The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO),

924

The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), pronounced, (in French: Organisation de l'aviation civile internationale, OACI), is a specialized agency of the United Nations. It codifies the principles and techniques of international air navigation and fosters the planning and development of international air transport to ensure safe and orderly growth. Its headquarters are located in the Quartier International of Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

The ICAO Council adopts standards and recommended practices concerning air navigation, its infrastructure, flight inspection, prevention of unlawful interference, and facilitation of border-crossing procedures for international civil aviation. In addition, the ICAO defines the protocols for air accident investigation followed by transport safety authorities in countries signatory to the Convention on International Civil Aviation, commonly known as the Chicago Convention.

The Air Navigation Commission (ANC) is the technical body within ICAO. The Commission is composed of 19 Commissioners, appointed by the Council. Commissioners serve as independent experts, who although nominated by their states, do not serve as state or political representatives. The development of Aviation Standards and Recommended Practices is done under the direction of the ANC through the formal process of ICAO Panels. Once approved by the Commission, standards are sent to the Council, the political body of ICAO, for consultation and coordination with the Member States before final adoption.

The ICAO aircraft type designator is a three- or four-character alphanumeric code designating every aircraft type (and some sub-types) that may appear in flight planning. These codes are defined by the International Civil Aviation Organization, and published in ICAO Document 8643 Aircraft Type Designators. ICAO codes are used by air traffic control and airline operations such as flight planning. They are not the same as the IATA codes encountered by the general public, which are used for airline timetables, etc.


The following is a partial list of ICAO type designators for aircraft used, or formerly used, by airlines.

Aviation Recession in Canada Airlines feel the Recession Air travel way down as consumers, Air Businesses tighten their belts


 It’s a tough time for the airlines, with passenger and cargo traffic down and projections of fewer air travelers this summer as the nation struggles to recover from a recession.
That makes it a challenge for airports to hold onto the air service they have, much less be able to persuade airlines to introduce new service.

“It’s very, very tough to expand air service when fewer people are flying,” said aviation consultant Michael Boyd, president of Boyd Group Inc. in Evergreen, Colo. “The airlines are cutting capacity.”
Leisure travel drops when the economy dips, and some companies reduce business travel expenses by having executives conduct meetings by video conferences, said Iftikhar Ahmad, Dayton’s aviation director.
Officials of Dayton International Airport and other airports regularly talk with airline executives in hopes of getting new flight service, as well as maintaining relations to keep existing service.

“It is harder to bring in more service,” Ahmad said. “If people are not flying, what is the air service for?”
Still, Dayton airport management aggressively courts new service and offers airlines an incentive package as a lure, Ahmad said.

He declined to give details, as his airport competes with those of Columbus, Cincinnati and Indianapolis, but said that airlines can get breaks for a year or two from fees and other charges for landings, ticket counters, office space, baggage belts and gate areas. The amount of incentives would depend on how much business an airline could bring in and what destinations it promised, Ahmad said.
Airlines are cutting flights in response to the drop in passenger traffic.

Airline schedules for the upcoming third quarter of 2009 show a 14 percent reduction in scheduled domestic departures, according to the Air Transport Association, an industry organization.
A highlight of 2008 for Dayton International Airport was Air Canada’s decision to resume nonstop service between Dayton and Toronto, a gateway for southwestern Ohio business travelers to other international destinations including Tokyo.


But also in 2008, as increasing aviation fuel prices took a toll, AirTran Airways ended the nonstop Dayton-to-Las Vegas service it had begun in August 2007.
In March, the softening economy prompted Northwest Airlines to put on hold its plan to offer a nonstop daily flight beginning May 2 between Dayton and Memphis, Tenn.
Delta Air Lines, which has merged with Northwest and is coordinating the blending of flight schedules, has indicated it might revive that plan

Creating the future together with Swiss Air




818

Even in the time of Global Aviation Recession  SWISS is looking for employees who will make their mark in our multi-cultural teams. People who will encourage open and collaborative dialogue together with constructive criticism. Team members who will achieve mutual goals with dynamism and energy. Welcome to SWISS Air.

