Aviation data communications manager to aviation communications and frequency coordination manager
An aviation data communications manager already meets 66% of what the aviation communications and frequency coordination manager role asks for. The move turns on 5 required skills not yet in the profile.
34.3/ 100
1 How much of what an aviation communications and frequency coordination manager is expected to do is already part of an aviation data communications manager’s work. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs, because moving into a speciality is not the same problem as moving out of one. 2 Every skill the aviation communications and frequency coordination manager role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.
Why this move works
An aviation communications and frequency coordination manager role treats 9 of its required skills as things an aviation data communications manager already does. You would walk in with these on day one.
- apply technical communication skills
- communicate in air traffic services
- have computer literacy
- manage data
- manage flight data communications programme
- monitor communication channels' performance
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 · What you already bring
Of the 11 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. An aviation communications and frequency coordination manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of an aviation data communications manager background worth leading with.
- already held manage flight data communications programme working with computers
- already held monitor communication channels' performance information skills
- already held communicate in air traffic services communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held work in an aviation team communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held manage data information skills
- already held perform multiple tasks at the same time management skills
All 11 carried skills, including the 9 the aviation communications and frequency coordination manager role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you may need to learn
The 5 missing skills fall into 4 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered in the order worth working in. Areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the optional ones. Nothing here is a verdict on you: it is a list of what this particular job asks for that your current one does not.
- still to learn apply frequency management required
- still to learn coordinate technical standards for global interoperability required
- still to learn follow airport safety procedures required
- still to learn develop data link services for navigation purposes required
- still to learn operate radio equipment required
Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries an aviation communications and frequency coordination manager role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 develop data link services for navigation purposes practise this
- 02 apply frequency management practise this
- 03 coordinate technical standards for global interoperability practise this
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
