Aviation is a new industry working on the up to the mark principle of precision. After 80’s it grows rapidly and became one of the most rapidly growing industry of the world. One of the most important aspects of the aviation is that there is no chance of mistakes in this field, so either one should be perfect in this field or required a proper training for entering in this field.
