Military aviation occupations

Military aviation occupations

Military aviation occupations are types of work either shared with commercial aviation or unique to military air forces that provide skills to design, operate and particularly engage in aerial combat in during military operations.[citation needed] These occupations are characterised by the unique aspect of human performance in an environment unnatural to the species, and includes a considerable level of stress due to this. The occupations are also characterised by the need for higher education in most occupations due to the complexity of most electrical and mechanical systems involved in aircraft designs and their maintenance on the ground, in control of airspace and in the air.
