Remote A320 Simulator Instructors often face challenges related to engaging students and ensuring effective communication without being physically present. Technical issues, such as connectivity problems or simulator software glitches, can also disrupt training sessions.

What are Remote A320 Simulator Instructors?

Remote A320 Simulator Instructors are aviation professionals who provide training and guidance to pilots using A320 flight simulators from a remote location. They use advanced communication tools and simulator software to instruct, observe, and evaluate pilots' performance during simulated flight scenarios. These instructors ensure pilots are proficient in operating the Airbus A320 and help them maintain or achieve necessary certifications. The remote aspect allows for flexible scheduling and broader access to training without the need for both instructor and trainee to be physically present at the same location.

Job description

We are looking for Full-time, Remote Pilot Operator (RPO) candidates to join the SAIC Controller Training Solutions (CTS) team at the Washington National ATCT (DCA), located in Washington, D.C., 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 air traffic 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.
