章節(jié)摘錄

　　The Militarr anders in　　Aviation is much more than flying an airplane; it is a whole field of careers in computer and mechanical sciences， communications， education， law， medicine， and management. Avia- tion in the U.S. Armed Services takes place on land and at sea as well as in the air. In the Army， for example， 26 of 212 jobs touch on aviation in some way. These jobs exist in the areas of field artillery， dectronic maintenance and certification， aircraft maintenance， and aviation operations.　　Av/on/cs is a key specialty; it focuses on flight-control systems. The word is derived from the old phrase "aviation electronics. " In avionics one might design， build， or maintain the electronic instruments used in flight. These instruments permit communications between air- craft and with the ground， and they control steering， speed， altitude， and even the deploy- ment of an aircrafts weapons. Air traffic-control systems also depend on avionics. These sys- tems track and coordinate the movements of aircraft as they take off and land.　　Some aviation jobs in the Armed Services require skills such as medical training. The U.S. Goast Guard， for instance， is dedicated to the patrol and safety of American waters. Rescue crews may have to fly through storms and around obstacles， jump into raging seas， transfer victims to helicopters or ships， and administer first aid. Such work is both physically demanding and extremely dangerous.　　Pilots in todays military service operate every kind of aircraft there is， including small helicopters， gigantic transport planes， fighter jets， and the space shuttle. Military pilots hold the rank of officer and are both well educated and highly trained. In the Navy， future pilots must have earned a bachelors degree before they may attend Aviation Officer Candidate School. Their basic flight and navigation training includes academic study and physical-fitness training as well as flying lessons. The next phases of training are designed to improve their skills and prepare them for specific missions.　　For some eager pilots， the sky will never be the limit. Many of these aficionados of flight see the military as the direct road to outer space， as astronauts; but not all astronauts are pi- lots， of course. Mission and payload specialists are responsible for equipment maintenance， care of the astronauts health and needs， and scientific research conducted in space.
