Jobs In Aviation

Line Service Personnel

Organizes all aircraft movements in-and-out of the Hangar, fuels and services the Aircraft.

Bird Scarer

Birds are a serious hazard to Aircraft. Bird Scarer’s perform a vital job at Airports.

Airport Manager

Without a Manager, the Airport probably would not exist. This person keeps the Airport viable.

Accountant

Federal Aviation Rules and Internal Revenue Tax Rules often clash. An Aviation Accountant is worth his weight in Gold!

Aircraft Dispatcher

Fuel, hotels, rental cars, passenger manifests, international clearances, handling, weather reports; the works. It is all in a days work for a Dispatcher.

Aircraft Inspector

The structural integrity and serviceability of an Aircraft must be closely inspected to ensure that the Aircraft remains safe to operate. Inspectors perform this vital task.

Aviation Insurance Agent

An Aircraft is an extremely expensive piece of equipment to own. Also the nature of flight can be inherently dangerous, and therefore financial protection must be put in place for any eventuality; this is where the Agent is very important.

Aviation Meteorologist

The sky is an ever changing environment that is potentially hazardous to an Aircraft and its occupants. The Meteorologist produces the predications and reports for dispatchers and pilots.

Aviation Doctor

Pilots must be in ‘tip-top’ condition to stay legal and safe in the cockpit. An Aviation Doctor performs regular physical check-ups on all pilots.

Aircraft Parts Manager

An Aircraft is a complex machine that has thousands of individual parts all placed together to create a whole Aircraft. The Parts Manager procures, sorts, categorizes, protects, stores and dispenses all of these parts, when needed.

Aviation Financier

Most individuals, and a lot of companies do not have liquidity in their financial holdings sufficient to pay for the purchase of an Aircraft. This is where an Aviation Financier is extremely important, because he arranges for the cash from a bank or individual investors to pay for the aircraft on the buyers behalf, and then gets the money paid back over a long period of time.

Cartographer

This person performs survey’s of the earth’s surface, and then creates charts for pilots to navigate from. Aviation Charts have to be up-dated constantly, so that aircraft don’t lose their way, or fly into an obstruction.

Director of Aircraft Maintenance

An Aircraft has to be regularly serviced and inspected, both on a calendar and hourly/cycle schedule. The Director of Maintenance is in charge of the Aircraft to ensure that all of these required tasks are performed on-time, and at the right interval.

Aircraft Engineer

This person can have many roles, or be very specialized. As Aircraft are designed, built, and maintained, it is the Engineers job to make sure that the original design concept is not compromised, and safety is foremost in the continued operation of an Aircraft.

Computer Analyst

The operation, care, and feeding of an Aircraft generates a massive amount of data. A computer analyst consolidates, tracks and analyzes all of this information, so the right decision can be made.

Airport Fire/Rescue

The most hazardous times during flight, occur at the Take-Off, and at the Landing. Airport Fire/Rescue personnel are there ready for when things go wrong.

Certified Flight and Ground Instructor

Pilots must first learn to fly, and then after they have progressed through their various Ratings, they must maintain their currency and proficiency. This would not be possible without the vital work performed by Flight and Ground Instructors. Often they teach pilots in a Simulator on the ground, instead of up in the air.

Flight Attendant

Often these aviation professionals are maligned by the general public. They are not on-board to merely serve refreshments; instead they are there to ensure the safe and orderly evacuation of the Aircraft during an emergency.

Avionics Technician

Anything electrical or computerized on an Aircraft, comes under the care and expertise of an Avionics Technician. Virtually all modern Aircraft are now fully digital and computerized.

Aviation Maintenance Technicians

These vital members of the aviation team, perform all of the servicing and repair operations that are necessary on an Aircraft. They work directly for the Director of Maintenance.

Technical Service Representative

All Aircraft, systems and components manufacturers employ Technical Service Representatives to ensure that the equipment that they sell, is understood, and operated properly and reliably. These individuals provide the necessary interface between the user of the product and the manufacturer.

The Passenger

Unless the Aircraft is a single-seater that is designed for utility or military operations; it is specifically designed to carry Passengers. Many companies around the World use Business Aircraft to transport their executives and operations people to meetings and appointments. A Business Aircraft is much, much, more efficient than any of the Airlines.

The Designer

If the initial design concept was not conceived of and then committed to paper, or onto a computer screen; no Aircraft would exist today. We owe a great debt of gratitude to all Designers.

The Salesperson

Designers and Engineers are not Sales people. Once a design is formulated, someone must sell the concept of its value and necessity for it to be purchased. The Salesperson is who makes it all happen, by making a product commercially viable in the eyes of it’s clients. Business and Aviation would not function if there were no Sales people involved.

FAA Inspector

The U.S. Government controls Civil Aviation through it’s agency, the: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA.) This agency employs Inspectors to make sure that operators and certificate holders are all complying with the law and are conducting safe air operations.

Air Traffic Controller

The FAA employs quick thinking, and highly alert people to direct air traffic safely through the skies of this nation. This is a highly stressful, but also a rewarding occupation.

