🔥 Hot role $12 - $25/hr Worldwide Remote · worldwide domain-expert Contract / freelance
Pay rate · $12 - $25/hr

Aviation Communications Transcriber (AI Training)

About the Role

  • We're building next-generation AI systems for aviation and autonomous flight — and we need people who actually understand what's happening on the radio.
  • This isn't generic transcription work. We're looking for pilots, controllers, aviation students, and enthusiasts who can accurately capture real-world ATC and pilot communications and turn them into high-quality training data that powers the future of aviation AI.
  • Your work will directly contribute to AI systems designed to improve safety and autonomy in the skies.

What You'll Do

  • Transcribe real-world ATC ↔ pilot audio recordings with precision
  • Label speakers, callsigns, instructions, and read-backs accurately
  • Correctly capture aviation-specific terminology, abbreviations, and standard phraseology
  • Work through task-based assignments independently, at your own pace
  • Consistently meet quality and accuracy standards on every submission
  • ---

Who You Are

  • A pilot, student pilot, air traffic controller, or aviation professional
  • An aviation enthusiast with a strong working knowledge of radio communications
  • Someone who can recognize and correctly transcribe standard ICAO/FAA phraseology
  • Extremely detail-oriented — you notice when a readback is slightly off
  • Patient and focused when working with fast-paced, noisy audio
  • No formal transcription background required — aviation knowledge is what matters
  • ---

Why This Work Matters

  • ATC communications are complex, fast, and filled with domain-specific language that generic AI simply can't handle well. The accurate, expert transcriptions you provide become the training signal that helps aviation AI systems understand real-world communications — improving safety systems, autonomous flight tools, and pilot assistance technologies.
  • This is rare, meaningful work that only people with your background can do well.

  • Flexible, self-directed schedule with no fixed hours
  • Task-based workflow — take on as much or as little as fits your life
  • Top-quality contributors receive priority access to more assignments
  • Be part of a cutting-edge AI project at the intersection of aviation and technology
