Ing. Zdeněk Houfek
A professional pilot should have many years of experience in the aviation industry and, in pilot jargon, many hours flown in a variety of conditions. In addition, pilots must obtain licences and certifications not only in the field of air transport and civil aviation safety; but also in the field of international communication and team management. A reliable pilot has experience with automatic systems as well as manual control of the aircraft.
"A good pilot is very knowledgeable not only in piloting an aircraft, but also in related areas such as aircraft operations, maintenance, navigation, and weather analysis. I have flown various types of aircraft while also acting as an airworthiness inspector. I hold CPL, MEP, IR, FI and ULL licences."
