Default Re: Aviation Safety Career

I believe they only really take people who have been pilots for these type positions. A base requirement is 1000 hours of PIC time. They also talk about preferred past experience in the following areas: 1) flight safety officer, 2) flight operations supervisor, 3) aircraft maintenance supervisor, 4) designated pilot examiner, 5) flight instruction supervisor, 6) chief pilot of a scheduled air carrier or air taxi operation, 7) flight test pilot.
In addition they require the following tickets and ratings:
1) Possession of a valid commercial pilot certificate with an instrument airplane rating or airline transport pilot certificate.2) Possession of ASEL and AMEL Ratings.3) Possession of a first or second class Airman's Medical Certificate which must be current at the time the application is submitted.
You may want to look into internships that they usually offer every year via the website.
