What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Remote 737 Pilot, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Remote 737 Pilot, you need a commercial pilot license with a type rating for the Boeing 737, in-depth aviation knowledge, and strong decision-making abilities. Familiarity with flight simulation systems, remote piloting technology, and advanced communication tools is typically required. Excellent situational awareness, problem-solving skills, and the ability to stay calm under pressure are crucial soft skills. These competencies ensure safe, efficient operations and effective handling of in-flight situations, even when controlling the aircraft remotely.

What are some unique challenges faced by remote 737 pilots compared to traditional airline pilots?

Remote 737 pilots, such as those operating full-motion simulators or remotely piloted aircraft, often face challenges like maintaining situational awareness without physical presence in the cockpit and relying heavily on advanced communication and monitoring systems. They need to be adept at troubleshooting technical issues quickly and collaborating closely with both on-site and remote support teams. Additionally, adapting to variable schedules and time zones is common, and strong self-discipline is required to ensure safety and compliance standards are met in a remote or simulated environment.

What are Remote 737 Pilots?

Remote 737 Pilots are licensed aviators who operate Boeing 737 aircraft from a distance using advanced remote control technologies, rather than being physically present in the cockpit. These professionals use secure communication systems and simulators to control the plane, often for purposes such as cargo transport, test flights, or in support of unmanned aviation advancements. Remote piloting requires extensive knowledge of the 737's systems, strong decision-making skills, and the ability to respond quickly to changing flight conditions. Typically, Remote 737 Pilots have traditional pilot training and additional certification in remote or unmanned aircraft operation.

What is the difference between Remote 737 Pilot vs Remote Commercial Airline Pilot?

AspectRemote 737 PilotRemote Commercial Airline Pilot
CertificationsCommercial Pilot License (CPL), type ratings for Boeing 737Commercial Pilot License (CPL), type ratings for specific aircraft
Work EnvironmentRemote operations, often from home or centralized dispatch centersRemote or on-site at airline hubs, flying scheduled routes
Employer & IndustryAirlines, cargo carriers, or charter companies operating Boeing 737sCommercial airlines operating Boeing 737s in scheduled service

The Remote 737 Pilot typically operates Boeing 737 aircraft remotely, often for cargo or charter companies, with a focus on remote operations. Remote Commercial Airline Pilots also operate Boeing 737s but usually work for scheduled airlines, often flying from airline hubs. Both roles require similar certifications but differ mainly in work environment and employment type.

We are looking for a Full-time, Remote Pilot Operator (RPO) candidate to join the SAIC Controller Training Solutions (CTS) team at the Anchorage ARTCC (ZAN) in Anchorage, AK, supporting air traffic controller training services for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Job Description:
The RPO plays the role of the pilot and other controllers in the Air Traffic Controller training simulator. The RPO operates a combination of a simulated radar display and voice communication system to simulate the actions and communication of pilots and remote ATC facilities during medium and high-fidelity training exercises. RPOs receive voice commands from students, input proper entries into the automated system to simulate pilot actions, translate displayed information into appropriate ATC terminology, and respond to the student via the VCS utilizing proper phraseology.
The candidate will be required to complete the following certifications: Classroom (pass test on airspace and procedures) and Lab (perform as a Remote Pilot Operator on all positions).
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is responsible for ensuring that air traffic control specialists provide the flying public with a high level of safety and professionalism. A well-trained Air Traffic Control (ATC) workforce plays an essential role in fulfilling this responsibility. The FAA employs more than 14,000 air traffic controllers. They work in air traffic facilities of varying sizes, safely separating more than 50,000 aircraft in the National Airspace System (NAS) each day.
To provide such air traffic services, the FAA trains new air traffic control specialists and provides recurrent training to current air traffic control specialists. The FAA utilizes Contractor-provided instructional services at FAA ATC facilities throughout the U.S. and its Territories to ensure these training needs are met. The scope of the contractor-provided services includes all training and training program support to successfully train and prepare students to become fully certified air traffic controllers. SAIC must provide training and training related support services as required for all types and levels of ATC facilities.
Qualifications

  • Candidates for this position must have a minimum of a high school diploma (or equivalent) and demonstrate basic computer proficiency. Candidates must possess an ability to read and interpret materials such as diagrams and manuals, and have the ability to speak clearly and be understood
  • US Citizenship is required with the ability to obtain and maintain a Public Trust clearance

Desired Skills and Experience:
  • Experience working in a multidisciplinary team (Multimedia Developers, Quality Assurance, Instructions System Designers, Subject Matter Experts, Instructors)
  • Experience and certification in ATC Tower, TRACON or En Route simulation lab is strongly desired, but not required
  • Effective oral and written communications skills
  • Working knowledge of the FAAO JO 7110.65 is strongly desired, but not required
  • Effective team building skills
  • MS Office Suite Proficiency (Word, PowerPoint, Excel, etc.)
  • Basic familiarization of current technologic tools (tablets, notebooks, applications, etc.)
  • Basic familiarization or experience with pilot/controller communications or phraseology