Pilot profile

The cockpit crew of a SWISS Airliner consists of at least two people: the Captain, also called the Commander, is ultimately responsible for his or her crew, operation and the aircraft. The First Officer (or Co-Pilot) is Second-In-Command and supports the Captain in all matters. It is routine for both captain and first officer to fly the plane in turns.

No day is ever quite the same

An Airline Pilot’s field of activity is very varied and begins with flight planning, weather analysis and calculating take-off: an in-depth knowledge of the aircraft technology is therefore essential. As the person in charge and decision-maker in a complex technical environment, the captain takes daily responsibility for his or her crew and passengers. During the flight, severe weather conditions and complex navigation, among other things, provide a challenge.

As Pilot, you represent SWISS and act as a manager would, albeit in a rather unusual professional workspace. You coordinate the operation of numerous interfaces both domestically and abroad, and make sure that the flight proceeds efficiently and safely. The role of Pilot is a fascinating one, and requires a high degree of service awareness, linguistic competence, flexibility, decisiveness and an interest in complex and networked technology. Your dream job will play out on an international stage, and each flight will be an experience in itself.

Career
After completing his or her training at SWISS Aviation Training (SAT), a Pilot will enter professional life at SWISS as a first officer on short flights. After a few years, Pilots are assigned to SWISS global long-haul routes where they will Pilot an Airliner as second-in-command and manage the entire flight operation together with the commander. A few years on, and after further training modules, the Pilot will take the most significant step of his or her career and qualify as commander – the captain of the plane.

Becoming a Pilot

Those who match up to SWISS requirements and pass the aptitude test stand a good chance of getting a contract as well as financial support from SWISS.

Aptitude test and selection procedure
All applicants must go through a multi-stage selection procedure to become a Pilot at SWISS. The various stages assess the candidate’s intelligence, aeronautical talent, medical condition, personal suitability and knowledge (e.g. geometry, physics and maths). No previous aeronautical knowledge is required in order to pass the aptitude test.

One particular aptitude test for all Pilot training pathways is offered by SPHAIR. SPHAIR is an air force training platform supported by the federal government that is designed to enable young Swiss citizens aged between 17 and 20 to get into the aviation industry. SPHAIR offers a multi-stage aptitude test comprising an assessment of performance and knowledge as well as a 2-week aeronautical training period. Interested parties can find out all about being a professional Pilot and gain some initial flying experience. The courses are run by experienced specialists in civil aviation and the air force.

SWISS recognises the SPHAIR certificate, and offers a simplified selection procedure for applicants who include the appropriate SPHAIR certificate and performance appraisal (minimum requirement “recommended unreservedly for training as a professional Pilot”) with their application. Although these applicants have to go through the entire process just like all the other candidates as the first stage of the procedure is not selective, SPHAIR applicants will be invited to the second test stage regardless of their test results.

Training at SWISS Aviation Training
After successfully passing the aptitude test, trainee Pilots will undergo an 18 to 23-month training period depending on their course. Training involves subjects such as Radio Navigation, Flight Instruments and Human Performance and Limitations, as well as corporate training modules withcompanies such as Skyguide and Meteo Schweiz.

Basic training is divided up into theory modules, flight phases and training in the simulator. During the flight phases, the trainees will initially fly single-engine planes, followed by twin-engines, both domestically and abroad. Successful completion of training at SWISS AviationTraining is normally followed by a Type Rating Training (training on a particular type of aircraft), and then a route introduction at SWISS.

Business Suit





We often equate casual dress with more relaxed activities, so if you’re trying to accomplish something – dress up!


 Put on a proper Business Suit or somewhat formal outfit, including shoes and socks. 


Do your hair, shave, and put on cologne or perfume – whatever you would normally do for a social or business event. 


This gets your mind into action mode and clears away any tendency to slack off.
