5 Miscellaneous Aviation careers

Have you ever thought of anything else as an Aviation career except for pilots, Technicians, Air Hostesses, or Air Traffic controllers? Then this is the blog for you. Here at Aeronefs, we help people who are looking for a career in the aviation industry. Now what I have observed in most people is that they know a little about this whole industry.

Suppose if I say someone that currently pursuing Aircraft Maintenance Engineering their mind will immediately say it’s a B.E or B.Tech. So this is an observation that people are very much unaware of the aviation industry. If I start explaining to them that it is licensed engineering they give me a blank stare.

People are very much unaware of aviation careers and how they can be pursued and how they can be approached, etc. In this blog, I will give you insights into the other career opportunities in aviation.

“Think OutSide the box”

John Adair

This I feel is highly applicable while choosing your career. Wise men say to think outside of your confined mind and explore the other opportunities. A lot of Aviation careers are present in the Aviation Industry what you need is to look around and explore the allied branches and may opt for the niche courses present in the aviation industry.

So let us start with the miscellaneous aviation careers you can choose in your life as of 2022:

Most airlines use aviation market intelligence tools to analyze who is flying where. Sometimes this information can come from the airline itself; when they see a pattern of people flying from A to B and then on to C, if there are enough then a route directly from A to C makes sense. You can pursue courses on flight planning and there you’ll learn about flight planning, navigation systems, fuel requirements, plotting charts, and other necessary skills required for the job.

Security as an Aviation Career

Often people ignore various career options in aviation, Security is one of them. Airport security refers to the techniques and methods used in an attempt to protect passengers, staff, aircraft, and airport property from accidental/malicious harm, crime, terrorism, and other threats.

Security is of prime importance in the aviation industry they are paid well and are trained for the protection and safety of the passengers. BCAS is the authority in India for Aviation security training.

Aircraft Accident Investigator

Aircraft Accident investigator is a branch in Aviation. An aircraft accident investigator has to work out exactly how and why an aircraft accident happens. It may appear to be a gruesome task but is in fact very rewarding.

It is a position that is essential to the aviation industry to keep us flying safe, as every accident is usually made up of a chain of events – the Aircraft Accident Investigator has to link those chains of events and then apply measures to stop those links from happening again. It is a promising aviation Career and investigators are paid a handsome amount.

o become an aircraft accident investigator you should have a good high school education and preferably a bachelor’s degree in aeronautics or aircraft engineering. You may also be a pilot, so will need to pass a medical and have a PPL (Private Pilot’s License) and a CPL (Commercial Pilot’s License).

Aviation Psychologist

n the area of aviation, aviation psychology, also known as aerospace psychology, studies attitudes, feelings, behaviour and cognitive processes. 

An Aviation Psychologist is trained to enhance aviation standards and conditions through their understanding of psychology and provides pilots, aircrew, and airport workers with mental health resources, and resolves any concerns, anxieties, or job-related pressures. This is a branch of Psychology but it can be taken as an aviation career. for careers in human factors click here.

Human factor is an important subject in aviation and it is of great importance. Therefore the job of an Aviation psychologist is quite important and it can help in the prevention of accidents and incidents. Aviation psychologists are also responsible for the proper health and safety of the technicians and flight crews as well. Hence aviation career of psychologists is also promising and rewarding.

Flight Simulator Software/Web Developer

This is for tech enthusiasts. A flight simulator is a device that artificially re-creates aircraft flight and the environment in which it flies, for pilot training, design, or other purposes. Flight Simulator Software/Web Developer is one of the aviation careers that are hired by many organizations and companies.

Media channels hire simulators to often describe any accidents and designs to the audience through their channels. Flight simulator games are also made and such skills can be employed there too. So, CSE and IT developers can look for opportunities in this sector. The use of simulation software in aviation is quite good. It helps in providing better aircraft designs and makes good pilots out of it.
