The Ups and Downs of Being a Pilot

Have you ever thought about being a commercial airline pilot? Being a commercial
airline pilot is a challenging job. However, some aspects of a pilot’s job can be boring, and
pilots often have to work inconvenient hours. This can be a problem both for the pilot and
the pilot’s family. Did you know that a pilot’s work begins before the plane takes off? Two
or three hours before the flight, the pilot sits down with the flight dispatcher to plan the
flight. They plan the exact route the aircraft will take from the information they gather
about the weather, the passengers, and the amount of cargo.
The pilot also checks the plane for technical or mechanical problems by “warming it
up” before the flight. Pilots often say that the worst thing about flying is sitting in the
cockpit, where there is hardly any room to move. Once the plane is in the air, the pilot
puts the controls on autopilot for much of the flight. On very long flights, a pilot may take
2
a break for three or four hours, leaving the co-pilot to fly the aircraft. Pilots aren’t
wealthy, but with some airlines they can earn up to $100,000 a year. If you want to
become a pilot, you need excellent health and a good sense of coordination.
You also have to have the ability to lead a crew and to remain calm under pressure.
Being a pilot would be difficult for someone who does not respond well to stress because
we depend on a pilot’s self-control and skills.
21. T F Being a commercial airline pilot is challenging.

22. T F The flight dispatcher helps the pilot to fly the plane.
23. T F The autopilot is only used when the plane is in the air.
24. T F Once the plane is in the air, the co-pilot has nothing to do.
25. T F The worst thing for the pilot is the lack of space in the cockpit.

27. Maria (did / made / offered) an apology to the teacher.
