A clearer way into aviation
Explore the aviation industry
Why 6, 10 and 13 groups?
These are overlapping ways to browse, not conflicting totals for the aviation industry.
- Six broad homepage introductions give a first orientation.
- Ten subject fields on this page connect related explanations and learning guides.
- Thirteen career sectors organise role maps and employer-evidence guides in more detail.
A role can cross several fields, so the groups are not a strict one-to-one hierarchy. Use subject fields to explore ideas and career sectors to compare work; existing page links remain available.
Ten connected fields, not ten isolated careers. Start with a subject, compare the people involved, then follow a learning path.
