That all may seem obvious and
unnecessary, but I learned it the hard
way during the foolishness of my youth. I
may not have listened to that advice then,
but if I had your book, who knows?”
What Sort Of Company Do
You Keep?
Wherever you end up, you will have
to get used to having no real
influence except when actually
flying. In other words, you may be
The Boss in your own office (the
cockpit), but it will seem like
everyone else is in charge of you
otherwise, especially in smaller
companies, where you end up
amending publications, etc. as a
secondary duty; you're being paid
anyway, so when you're not flying
you end up in the pool of cheap
labour—no sitting at home when
you're not needed!
Companies differ in what they allow
you to get away with. In some, being
away from base with a problem may
mean ringing Ops before you make
any kind of a move. On the other
hand, you may be able to make
decisions on their behalf there and
then, which the Ops Manual (next
chapter) is supposed to help with.
Some airlines don't allow personal
items or conversation in the cockpit.
There are three types of flying,
Commercial Air Transport, Aerial Work
and Private. Being a professional
(well, potentially, anyway), you will
only be concerned with the first two.
· Commercial Air Transport exists
where payment (usually by a
passenger) is given for the use
of an aircraft, which in this
context means like a taxi, as
opposed to self-drive car hire.
You need to be aware that there
is considerable legal argument
as to when a flight comes under
Public Transport, or Commercial
Air Transport, to use the new
phrase, and you will find it
summarised in Legal Stuff
(Chapter 14). As it is so
complex, any further discussion
will be continued there. You
might find further subdivisions,
especially in Canada, into
Airline, Commuter and Air Taxi.
· Aerial Work covers other
situations where payment is still
given, but in specialised roles
not involving the usual
passenger or freight carrying,

such as photography or flying
instruction, or any other
situation where you're getting
paid to fly.
· Private flying speaks for itself, its
most distinguishing feature
being that no payment exists,
other than by the pilot, for the
right to use the aircraft in the
first place, although this in itself
could cause problems (you can
take money for some 'private
flights', but see Legal Stuff).
Within the above limits, the
companies you could get involved
with will also fall (broadly) into three
categories, with some blurring in
between, in the shape of Scheduled,
Charter or Corporate Flying.
Scheduled
“Scheduled Flying” is a legal
definition describing services that
run at predefined times with certain
conditions imposed on them, such
as being open to all classes of
passenger and the flights always
running, even though they may be
empty (many companies use this as a
form of sabotage, by sending
someone on a rival's flight just to
ensure the flight goes, otherwise they
might develop a "technical problem"
if there are no passengers, cancel it,
and save some money).
This would mean that, although
holiday flights and oilfield
helicopters do indeed move at
predefined times, they are not
subject to the other restrictions and
are not therefore "Scheduled", but as
the difference is mostly transparent,
I’ll treat them as the same. Let's just
say they are regular services.
Similarly, whilst airlines can provide
charter flights, the word commonly
covers the Air Taxi companies
within General Aviation, which itself
is a vague term—it usually means
anything below 5700 kg (12,500 lbs)
Max All-Up Weight, encompassing
Air Taxi, Flying Club and personally
owned aircraft, although the ICAO
definition excludes aerial work.
Scheduled Flying is said to be boring
(actually it is), but it does have the
advantage of being organised
anything up to 4 weeks in advance,
so you can at least have some sort of
planning in other areas of your life;
this is strictly enforced by the
authorities, and is covered more in
Chapter 7, Flight Time And Duty
Hours. Well, at least you know when
you're going, even if you're not sure
