Corporate aviation is sometimes referred to as business aviation. A company uses these private airlines for personal travel or to transport goods to avoid relying on commercial aviation. Corporate aviation jobs include corporate pilots and maintenance technicians. As a corporate pilot, you perform many of the same duties as a commercial pilot; you ensure the engine and fuel levels are ready for takeoff, ensure the aircraft is below the weight limit, and communicate with air traffic control. Duriung the flight, you navigate the aircraft along your specific route by using cockpit instruments and visual references, and you know how to handle emergencies or bad weather. As a maintenance technician, you perform preventative maintenance and make any necessary repairs on the aircraft. Maintenance technicians may work inside or outside of a hangar and typically collaborate with a team of other maintenance technicians.
