Career
The opportunities in aviation are endless.
In the next 10 years, thousands of professional
pilots will retire and they will need to be replaced with
new professional commercial pilots. The world economy is predicted to
grow at a rate in excess of 5% and the demand
for air travel is predicted to grow at a rate of
8%.
Looking at the order book for the
big aircraft manufacturers is very promising. Thousands of new aircraft are scheduled to be
delivered within the next 5 years, and this does not
even include the options that were taken on new
aircraft. Since the 1970's, there has not
been a better time to be a pilot...until now.
Pilot
hiring will continue to increase, and this means
that the minimum hour requirements will drop
down to record lows. This results in many
opportunities for the low time pilots, but it can
also be the biggest career killer. Being
successful in the interview, being accepted to
go to the simulator training and then failing
the simulator type rating training or the
Initial Operating Experience (IOE) for a flight
department could mean the end of your flying
career. When an individual fails the aircraft
training either in the simulator or during IOE,
the documents of your failure become a part of
your permanent training and pilot record.
This record is available for every employer upon
hiring, and it is mandatory for the employer to
request this record from the government who
issued the pilot license. Failing the practical
aircraft training labels the applicant as "non-trainable", and in most cases it is the end
of the pilot's professional flying career.
Many
corporate departments have a
simulator evaluation as part of the interview
process. These evaluations are always flown in
jet aircraft simulators, and most applicants
without previous jet experience have a difficult
time flying the simulator in simulated
instrument conditions because of unfamiliarity
with jet aircraft operations.
Completing the jet transition
course will give the applicant the required
knowledge and flying skill to pass the employer's simulator evaluation.
Additionally, it will prepare the applicant for
the practical type rating training on the
aircraft the pilot will be flying.
If the
company is requiring a type rating on the
aircraft before you can get hired, SkyBlue Jet
Aviation offers type ratings for the entry
level aircraft. If the applicant wants to let
the resume look more attractive, have more qualifications, and
wants to reduce the
risk of failure to zero, completing the jet
transition course followed by the specific
aircraft training is the ultimate preparation
for a career as a professional pilot.
