About the Role
Are you a flight student or aviation enthusiast with a sharp ear for cockpit communications? Your understanding of aviation terminology, phraseology, and standard operating procedures will directly improve how AI interprets and processes safety-critical aviation communication — making a real impact on one of the world's most demanding industries.
This is a fully remote, flexible contract role — work on your own schedule while doing something genuinely meaningful.
- Organization: Alignerr
- Type: Hourly Contract
- Location: Remote
- Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
What You'll Do
- Listen to and transcribe real pilot-to-ATC (air traffic control) audio recordings with precision
- Review and validate AI-generated transcriptions for accuracy in aviation terminology and phraseology
- Label and annotate audio data to help AI systems understand real-world aviation communication
- Flag errors, miscommunications, or unclear audio segments using structured guidelines
- Apply your knowledge of standard aviation language (ICAO phraseology, readbacks, clearances) to ensure high-quality outputs
- Work independently and asynchronously at your own pace
Who You Are
- Currently enrolled in or recently completed a flight training program (PPL, CPL, ATPL, or equivalent)
- Familiar with standard pilot-to-ATC communication and aviation radio phraseology
- Strong listening comprehension and attention to detail
- Comfortable working with audio tools and structured data entry
- Reliable, self-motivated, and able to meet quality benchmarks independently
- No prior AI or data labeling experience required — we'll provide all the guidance you need
Nice to Have
- Logged flight hours or simulator experience
- Familiarity with ICAO or FAA communication standards
- Background in aviation safety, dispatch, or ATC
