Pilot Simba Mutsahuni outlined the key activities pilots perform before and during flights. These include gathering information on weather, routes, aircrafts, and passengers to create a detailed flight plan. Pilots must ensure the aircraft is fueled, all systems are checked, and the cabin crew is briefed. During the flight, pilots communicate with air traffic control and the cabin crew, monitor instruments, check aircraft performance and weather/traffic conditions, and communicate with passengers. They must also be prepared to respond to emergencies and weather changes. Simba Chikore added that charter aircraft can provide commercial pilots flexibility in serving different customer needs like resort travel.
