What does a “missionary pilot” do ?
A missionary pilot is typically somebody in full time Christian missionary work, often in a foreign country. Missionary pilots do lots of different things. Some are pilots who concentrate on providing flight services like flying supplies to other missionaries, or emergency medivac flights for remote areas with no medical facilities. Others are missionaries in the traditional sense who preach God’s word to the world and happen to use an airplane to get around or reach remote areas. Since these flight operations are often in underdeveloped countries, missionary pilots need special skills like aircraft maintenance, short/rough field experience, mountain flying, and remote region navigation.
