passengers. They also help passengers to board the plane and give a demonstration of safety
procedures and equipment.
Air cabin crew strive to make the flying experience a pleasant one for the passengers and will serve refreshments and meals and sell gifts and duty-free items. Cabin crew may work on short or long-haul flights.
Ground handling staff
When an aircraft lands and approaches the spot, a ground handling staff gives signs to the pilot with paddles in both hands and guides the aircraft to the location where it should stop. This is called marshalling. Marshalling is
very important for moving a large aircraft safely and accurately. On behalf of the pilots in the cockpit with relatively narrow visibility, the marshaller watches for obstacles on the ground, and makes sure the aircraft does not
strike other aircraft. The marshaller must gesture confidence so that the pilots understand the signs accurately.
Pilot
Prior to departure, pilots check weather information of departure and arrival airports and enroute in the airport office, and prepare for a safe flight.
After boarding the aircraft, they receive a detailed report of maintenance conditions from maintenance engineers. They also personally inspect the aircraft and check for any trouble to make sure everything is all right.
Then, the pilots hold a briefing with cabin attendants, and share information on emergency procedures, security information, expected turbulence enroute, weather information at the destination, etc. If turbulence is expected,
they provide the degree and time, the timing for turning on the seat belt sign, and discuss the cabin service plan, etc., and make preparations to ensure a safe and comfortable flight through joint efforts.
During flight, the pilots pay attention to weather and airport conditions, conditions of the aircraft and aircraft flying in the vicinity. While making appropriate decisions at vital points in time, they operate the aircraft so as to
ensure a safe and comfortable flight.
Even after arriving at the destination, the pilots review the flight, and submit a safety report. By reporting weather and aircraft conditions enroute to relevant staff, they support safe operations of the next flight.
Cargo Staff
The aircraft cargo compartment is loaded with various shipments, such as electronic components, valuables, perishables, and live animals. Cargo staff pay the utmost attention so that these shipments do not affect flight
safety.
First, when accepting cargo from the customers, they check documents and cargo packaging to make sure that shipments do not contain cargo prohibited from transport, do not damage the aicraft during flight, and such. If
necessary, they inspect the cargo.
Next, the customers' shipments are built -up in containers etc.,so that they can be loaded and unloaded easily. (On small-sized aircraft, the shipments are loaded directly onto aircraft.) When containerizing, cargo staff pay
attention to the weight of each cargo and the Center of Gravity and built-up accordingly so that cargo do not lean or crumble during flight, and then secure the cargo in place on the container, etc. (or aircaft).
Mechanic
After the arrival of an aircraft, mechanics perform pre-flight inspection to prepare for the next flight and repair troubles occurring during flight, which are reported by pilots and cabin attendants.
During pre-flight inspection, they check aircraft conditions of the previous flight, the aircraft exterior for dents or scratches, fuel spillage, wear and tear of tires, whether abrasion of brakes is within the normal range, etc., and
other various check items.
Mechanics use their five senses to the maximum and do not miss even the slightest abnormal change, such as differences in engine sound. If there are traces of bird strike or lightning strike, they carry out a special inspection.
If there is trouble, they accurately pinpoint the cause, and swiftly repair it. They perform maintenance work daily, bearing in mind to provide passengers with a comfortable flight, as well as ensure the safety of the aircraft.
Ground Service Staff
Staff at the check-in counter bear in mind to provide customers with accurate information about their seats and boarding gate, etc. so that they feel reassured when using our flights. When checking-in the customer's baggage,
they ask whether the baggage contains any articles that are restricted from loading in the cargo compartment, and request the customer's cooperation for safety.
At the boarding gate, staff check the boarding pass reader and confirm whether all passengers have boarded. If there are passengers who have not showed up by departure time, staff check the cabin and call the passenger's
name. If the passenger does not show up after all, his or her checked baggage is offloaded for safety reasons before the aircraft departs.
Dispatchers
Aircraft operations are affected by weather phenomena, such as fog, snow, typhoons, volcanic explosions, mechanical trouble, and other various factors.Dispatchers and other staff centrally control operations of all flights
operating and overseas and keep an eye to ensure the passengers' safety.
Prior to departure, Dispatchers *1 check weather conditions and various information on operations, and create a Flight Plan showing the flight route, flight altitiude, the amount of fuel loaded onto the aircraft, etc. This
information is conveyed to the pilots prior to flight duty in the airport office.
First officer
In commercial aviation, the first officer is the second pilot (sometimes referred to as the "co-pilot") of an aircraft. The first officer is second-in-command of the aircraft, to the captain who is the legal commander. In the event
of incapacitation of the captain, the first officer will assume command of the aircraft.
Control of the aircraft is normally shared equally between the first officer and the captain, with one pilot normally designated the "pilot flying" (PF) and the other the "pilot not flying" (PNF), or "pilot monitoring" (PM), for
each flight. Even when the first officer is the flying pilot, however, the captain remains ultimately responsible for the aircraft, its passengers, and the crew. In typical day-to-day operations, the essential job tasks remain fairly
equal.
Third officer
Third officer is a lesser used civil aviation rank. It was primarily used by Pan American World Airways, particularly on its "Clippers" during the infancy of extended range airline routes. The third officer served as a relief pilot
and aircrew member and could move between pilot, co-pilot, radio officer, and flight engineer positions to provide a rest period for the primary crews (Flying The World In Clipper Ships). Third officers in modern civil
aviation are often not formally titled as such. Rather, these relief pilots take on a junior first officer rank or in some cases a second officer rank.
Air Hostess
An Air Hostess ensures comfort and safety of passengers. She explains emergency procedures before take off and assists passengers on board, announces weather and places of interest en route. She provides
refreshments, reading material etc to the passengers and makes in–flight announcements. The job of an Air Hostess job is rewarding but quite demanding. They have to attend passengers with patience and courtesy and
accept flexible working hours.
Aircraft maintenance engineer
An aircraft maintenance engineer (AME) is a licenced person who carries out aircraft maintenance. This same title is used in a number of different countries, including:
Australia
Canada

