Role Overview: First Officer / Pilot
For most people, the job they associate most with the aviation industry is that of a pilot. What many people may not know is that there are many types of pilot jobs besides those of flying as captains for commercial airlines. There is a wide range of aircraft that require many kinds of flight crew. In addition, the aircraft may be used for a variety of purposes and that affects the nature of the job. For example, while some aircraft may have a pilot, copilot or first officer, and a flight engineer or second officer, other aircraft may only need a pilot and first officer, or even just a pilot. An airplane, also known as a fixed wing aircraft, may have one or more engines.
