What Is the Aviator Inventory Survey?

The Aviator Inventory Survey (AIS) is a twice-yearly sampling of over 200,000 licensed pilots in the United States. Developed by Flightpath Economics to inform the US aviation industry, the survey data contain a wealth of current and vital information to help airlines recruit and retain professional pilots.

What Information Does the Survey Track?

  • Identifies and profiles commercial pilots accumulating time in revenue operations
  • Measures the availability and employment interest of pilots not commercially active
  • Profiles pilot inventory based on background, experience, and career motivation
  • Measures the risk of near-term attrition by pilot
  • Evaluates the importance of compensation and lifestyle factors in career progression
  • Locates and identifies pilots likely to fit your operational needs

How Will the Survey Help You?

  • Ensure the staffing of your flight operation amid increasing competition for pilots
  • Reduce the cost of acquiring new-hire pilots
  • Narrow-cast to potential new-hires on social media and through other outlets
  • Reduce new-hire training absences and optimize simulator time
  • Hire the right pilots with the right background and skills for your operation
  • Focus your recruiting efforts on pilots willing to accept your compensation and contract
  • Identify and track potential new-hire pilots before they earn an ATP