Safety Officer/Auditor

Operating an Aircraft requires a complex organization that involves many different people to make it all work. Sometimes when people get busy, they might forget to follow all of the required steps to ensure that their task is done safely. The Safety Officer/Auditor is there to monitor for any possible breaches in safety, before they happen or cause an accident.

The Aviation Department Manager

All of the people on this page except for the FAA employees; the passengers and the Aircraft/Flight Department Owner, all report to the Aviation Department Manager, including the Pilot. ‘The Buck Stops Here’ with this person.

The Owner

This is the ultimate boss. He or she that holds the money, is the “head honcho” without whom, the Flight Department and all of it’s associated jobs would not exist.

The Pilot

Look at all of the people that he relies on, to be able to do his job.

LINE TRAINING FOR PILOT: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

LINE TRAINING FOR PILOT: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

Line training for pilot helps you increase the amount of hours flown, gain experience in the actual aircraft and get the better job. Line training programs are offered by airlines or recruiters. Despite the fact that there are many line training programs in the world the most popular are A320 line training and B737 line training. In this article you will find the general information on what is line training and why pilots need it.

Requirements

Requirements to get line training are quite similar everywhere. There is a list of main requirements for line training program:

— At least 100 hours as pilot-in-command of airplanes;
— Type rating on a current aircraft;
— Valid ME, IR (multi-engine, instrument rating);
— Valid CPL or ATPL;
— Valid Class 1 Medical Certificate;
— MCC certificate of completion;
— English level 4 according to ICAO requirements;

Keep in mind that you need to send your CV. So read article ‘How to write pilot resume’, follow tips and write a professional resume.

Afterwards you need to send required documents and, if pre-approved, wait for further information with all line training program details (payment, additional required documents, etc.). Airlines or recruiters usually prefer candidates with at least 100 hours in total (more is better) and high grade of final type rating exam (approximately between 95 – 100 %).

Payment

Line training price depends on the type of aircraft. For instance, line training A320 might cost around 40 000 – 50 000€. Line trainings on less popular aircraft types are normally cheaper. Usually cadets are asked to pay around 60% of payment before the program and rest of it after.

It is important to mention that when obtaining for line training, pilots are not being paid. However, most of airlines offer opportunity for pilots to sign a permanent contract as a first officer after finishing the line training. Keep in mind that accommodation and transportation is usually not provided during the line training.

Despite the opinion that line training destroys the airline pilot industry (“Pay to fly”), line training is in itself necessary. More or less, it’s the first step to be a pilot. For sure, there was a time when airline pilot training was sponsored by the airline hiring a pilot. However, the situation has changed and only few airlines still apply this policy.  So the main information about line training programs is relevant and needful. In order to start your pilot’s career, you need to invest.

HOW TO BECOME A FLIGHT ATTENDANT

HOW TO BECOME A FLIGHT ATTENDANT

Flight attendants reassure passengers by assisting with in-flight safety procedures and making sure safety protocols are followed during flight. This includes checking that all seat belts are fastened, seats are upright and luggage is properly stored. In the event of an emergency, they might lead or monitor the evacuation and be called upon to perform first aid.

First of all, make sure you are available for this job. Read the list of requirements to be a flight attendant.

Requirements for flight attendants:

— Minimum age – 18 to 21 years, depending on the airline
— At least a high school diploma
— Height – 4ft 11in and 6ft 3in, or 150cm and 190cm, tall (this is debatable)

Although flight attendants must have at least a high school diploma or the equivalent, some airlines prefer to hire applicants who have a college degree. Prospective flight attendants typically need to have previous experience in customer services. Many employers prefer applicants with a degree in hospitality and tourism, public relations, business, social science, or communications. Those who work on international flights may have to be fluent in a foreign language. Some airlines as well may require to be gradated in special flight attendant academies.

Flight attendants typically have 1 or 2 years of work experience in a service occupation before getting their first job as a flight attendant. This experience may include customer service positions in restaurants, hotels, or resorts. Experience in sales or in other positions that require close contact with public and focus on service to the customers may also help develop the skills needed to be a successful flight attendant.

How to become a flight attendant

If you meet all of these requirements, then it’s time to find a job. Go to the websites of airlines that appeal to you and find their “careers” page. Also, visit aviation job boards and check out open vacancies for Cabin Crew. Make a list of all the jobs that appeal to you, and figure out whether you meet their requirements before proceeding. Most airlines will require that you submit an application with your basic information, a resume, and sometimes a cover letter. It might take several weeks before you receive a telephone call or an email from the airlines to whom you have submitted an application.

If you’re hired for a position, you’ll have to undergo a medical exam before the airline makes it official. Find out what the exam will entail and make sure you’ll be able to pass it. Once a flight attendant is hired, airlines provide their initial training, ranging from 3 to 6 weeks. The training usually takes place at the airline’s flight training center and is required for FAA certification.

