Right now the royal household is advertising for helicopter pilots. The Queen’s Helicopter Flight is a group of pilots and ground staff who fly the royals between official engagements.

They are responsible for planning and safe flights and no doubt the role can be pressure-filled. In this particular case, the successful applicant will also support the Director of Flight Operations with management tasks and administrative duties, in other words, duties as assigned.
