What is a Private Pilot License?

The Private Pilot Certificate, internationally

referred to as the Private Pilot License (PPL), is your
first goal as a pilot. The PPL provides foundational
knowledge and skills for all future aircraft pilot
training.

As a Private Pilot, you can fly an airplane

day and night in visual flight conditions. In fact,
you can even carry passengers, such as friends,
family, and co-workers. You cannot fly for paid
compensation or hire. However, you can share the
operating expenses with your passengers. The PPL
is your foundation course on a pathway to an
airline pilot career.
What is a Commercial Pilot License?

A commercial pilot license, or certificate, is a type of pilot license that

allows someone to operate an aircraft for compensation.

A licensed commercial pilot may act as pilot-in-command of an aircraft

for compensation or hire, as well as carry persons or property for
compensation or hire. To put another way, holding a commercial pilot license
means you are legally allowed to get paid as a pilot. Commercial pilots are paid
to fly as a pilot, transporting cargo and passengers, as well as perform other
operations such as aerial surveying and search and rescue.
What is a Airline Transport Pilot License?

The airline transport pilot license, or in the United States of America, an

Airline Transport Pilot Certificate is the highest level of aircraft pilot
certificate. Those certified as airline transport pilots are authorized to act as
pilot in command on scheduled air carriers aircraft. However, aircraft heavier
than 12,500 lbs. still require pilots to have a "type rating" (specific to the make
and model of aircraft) certification.

What is Flight engineers?

Flight engineers have an extensive list of roles both on and off the ground. Before takeoff
begins, they must inspect the aircraft and ensure that it is safe for use. They often have a pre-flight
checklist that has to be completed before a plane is cleared to fly. These include checks for any
fluid leaks or improperly inflated tires.
What is Flight engineers?

Once the plane is airborne, the flight engineer constantly monitors all of the computer
systems and checks for any abnormalities. They are experts on all of the plane's mechanical
instruments including the fuel gauges, pressure indicators, wing flaps and even the landing gear.
The pilot can confer with the flight engineer if they have any questions or concerns about a
specific instrument and its operation. They also take a look at the weather patterns and determine
the proper amount of fuel required for the flight. Flight engineers are constantly collaborating with
the pilot, determining if any specific adjustments need to be addressed. Many flight engineers have
their pilot's license and could potentially fly the aircraft if absolutely necessary.
What is a Flight Navigator?

A navigator is the person on board a ship or aircraft responsible for its navigation.[1] The
navigator's primary responsibility is to be aware of ship or aircraft position at all times.
Responsibilities include planning the journey, advising the ship's captain or aircraft commander of
estimated timing to destinations while en route, and ensuring hazards are avoided. The navigator
is in charge of maintaining the aircraft or ship's nautical charts, nautical publications, and
navigational equipment, and they generally have responsibility for meteorological equipment and
communications. With the advent of GPS, the effort required to accurately determine one's position
has decreased by orders of magnitude, so the entire field has experienced a revolutionary
transition since the 1990s with traditional navigation tasks being used less frequently.
What is a Air traffic controller license ?

Air traffic control specialists, abbreviated ATCS, are personnel responsible for the safe, orderly,
and expeditious flow of air traffic in the global air traffic control system. Usually stationed in air
traffic control centers and control towers on the ground, they monitor the position, speed, and
altitude of aircraft in their assigned airspace visually and by radar, and give directions to the pilots
by radio.
What is a Air traffic controller license ?

The position of air traffic controller is one that requires highly specialized knowledge, skills, and abilities.
Controllers apply separation rules to keep aircraft at a safe distance from each other in their area of
responsibility and move all aircraft safely and efficiently through their assigned sector of airspace, as well as
on the ground.
Because controllers have an incredibly large responsibility while on duty (often in aviation, "on
position") and make countless real-time decisions on a daily basis, the ATC profession is consistently
regarded around the world as one of the most mentally challenging careers, and can be notoriously stressful
depending on many variables (equipment, configurations, weather, traffic volume, traffic type, special
activities, governmental actions, human factors). Many controllers, however, would cite high salaries,[1][2][3] and
a very large, unique, and privileged degree of autonomy as major advantages of their jobs.
What is a Flight Operations Officer?

Flight operations officers are responsible for and control the day to day running of an airlines control
center. They ensure that delays are minimized by ensuring that the right aircraft is at the right place, at the
right time and the right crew is present.

• Ensure that all flights are on time by monitoring the aircraft.

• They also need to ensure that the right type of aircraft is going to be used and that said aircraft is in the
right place to receive the correct maintenance.
What is an Aeronautical Station Operator?

The aeronautical station operator license is intended for personnel in charge of

communications between aircraft and air traffic controller in oceanic area where HF radio
communications are used.
What is a Air traffic safety electronics personnel?

Air traffic safety electronics personnel (ATSEP) is an International Civil Aviation Organization
term for the electronic engineers involved with the creation and support of the ground-based
electronic hardware and software systems used to support air navigation and
air traffic management.
Often employed by Air Navigation Service Providers, ATSEP are mainly engineers, technocrats,
hardware and software specialists waho are responsible for the specification, procurement,
installation, integration, calibration, maintenance, safety assurance and monitoring of these
systems. The equipment ranges from discrete specialist electronic systems to
commercial off-the-shelf computer hardware running specialist software designed and maintained
to provide a safety-of-life service to aircraft. The systems provide communication and navigation
services for aircraft, surveillance (e.g. radar), flight data processing and the brain behind air traffic
control system.