Best Paying Flying Jobs
TOP PAYING FLYING JOBS
The airline industry has been going through a rough transition for years now. From buttoned-down security to sky-high gas prices, it's been a bumpy ride. Still, the fact remains that people want to travel and there are plenty of jobs available at airlines, airports, airplane companies and security organizations around the globe. Where might your talents fit into the aviation industry?
Many people wish for the glamorous lifestyle and income of a pilot. But, do pilots always wear crisp uniforms and make the big bucks? Not necessarily, according to Al Lee, director of quantitative analysis at online salary database PayScale.com. He says, "There's a huge variation in pay depending on whether you're flying a float plane for a regional commuter company or flying 747s for United. Regional airlines sometimes pay $20 per hour and only when the engine is on." Lee says that with only 1000 hours of engine time a year, that hourly rate can come close to minimum wage.
Fortunately, you don't have to wait to fly jumbo jets if want to work in aviation. In fact, if you like doing math, mechanical work or security tasks, here are some in-demand job options, that are also some of the best-paid in the industry, according to PayScale.
1. Director of Aerospace Program Management
Median Annual Salary: $151,000
According to Lee, "Aerospace is second only to petroleum engineering in pay." That's why the director of an aerospace engineering program management team can earn well into the six figures. This person likely has a graduate degree in business, such as an MBA, in addition to their degree in engineering. Directors are involved in developing the company's business strategy, negotiating contracts to build aircraft and taking responsibility for company profitability.
2. Airline Pilot, Copilot or Flight Engineer
Median Annual Salary: $117,000
Most pilots used to receive their training in the military, but in recent years a college degree and training from an FAA-certified flight training school has become more common among new hires. And, while many may pay less, there are plenty of jobs for pilots besides passenger airline gigs. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), about 34 percent of commercial pilots use their time in the air to dust crops, test planes, monitor traffic, fight fires and perform other non-typical functions.
3. Aerospace Project Engineer
Median Annual Salary: $82,000
An aerospace project engineer must not only understand the ins and outs of aerospace engineering, but they must have the personal and organizational skills to lead a team through a project. A project engineer is likely involved in managing the budget for a project, hiring and training staff, checking their team's work and other administrative tasks.
4. Aircraft Maintenance Manager
Median Annual Salary: $74,200
Once again, this is a job position that requires both technical skill and a knack for leading teams. A maintenance manager is a knowledgeable professional who ensures that their teams perform maintenance regularly and according to regulatory guidelines. The manager schedules a staff of technicians and likely does much of the hiring and training of their team.

