FLYING AS A CAREER
If you decide that becoming a professional pilot is right for
you, we at Cooking Lake Aviation Academy, want to help you to let your
dream take flight. Flight training towards a career in aviation requires
a lifetime of commitment, dedication, and self-sacrifice. As such, it
should not be taken likely. However, the ultimate rewards are prestige,
security, job satisfaction, high salaries, and excellent working conditions.
Commercial aviation offers a wide variety of challenging opportunities
to the qualified pilot such as charter service, flight instruction, aerial
photography, fire fighting, power line and pipe line patrol, and of course
the airlines. As aviation diversifies, the list of career opportunities
will continue to grow.
A career as an airline transport pilot is usually a long-range
goal. It takes a combination of experience and education to meet an airline’s
requirements. Airlines require more than just a commercial pilot licence.
Applicants must also have a multi-engine-instrument rating and be must
be able to demonstrate advancement of their skills and experiences through
the logging of many flight hours.
The road to becoming a professional pilot can be challenging
mentally, physically, and financially. The future for professional pilots
is bright. A great deal of hard work and dedication will put you in a
career valued by many.
FUTURE EMPLOYMENT
Forecasts suggest that commercial aviation will become the
chief means of transportation within North America and around the world.
Deregulation and early retirement by airline pilots will create a large
demand for highly qualified and experienced pilots. Although the aviation
industry tends to follow the economic curve, an aviation career can be
as stable as any other. The time to start training is now, so that
when the industry booms, your knowledge and skill level will put you in
a very marketable position.
