A flying officer may be a teaching pilot, a deputy, a security officer, or an administrative officer and is usually responsible for staff and services.

Flight Lieutenant

A Flight Lieutenant is above a flying officer and below a squadron chief, often used in Non-English speaking countries as an English language approximation of a similar rank. A flight lieutenant’s role usually requires an expert team’s management within its division of non-commissioned officers and airmen.

Squadron Leader

The commander of an air force squadron sits just behind the flight lieutenant and he is the junior officer in the ranks who is most likely to fly a flag. The flag may be shown on an officer’s flag, or the flag may be displayed as a car flag whether the squadron leader is in command or from a flag pole.

Wing Commander

It is more possible that a wing commander commands a wing of an administrative subdivision of a PAF station. Typically a flying squadron is controlled by a wing commander but sometimes controlled by a small unit leader.

Group Captain

The group captain is a senior commissioner in many air forces. The group captain has a NATO rank code of OF-5, which means that he is above the wing commander.

Air Commodore

An officer of one-star rank is a senior commander in many of the armed forces holding a rank defined by the NATO code of OF-6. One-star officers cannot differentiate either the flag, general and air chief’s junior rankings. One-star officers in various navies are not treated as flag officers but not often. The rank of army and air force is, by itself, a rank of a general officer. The corresponding brigadier rank is generally not, however, called as an officer general.

The rank of air vice-marshal is immediately higher than the rank air commodore and subordinated to the rank of air marshal. A number of the Commonwealth air forces, where the Chief of Air Staff (now the Head of the Air Force), holding the title since 1943, also use the ranking of Air Vice Marshall.

In keeping with the laws and regulations of the Air Force Ordinance, the Air Marshal is directly assigned and promoted by the federal government. The law of Pakistan prohibits sanctioning authority by a three-star marshal as it is the second-highest rank in conjunction with additional power and advantages and could be limited by any constitutional amendment.

Air Chief Marshall, ACMPAF or Air Chief Marshal, is a four-star rank and title commissioned by the air officer, formally used for command and control in the Pakistan Air Force.