5. Air Traffic Controller
Median Annual Salary:$62,500
Lee notes that air traffic controller is one of the best-paying jobs you can have with an associate's degree. It's well known for causing sky-high stress levels and requiring a tremendous amount of mental focus. But, did you know that, depending on the airport, the work is separated out between controllers for ground movement, take-off, en route flight time, landing and more? The competition for these lucrative, steady job positions is steep, though the BLS expects a wave of retirement in the coming years that should open up more positions to younger controllers.

6. Sky Marshal or Air Marshal
Median Annual Salary: $62,100
Air marshals are employed by the federal government to guard against attacks targeting U.S. aircraft, passengers and crew. According to the Transportation Security Administration's website, air marshals may have the unique challenge of working independently, without back up. Therefore, they are trained in handgun accuracy, terrorist behavior recognition and learn "aircraft specific tactics and close quarters self-defense measures." Sky marshal sounds like a good job for someone who is brave, tough and level-headed.

7. Airplane Inspector
Median Annual Salary: $60,600
Airplane mechanics with some experience in the field and a positive track record can move into the role of inspector. Airplane inspectors enjoy greater job security because the work they do is, and likely always will be, required by the FAA. Airlines must have them around to regularly inspect the planes after any maintenance, repairs or overhauls. According to the BLS, the best job opportunities are available to mechanics who have an aircraft inspector's authorization.

8. Aircraft Mechanic
Median Annual Salary: $50,500
Many mechanics specialize in preventative airplane maintenance, though they also do repairs. While some mechanics learn their skills on the job, most attend an FAA-approved school, of which there are 170 in the US. Jobs with major airlines are the most competitive because they offer the best pay and benefits.

9. Avionics Technician
Median Annual Salary: $49,300
An avionics technician works on the components used for aircraft navigation and radio communications, weather radar systems, and other instruments and computers. They often must solve complex electrical problems and can work odd hours depending when their expertise is called upon.
-- Find Avionics Technician Jobs
10. Aircraft Loadmaster
Median Annual Salary: 40,900
The loadmaster mathematically preplans the correct placement of passengers and cargo on the airplane so that the plane can take off and land safely. In the military, loadmasters often fly with the plane so that they can prepare it for its next leg of the journey. Commercial airlines often hire a similar position, called a load planner, which does not require flying on the plane. When asked about how secure this job position is for the long haul, former US Air Force load master Ben Nesheim says, "There will always be a load master to calculate weight and balance. For every plane that carries cargo, somebody has to do the math."

Pilots Interview Questions
Best-Paying Flying Jobs
Pilots have many simultaneous responsibilities during flight. What can you tell me about this?
During the flying time, the pilots have to deal with many tasks at the same time. The pilots are the person who navigate the flight schedule, observe and direct the crew’s activities, check and applying the instruction in flight. Beside they also have to check weather condition and give suitable solutions with each case. In addition, they also have to monitor altitude and air traffic. These simultaneously tasks are very difficult and stressful so the pilot is required of outstanding multi- tasking skills and high concentration ability.
How would you behave as the pilot of a plane during an emergency?
Answer: Describe first what your emotional response would be. In the interview the chance to become a pilot is coming near to you if you can give a clear well example with the detail preferable demonstration of pilot tasks. Let them see that you can keep your mind be stable and poise; you can persuade all members in the crew follow your instructions even in the hard situation such as emergency procedures.
