PILOT

An aircraft pilot or aviator is a person who controls the flight of an aircraft by operating
its directional flight controls. Some other aircrew members, such as navigators or flight
engineers, are also considered aviators, because they are involved in operating the
aircraft's navigation and engine systems.

Job duties may vary depending on the type of pilot, there are some that are common
among pilots. Aside from flying the aircraft safely, a pilot's tasks and duties may include
the following:
*Performing pre- and post-flight aircraft inspections
*Selecting safe and efficient flight routes
*Determining risks that may occur
*Keeping accurate records for compliance purposes
*Communicating with required agencies and personnel
*Ensuring the safety and comfort of the passengers, crew, and aircraft

Job Outlook
There were roughly 124,800 jobs available as of 2016. The BLS expects the industry to
continue to grow by 4% through 2026, which is a much lower rate than the 7% average
for other jobs. Openings will become available as people retire from the industry. That
means competition in the field will be strong, as there will be more pilots than job
openings by 2026.
