This is a rough guide to an aviation cv as suggested to me by someone who now works for an airline:

Header - Curriculum Vitae - {Your Name}

Personal Details

Name
Married/Single
Address
Availability
Phone, Mobile, Fax and Email
Willing to relocate (leave this out if your not willing/able)
Nationality
Date of Birth

Aviation Qualifications and Experience

Details of the type of training, Integrated/Modular, where and when.
Frozen ATPL
For CAA: Perf A, CRM, LOFT
For JAA: MCC details
P1 and P2 hours (multi/single seat and types)
Experience and additional aviation related aspects

General Education

Degree (subject, grade, where and when)
A= levels (which subjects, grades and when)
Scottish Highers (which subjects, grades and when)
A/S and GCSE/O levels or O grades (how many and relevant subjects)

Career to Date

What, where and when; only emphasise those areas that are relevant to aviation, plus jobs with responsibility. (Last job first)
Hobbies, Interests and Achievements (dont include your cycling proficency test, but if you have stuff like Duke of Edinburghs Awards etc)
Everything that will make you appear more interesting than the other candidates

Remember that the recipient may be flying with you at some time in the future, so it is probably best not to add to much "padding"
You should also attempt to show that you are jolly decent chap and all round good egg. Also, if possible, try to show your potential, ideally showing that you will make future captain material.

Hope that helps in some way.
