Familiarity with GPS navigation systems, weather radar, and electronic flight bags such as ForeFlight is essential for safe flight planning and operations. Excellent situational awareness, communication, decision-making, and customer service skills set top pilots apart. These capabilities ensure safe, efficient, and professional flight operations under various conditions while meeting client and regulatory expectations.
