Pilot Careers
There are many opportunities for pilots in the airlines. In
agriculture, pilots ensure the productivity of our nation's farms.
Pilots for government agencies play vital roles in land and wildlife
management. Traffic reporting pilots alert commuters to highway
trouble spots. Helicopter pilots fly for law enforcement, medical
and business needs. Corporate pilots allow executives to make
efficient use of their time visiting clients and distant offices.
Thousands of pilots are employed by the military and NASA. An
emerging industry of air taxis has pilots who transport passengers
to and from the nation's 5,000 public-use airports, on-demand. And
without flight instructors, there would be no professional pilots.
Most piloting jobs require a college degree and required FAA
training, testing and licensing.
Listed below are only a few pilot career opportunities for a general
idea on all that are available for you.
