We’re told as kids to “shoot for the stars”. Well, how about shooting for the skies - as an airline pilot? In this episode, European airline pilot Raja Katz lets us inside the cockpit as we explore a career in aviation. How do flight school students practice flying outside an aircraft? Is a pilot’s license like a driver’s license? And what is auto-pilot really for?

The Women at Work series features episodes with international women in stereotypically male fields - finance, the culinary arts, and aviation.
