1 Share of the aviation data communications manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the aircraft pilot profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.

Why

Why this move works

A aviation data communications manager role treats 8 of its required skills as things a aircraft pilot already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • common aviation safety regulations
  • communicate in air traffic services
  • have computer literacy
  • perform risk analysis
  • tolerate stress
  • use different communication channels

What stands in the way is 5 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 8 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A aviation data communications manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a aircraft pilot background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held communicate in air traffic services communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held work in an aviation team communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held common aviation safety regulations business, administration and law
  • already held tolerate stress management skills
  • already held perform risk analysis information skills
  • already held write work-related reports communication, collaboration and creativity

All 8 carried skills, including the 8 the aviation data communications manager role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 7 missing skills fall into 4 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.

Skill to acquire Tier
01 communication, collaboration and creativity 2 required
  • required, not held apply technical communication skills required
  • required, not held present reports required
02 information skills 2 required

Note

How this record was compiled

Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
