1 Share of the aviation safety officer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the aircraft maintenance coordinator 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 safety officer role treats 6 of its required skills as things a aircraft maintenance coordinator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • airport safety regulations
  • aviation standards and recommended practices
  • ensure data protection in aviation operations
  • follow industry codes of practice for aviation safety
  • identify airport safety hazards
  • report airport security incidents

What stands in the way is 11 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 6 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A aviation safety officer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a aircraft maintenance coordinator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held ensure data protection in aviation operations assisting and caring
  • already held follow industry codes of practice for aviation safety assisting and caring
  • already held aviation standards and recommended practices services
  • already held report airport security incidents information skills
  • already held airport safety regulations services
  • already held identify airport safety hazards information skills

All 6 carried skills, including the 6 the aviation safety officer role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 17 missing skills fall into 6 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.

4 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
