Abstract :This study aims to determine pilots’ perceptions of working conditions in civil aviation companies operating in Türkiye. In addi-tion, it aims to increase authorities’ awareness about problems encountered in relation to working conditions and provide in-sights about the implementation of policies to improve working conditions of pilots. A total of 7054 pilots registered to the Turk-ish Airline Pilots Association (TALPA) were sampled and their perceptions were measured by quantitative research methods to analyse the working conditions with the participation of 403 pilots. According to the findings obtained from the pilots\\\' percep-tions of working conditions, it was observed that the pilots\\\' relations with their managers and the problems they experience have an important place. According to the findings of the research, it was determined that various factors negatively affect the working conditions of pilots. In addition, as a result of the analysis, it was concluded that factors such as gender, age, nature of the job, institution where pilot training was received, flight licence, position in the institution, reason for choosing the profession, senior-ity, type of flight, and looking to the future with confidence caused differences.
