Role Type: Contractor

Location: Remote

our partner is engaging Aviation Subject Matter Experts with commercial pilot and flight operations backgrounds to contribute to a customer's specialized project. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input.

Scope of Work

  • Conduct detailed technical reviews of AI-generated content related to instrument approach procedures and cockpit briefings.
  • Validate the accuracy and completeness of FAA approach charts and terminal procedures referenced within model outputs.
  • Evaluate and verify cockpit phraseology and briefings against Part 135 operational and safety standards.
  • Assess statement-by-statement outputs for alignment with IFR procedures and best practices in flight operations.
  • Document findings, provide constructive feedback, and suggest corrections to optimize model accuracy and reliability.
  • Collaborate with project coordinators to clarify requirements and ensure deliverables meet aviation safety standards.

Preferred Qualifications

  • FAA-certificated commercial pilot with multi-engine and instrument ratings.
  • Current or prior experience as a Certified Flight Instructor Instrument (CFII) or Part 135 check-airman.
  • Deep familiarity with FAA approach charts, terminal procedures, and instrument approach briefing protocols.
  • Thorough understanding of Part 135 operations, IFR procedures, and aviation safety standards.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with experience producing or reviewing technical documentation.
  • Proven ability to evaluate complex technical content and provide clear, actionable feedback.
  • Enthusiasm for advancing aviation safety, operational excellence, and the application of expert knowledge to innovative projects.
