What to give to the pilot?

The selection of surprises taking into account the professional activities of people is quite reasonable. But if for representatives of the mass professions everything is relatively simple, then things are more complicated with a gift to the pilot. You can simplify your life if you take into account the main recommendations.

Difficulties in choosing something pleasant for the pilot are connected with the fact that these people have visited a lot and have seen a lot. It would seem, to surprise with something else is very difficult. But this problem does not need to be solved "head on." After all, it is enough to choose suitable aviation souvenirs or useful gifts "in the subject." And then the situation will be resolved easily, quickly and simply.

It is hardly necessary for someone to explain the importance of accuracy and meeting deadlines in aviation. Therefore, it is quite possible to give alarm clock, which will take off at the appointed time and will move around the apartment. It cannot be turned off without catching the "rocket." But one has to think about whether such a device would become too annoying for a person. It is unlikely that he will like it if something is broken due to flying.

A good choice could be three-dimensional puzzle in the form of an airplane. To please the recipient, you need to figure out which model is best suited. Some like fast airbuses, others like modern fighter jets, and still others like something from aviation history. The assembly of the puzzle sometimes takes several hours and allows you to get rid of stress, from fuss.

Pilots are, of course, distinguished by a balanced and firm character.Other people in aviation have nothing to do. Therefore, even deciding to give something for a birthday or anniversary to fill the interior, one should give preference to strict functional things. It can be:

• stylish wall clock;
• wooden shelves or cabinets in the shape of an airplane;
• Themed photo frames with clocks and pen holders.

A good gift to wear in everyday life canned glasses, a leather helmet and a warm jacket. Suppose that such attributes of the era of the emergence of aviation do not look in the cockpits of modern aircraft, but for ordinary life they will do. If a person definitely does not gravitate to the images of the past, then aviation topics can still be used. For example, buying cufflinks in the form of a propeller. Note: this accessory is also useful for those who are just going to sit at the helm.

There are professions in which quite a lot of people come just for the sake of money, fame, or for some other external reason. But piloting aircraft is hardly relevant here. And therefore it is quite appropriate to give thematic gifts even for the New Year. For real pilots, their activity is not only a means of earning money, but also a kind of hobby. Yes, romance fades over the years - and yet the donors are able to revive it again.

Encyclopedias and figures, popular literature and stories, CDs with thematic films will come in handy. And the same reputable publications may well be very expensive - no one will have the thought of "trying to get off cheaper." You can show even more originality: give a subscription to a thematic magazine.

Both in civilian and in military, and in special aviation, flight crews have to carry all the necessary things with them. And therefore, a roomy, comfortable suitcase can have considerable benefit. Alternatively, use ready-made travel bags with a set of required things. These include an inflated pillow, ear plugs and a blindfold. With the help of such accessories, pilots can arrange a comfortable rest for themselves almost everywhere.

With all the power and reliability of modern technology, it sometimes fails. It can never be ruled out that a flight does not end in an emergency landing. And therefore it is quite appropriate to give survival kits in extreme situations. It is not necessary to buy ready-made kits. You can assemble the necessary accessories with your own hands.

Usually they include:

• compasses;
• universal knives;
• signaling devices;
• individual rations;
• lanterns;
• backup batteries for them;
• sleeping bags;
• waterproof hunting matches.

A civilian pilot who is really keen on his business will almost certainly please the military aviation simulator. The choice of games of such a plan is huge. But in order to eliminate errors, you need to get acquainted in advance with the reviews of professionals on thematic forums. After all, game writers and programmers writing them are unlikely to have the necessary experience to do everything believable for a specialist.

Returning to preparation for flights, it is worth mentioning such gifts as company organizers or watches of specialized “aviation” brands.

To find out what exactly you need to buy, specialized forums will help again. One thing is for sure: do not expect to keep within a thousand rubles. Given the requirements of most airlines, it will be appropriate to give electric razors. Preference should be given to compact, lightweight models. The same can be said about the choice of a miniature iron.

It is better if it is designed for communication standards adopted in different countries. Otherwise, the rules for selecting mobile phones are the same as usual. A good idea would be a digital camera or camcorder.

If a person already has these gadgets, it is worth taking a look at the covers for them, memory cards and other accessories. Since pilots often have to wait hours to send (due to bad weather, technical malfunctions or airport procedures), they will very well accept e-books and other gadgets for such cases.

The universal choice will be laptop, netbook or tablet. At the same time, it’s nice to supplement your mobile computer with a compact printer and USB modem. The first device will help you quickly print prepared documents, the second - does not require comments.

Despite the severity and technical complexity of aviation, quite a few women are present in it. And it's not just about small aircraft of flying clubs. This is not uncommon at the helm of a passenger airbus, and even in the cockpits of military aircraft and helicopters. Therefore, the question arises - what to give in such cases. The whole variety of ordinary gifts, which are acquired by March 8, suggests itself. But we must take into account the specifics of the profession, of course.

You can buy a bag or a suitcase on wheels, which are very convenient in some cases. The logical idea is to purchase covers and covers for official documents. To emphasize the individuality of the gift, choose personalized covers. You can show your own originality by handing:

• mugs or T-shirts with thematic drawings, inscriptions;
• custom chocolate with the same inscriptions;
• caskets;
• decorations.

Of course, the choice does not end there. Most pilots will be happy to have a change of clothing. And even from not too close people they will warmly accept a tie as a gift. But you can also consider other options:

• notebook or notebook with corresponding images;
• mug with constellations;
• thematic collection coins;
• table games;
• soft toys in the aviation style;
• T-shirts, sweatshirts, shirts, towels;
• calendars
• flasks;
• binoculars;
• thermoses.

Civil aviation pilots will be happy with impression gifts, such as:

• flights in aerotubes, in a balloon or hang glider;
• Skydiving;
• karting.

In addition to gifts related to aviation, practical gifts will be useful for any pilot. Details can be found in the video below.
