AOPA offers guide to flying careers
Whether you are an airline transport pilot, certificated flight instructor, or low-time pilot building hours, finding a flying career that fits your flying style could mean the difference between viewing your job as work and having fun every day.
AOPA's Guide to Flying Careers offers an overview of aviation careers from airline to corporate aviation and from agricultural flying to aerial fire fighting. If you'd like to work for the government, the guide provides descriptions of jobs available with eight government agencies.
The guide provides an overview of estimated salaries for airline, business aviation, air taxi, law enforcement, medical evacuation, broadcast, and scenic pilots, to name a few. Experience and total-time requirements are described in each flying career, and links to other publications and associations provide access to more information.
Twenty-five articles from AOPA Flight Training provide insight on how to apply and interview for jobs, describing details from your résumé and flight experience to attire.
If you have questions about the various flying careers, AOPA's specialists in the Pilot Information Center are available weekdays between 8:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. Eastern time at 800/USA-AOPA.
