TYPES OF AVIATION

There is a vast amount of areas to explore within the field of Aviation and many different types of flying.

If you want to get into Aviation but you are not sure what area is right for you, we have provided a summary for each of the main types of aviation in this section and have provided a tab for each.

Spend some time and explore your different options. Learning to fly is not your only choice. Other professionals such as aircraft mechanics and tecnicians, air traffic controllers, support personnel etc. are needed to keep aircraft in the air.

Whatever you do in aviation is your choice and regardless of what you choose you are welcome as part of the aviation community.

"As our civilization advances, if our follies permit to advance, I feel sure we will realize that progress can be measured only by the quality of life - all life, not human life alone. The accumulation of knowledge, the discoveries of science, the products of technology, our ideals, our art, our social structure, all the achievements of mankind have value only to the extent that they preserve and improve the quality of life."

- Charles A. Lindbergh
