Main workplaces

Commercial Aviation Pilots, Flight Mechanics they work in air transport companies, inside aircraft, at irregular hours. Flight mechanics are salaried employees, with registration in the portfolio, the other occupations are performed by self-employed professionals. They work under pressure and uncomfortable positions for long periods. Sometimes with exposure to toxic material, radiation, intense noise and also ear damage, viral contamination and gravity acceleration.

What does it take to work in the field of Commercial Aviation Pilots, Flight Mechanics

These occupations are performed by self-employed professionals with specific qualifications, in the areas in which they are working. Intermediate level training is required, plus vocational courses, with a minimum duration of two hundred class hours as private helicopter pilots. To pursue a career as a commercial pilot, they must take another course of more than two hundred class hours, taught at aviation schools. After completing the courses, professionals are qualified by the Civil Aviation Department (DAC), which grants them licenses to work in the area. Pilots can assume different roles within the aircraft, such as commander or co-pilot. Flight mechanics, on the other hand, must have technical training in mechanics, with specialization in aircraft. They are assistants to the commanders and operate the aircraft's internal systems, under constant supervision. In modern airplanes, with automatic controls, there is no need for these professionals, being an occupation in extinction. Agricultural pilots typically work five months a year, spraying is a seasonal activity. All these professionals are exposed to radiation, intense noise, subject to ear damage, cataracts and viral contamination.
