From combat missions and humanitarian aid, to being Naval Command’s ‘eyes in the sky’, the Fleet Air Arm is essential to the Navy’s success
You’ll work on, or even fly, the world’s most advanced aircraft. Like the Wildcat - a multi-role helicopter used in anti-surface warfare and counter piracy operations. Or maybe you’ll deliver the ultimate blow in the F-35 Lightning fighter jet.
You don’t need to be a pilot to serve in the Fleet Air Arm – everyone has an important part to play. Like air traffic controllers who monitor the skies and share vital information with pilots, or the engineers who make sure our aircraft are fit to fly.
Land Royal Marines in hostile territories, hunt submarines on the high seas, or land on a mountain peak for a search and rescue mission. Take off from the middle of the ocean on an aircraft carrier, or fly low in the dark with night-vision goggles. Push yourself - and our aircraft - to the limit.
Whether you dream of piloting aircraft or prefer your feet planted firmly on the ground, you can find your aviation career here. World-class training and support will help get you there and you can gain further qualifications to work with the latest and most powerful aircraft in the world.
Operating all of the Royal Navy’s aircraft, we spearhead missions across the globe - keeping a watchful eye over the high seas and striking when needed.
You’ll be working in a uniquely collaborative environment, dedicated to the kit that ensures we're operationally effective in the air.
Carve out an aviation career like no other, and specialise in fixed wing or rotary aircraft flying after general training.
Make the crucial decisions that help keep our state-of-the-art aircraft flying, our people safe, and our operations on track.

Take charge of scheduled maintenance, servicing, and inspections for aircraft to keep our airborne missions on track.
Maintain the vital lifesaving equipment that enables fellow aircrew to safely operate on land, sea, or in the air.
