Multi-Crew Pilot

A Multi-Crew Pilot works as part of a flight team involving multiple pilots or cabin crew. You might be the pilot in command or perform a co-pilot role. Multi-Crew Pilots might undertake short or long haul flights transporting passengers or freight or carrying out other aerial services. You’ll be required to communicate with air traffic control and carry out various safety checks in this role.

Multi-Crew Pilots require excellent communication skills and should be able to work as part of a team. It’s important that you can adapt quickly to changing circumstances and remain calm in stressful situations. You’ll need to be able to focus for long periods of time and maintain situational awareness. You may work irregular hours and spend some time away from home.
