Aircraft pilots and flight engineers
A pilot is someone who operates and directs many forms of aircraft, including planes, helicopters, and more. As part of their job, pilots must examine the planes for damage before and after flights, make sure they’re balanced, and arrange for fuel and routes. A pilot’s duties in flight also include controlling the plane, talking to air traffic control, and keeping an eye on all the systems on board.
Instead of commercial jets flying on a regular schedule, most pilots die in disasters involving privately owned planes and helicopters.
