Pilot

A pilot is someone who flies aircraft such as aeroplanes or helicopters. In the UK, pilots can work for commercial airlines, fly cargo, or even pilot private jets. The role involves operating the aircraft, planning routes, checking weather conditions, and making sure passengers and crew are safe during flights. Pilots must have a strong understanding of navigation, meteorology, and how aircraft systems work. To become a pilot, you need to complete specialist training and gain a commercial pilot's licence. The job can be exciting, as it often involves travelling to different countries and working with a team in the cockpit and cabin. However, pilots need to be highly responsible, as they are in charge of everyone on board.
