Aviation analysts predict that air traffic will grow by an estimated five percent per year for the foreseeable future. World air traffic will double in 15 years and nearly triple in 20 years. There is global demand, particularly in developing nations, for highly trained professional pilots.

BECOME A PILOT
Becoming a professional pilot in the competitive field of aviation can lead to a satisfying and well paid career. Employment opportunities are provided by major airlines, smaller commuter airlines, freight and charter operators, and flight training organisations on completion of applicable ratings and licence endorsements. Dedication, commitment, and good quality initial training are necessary to start a successful flying career.

Choosing a Pilot Training Program
Your career in aviation starts with selecting a training organisation that provides prospective professional pilots with high level skills, knowledge and the ability to fly safely and confidently. While costs are a significant factor in flight training, quality training is the first priority. Some flight training organisations specialise in training recreational pilots and those who have the time and money to fly occasionally. These schools often use basic training aircraft to minimise course costs. In many cases, commercial airlines do not accept pilots trained in this type of environment unless they have accumulated significant experience beyond their initial training.

Your choice of school should be based on what you hope to achieve. If your aim is a career in aviation as a professional airline pilot, you need to choose a school that provides:
integrated, full time training programs
international recognition

RMIT University programs provide a strong foundation for achieving your aviation career goals.
