What is civil aviation?
Civil Aviation is not only about flying an aircraft - it also
requires an understanding of the fundamentals of aerodynamics, aircraft
power plants and systems, meteorology, navigation and flight planning,
all integrated with a highly disciplined, professional flying training
program much sought after by airlines.
Modern pilots require a thorough knowledge of computer controlled flight management systems, together with the associated technology, and flight operation and crew resource management.
The world of aeronautics offers a considerable scope for an exciting and rewarding career to both males and females interested in becoming involved in the field of aviation.
Pilots are in high demand, particularly by commercial airlines, often starting with attractive salaries. Other major employers include agricultural services, aerial surveying services, aeromedical services such as the Royal Flying Doctor Service and government agencies.
