What are the Important Pilot Competencies?

Being in the career of Aviation or Pilot needs a blend of skills. It's not all technical and mathematical. You have to think creative manner, work under pressure and embrace a mentality fitting for a bit part of such significant responsibility. Pilots not just need the qualities of a leader but also have better communication skills and perform extraordinary as a team's part.

1.Clear Communication

To be in a successful position in any job, communication plays an important role. It is significant for Pilots. In a real manner, incomplete or incorrect Pilot-controller communication is a factor in near about 80 flight's proportion accidents or incidents. The communication's priority between controller and Pilot is to set up the below:

·         Purpose:Instruction,clearance, proposal or conditional statement,confirmation request or question.

·         When: immediately, expected or anticipated

·         What and how: altitude (climb, maintain, descend), Airspeed, heading ( right or left)

·         Where: Before or at a waypoint.

2.Situational Awareness

Situational awareness reveals to appreciate everything which is going on all over flying, maintaining, and controlling an Aircraft. Pilots ought to learn for having a location's mental picture, conditions of the flight, Aircraft's energy state and configuration as well as all the factors which could put impact its safety. Irrelevant situational awareness can show outcomes in control's loss, Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT), separation’s loss, Airspace infringement, or a confrontation with bad conditions of weather.

3.Team-Working Skills

Team-working and communication skills work simultaneously. But, in the career of Aviation or Pilot,' team working skill' has to be at the top. Now, you are thinking about the reason of its significance for cabin crew and Pilots for working well as a team.

As an Airline Pilot, you can do work within a cohesive team. Pilots have to perform in a close manner with other Pilots on the flight deck, as well as with flight dispatchers and Air traffic controllers. They have the capability of coordinating the actions and reveal honest and clear feedback.

4.Decisiveness

Resources and time constraints along with other factors such as turbulence could put an obstacle in decision-making for Pilots. When Pilots face any problems or conditions of emergencies, a checklist is put in practice, specifying the procedures for implementation for overcoming the situation. But, not all portions of the emergency checklist explicitly reveals the actions which a Pilot requires to do, not all about encompassing.

5.Quick Thinking Skills

Pilots have to think in a cool manner so that they cannot make wrong decisions and receive bad results. They not only have to create a correct decision but also set up their minds in a quick manner. Mostly, there is no individual correct decision. The Pilot is needed for making sound judgments for making the appropriate possible decisions for a particular condition.

Below are some instances of difficult circumstances which Pilots have to finalize their decisions:

Emergencies

·         Diversions: Not intended for emergency conditions but mainly for a safety precaution. It needs proper coordination with ATC, dispatch, and operations at the passengers, field, or maintenance.

·         Forced Landings: The Pilot has to choose an attribute for committing for landing. It consists of various considerations for example field quality, winds, distance, obstacles, and civilization.

To be successful in the career of Aviation or the role of Pilot, all the above Competencies are of high significance.