New flight attendant hires go through a few months of training before they become junior flight attendants.  While they gain experience, junior flight attendants are under close scrutiny, and they receive a lower pay and fewer benefits than seniors. After about a year of doing a satisfactory job, junior flight attendants get promoted to senior status, which gives them greater career opportunities.

All in all, like any other job, being a flight attendant has it pros and cons. Some people do not fit the specifics of the working environment, but some are born for this kind of job. Eventually, if you have this exciting feeling inside every time you see an airplane, and you wish to try yourself in aviation – becoming a flight attendant may be your opportunity to do so!

HOW TO BECOME AN AIRCRAFT MECHANIC (FAA)

HOW TO BECOME AN AIRCRAFT MECHANIC (FAA)

Major aircraft manufacturers are predicting a need for thousands of aircraft maintenance technicians each year over the next several years as more and more airplanes are produced. So the career as an aircraft mechanic is still up-and-coming. There is the answer of how to become an aircraft mechanic.

Previously a person who was responsible for aircraft technical support was called aircraft mechanic. Now the term used in the U.S. is usually aircraft maintenance technicians (AMT). In Europe under EASA rules they are called aircraft engineers. The term of „aircraft mechanic“ will be used in this text in order to prevent confusion.

More about the aircraft mechanic job

Aircraft mechanics repair, replace, and maintain aircraft parts and components. They also perform maintenance and functional checks on aircraft systems, such as hydraulic systems, pneumatic systems, electrical systems, and others.

There are many different types of aircraft mechanics, and each one usually specializes in one particular set of skills. For example, structural mechanics work on the frame of the aircraft, while avionics technicians work on the electrical systems and components.

Airframe mechanics perform maintenance on airframe components, including the wings, fuselage, tail section, and landing gear. They are not allowed to work on engines unless they are being supervised by a certficated and properly rated person.

Powerplant mechanics have the authority to service and maintain aircraft engines but are not allowed to work on airframe components unless they are being supervised by a certficated and properly rated person.

Most mechanics in the U.S. are certified for both airframe and powerplant. Their approval is in the form of a mechanics certificate with an airframe and powerplant rating (A&P).

Avionics technicians require specialized training to peform maintenance on aircraft radios, instruments and computer systems, including radar, radio communications, and autopilot systems.

Aircraft mechanics work in hangars operated by airlines, flight schools, corporations, repair stations or maintenance repair and overhaul facilities (MRO), and often times on the ramp where airplanes are parked. Mechanics need to work fast and efficiently, in order to adhere to high safety standards and meet demanding flight schedules. They can be subject to high noise levels and strenuous physical work.

Certification and training

If you choose to go to college or a technical school to become a mechanic, all you have to do is complete high school and then apply for the course. Once you start paying your tuition, you can start your career. There are thousands of schools all over the world that offer courses in aviation maintenance.

While you do not need a license to be an aircraft mechanic, getting certified is highly recommended. Non-licensed mechanics can only work under supervision and cannot approve aviation articles for return to service.

The courses take 12-24 months to complete, and Graduates generally have a higher starting salary then mechanics who are licensed through on-the-job training.

If you live in Europe, there are many schools where you can train and qualify to become an aircraft engineer under the rules of EASA. To get certification, you need to successfully pass the oral, written and practical tests that show you are capable of undertaking the job.

In the Unites States the first and most common option to become an aircraft mechanic is by going to an Aviation Maintenance Technician School approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Specifically, the training given to students is covered under Part 147 of the FAA certificate. Completing this training means you are already prepared to take the tests easily and become FAA-certified aircraft mechanics.

It can take between 2-4 years to become an Aircraft Mechanic and in excess of 5 years to become a Certifying Engineer. Entry requirements vary but normally require you to have a Leaving Certificate having achieved a good result in maths and a science subject. This is subject to change depending on the organisation.

Aircraft mechanic salary

Talking about the average salary, for example, in United Kingdom, actual pay rates may vary, depending on where you work, the size of the company or work for the demand for the job. The starting salary for aircraft mechanics or engineers is normally around $28,500 to $33,000 a year. With experience this can rise to $45,000 and $60,000 a year. Senior engineers can earn $75,000 to $90,000 a year or more. According to „Indeed“, the average salary for aviation mechanic is around $55,230 a year or $26 per hour.

Requirements to become an aircraft mechanic:

— Scientific and technical aptitude
— An accurate, methodical and systematic approach
— A strong sense of responsibility
— Good observation and problem solving skills
— Good concentration
— The ability to understand engineering drawings
— Agility and a head for heights
— A responsible approach to health and safety regulations.

You need to be able to:

— Work carefully, accurately and at speed
— Work reliably, alone and as part of a team
— Pay attention to detail
— Meet deadlines

„For me personally, I absolutely love my career as an aircraft mechanic. I make tons of money, get to travel to different locations, and get to take as much time off as I want (well, almost). I think if more aircraft mechanics knew how to make all the money that’s out there, many more people would love the career”, experienced aircraft mechanic said.

The career as an aircraft mechanic might be rewarding and very exciting.
