Being a pilot in the Royal Air Force (RAF) or Royal Navy is a highly skilled and demanding career. RAF and Navy pilots operate a variety of aircraft, from fast jets and multi-engine planes to helicopters. Duties include flying missions, training exercises, reconnaissance, and supporting humanitarian or combat operations. The role requires quick thinking, teamwork, leadership, and a high level of technical knowledge. Training is extensive and includes both ground school and flight training. Pilots must also maintain physical fitness and pass regular medical and aptitude tests. Serving as a military pilot can lead to further opportunities within the armed forces or in civilian aviation after service.
