The principal activities of the Guild are centred on sponsoring and encouraging action and activities designed to ensure that aircraft are piloted and navigated safely by aviators who are highly competent, self-reliant, dependable and respected.  The Guild fosters the sound education and training of air pilots and air navigators from the initial training of the young pilot to the specialist training of the more mature.

Through Charitable activities, education and training, technical committee work, aircrew selection, scholarships and sponsorships, advice and recognition of the achievements of fellow aviators world wide, the Guild keeps itself at the forefront of the aviation world.
