The content and form of professional training of aviation personnel, the level of their training, and usability is therefore a current agenda and a challenge for the future. The main goal of the article is to identify and describe the initial state of training requirements of selected specializations, within the requirements for air personnel for the Air Force of the Armed Forces of the Slovak Republic, as a specific air operator. The methodology of solving the problem is based on historical and content analysis of previous experience and aviation practice, induction, deduction, and synthesis of knowledge for formulating the target state of training of selected specializations for aviation. The result is the requirements and baseline for the specializations of a military pilot, air traffic controller, and technician. The partial outputs are part of a feasibility study to support decision-making processes on the way forward in meeting the strategic goal in the field of training of air personnel for the Air Force.
