29%
61.9/ 100
1 Share of the aviation data communications manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the aviation safety officer 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 this move works
A aviation data communications manager role treats 4 of its required skills as things a aviation safety officer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- common aviation safety regulations
- tolerate stress
- use different communication channels
- work in an aviation team
What stands in the way is 9 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 4 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A aviation data communications manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a aviation safety officer background worth leading with.
- already held work in an aviation team communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held common aviation safety regulations business, administration and law
- already held tolerate stress management skills
- already held use different communication channels communication, collaboration and creativity
All 4 carried skills, including the 4 the aviation data communications manager role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a aviation data communications manager role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 communicate in air traffic services skill · sector specific
- 02 manage data skill · sector specific
- 03 manage flight data communications programme skill · sector specific
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.
