Exploring the Different Types of Aircraft Pilots
The aviation industry is an ever-growing and ever-changing field, and the different types of aircraft pilots play an important role in the industry. From commercial pilots to military pilots, each type of pilot serves a unique and vital purpose in the industry. In this article, we’ll take a look at the different types of aircraft pilots and how to become certified for each.
Commercial Pilots
Commercial pilots are perhaps the most well-known type of aircraft pilot, as they are responsible for the operation of commercial aircraft, such as airliners and cargo carriers. In order to become a commercial pilot, one must obtain a Commercial Pilot License (CPL) from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). To obtain a CPL, the applicant must pass a written and practical exam, as well as prove medical fitness, and obtain the appropriate ratings. After obtaining the CPL, the pilot must complete a certain number of hours of flight time in order to become certified.
Military Pilots
Military pilots are responsible for the operation of military aircraft, such as fighter jets and bombers. To become a military pilot, one must enlist in the military as an officer and then complete the necessary training before being certified to fly. The training typically involves classroom instruction, simulator training, and actual flight time. After completing the training, pilots may be required to take additional tests and exams in order to stay current on their skills.
Corporate Pilots
Corporate pilots are responsible for the operation of corporate aircraft, such as business jets and corporate helicopters. In order to become a corporate pilot, one must obtain a Corporate Pilot License (CPL). Similar to the CPL for commercial pilots, the CPL for corporate pilots requires the applicant to pass a written and practical exam, as well as prove medical fitness, and obtain the appropriate ratings. In addition to the CPL, corporate pilots may also need to obtain a type rating, which is specific to the make and model of aircraft they will be flying.
Conclusion
In conclusion, there are a variety of different types of aircraft pilots, each with their own unique requirements and responsibilities. Commercial pilots are responsible for the operation of commercial aircraft, military pilots are responsible for the operation of military aircraft, and corporate pilots are responsible for the operation of corporate aircraft. In order to become certified for each type of pilot, the applicant must pass written and practical exams, as well as obtain the necessary ratings and flight time.
