Here's how you can advance your career in the aviation industry while working remotely.

Aviation is about networking, connecting goods and people to create value, that's why economic productivity is inextricably linked to air traffic. The sector is built on the fundamental human need to collaborate, and despite global shifts such as the pandemic, the sector has proved that in-person networking can never be replaced with online networking, which serves a different purpose. Online networking, which I believe in and use extensively, has its place in creating and nurturing communities, through sharing and receiving insights and forming valuable touch points that magnify the impact of in-person collaboration. A means to succeed in this industry is to use a healthy balance of the two in a productive and complementary manner.

I have been blessed to have been working in the aviation industry these past 27 years. Having held a variety of roles for different sub-sectors across multiple continents. In all that time, one thing I have observed is the need to understand local cultural nuisances in how to conduct aviation related business by surrounding yourself with talented people. Many systems, standards and OEM instructions are globally similar but their adoption and the form of communication used through a variety of languages, customs and processes can mean the difference between success and failure for brands. This current phase of digitalization and adoption of AI should make things more efficient, but cannot take away the challenge it represents nonetheless.

O networking é de fundamental importancia para uma carreira bem sucedida na avia??o. Manter contatos com profissionais da área, se informar das novidades no setor e se manter atualizado é uma forma de se manter no looping de forma remota.

Advancing your career in aviation remotely requires leveraging technology and networking. Engage in online forums, attend virtual industry events, and pursue certifications relevant to your field. Demonstrate proficiency in remote collaboration tools and stay updated on industry trends through webinars and online courses. Seek mentorship from experienced professionals and actively contribute to industry discussions on social media platforms. Networking and continuous learning are key to remote career growth in aviation.

In my experience online networking plays a very pivotal role in career advancement opportunities. Building connections with industry professionals may land you great opportunities and make you aware of latest technology and trends in the industry.

The reduction of costs associated with travel and accommodation makes the online certification process more accessible, benefiting both individuals and companies. This innovative approach also contributes to sustainability.

Buen punto a tener en cuenta. Esta modalidad permite beneficios tanto en el profesional como en el que requiere los servicios profesionales.

In A&P school, they have time requirements and minimum grades for each subject taught. Sheet metal, electrical, hydraulics, engines, airframe, landing gear systems, oxygen, navigation, welding, etc. Nothing prepares you fully for the real job you do except experience. Excel in all the areas, but pick one to be really good at. I am good at electrical/nicad batteries and sheet metal. Things most mechanics shy away from. Volunteering to be a non paid extra hand sometimes gets you in the door. Being good at what you do gets you asked back and as a plus, paid. Word of mouth will keep you working.

Estoy de acuerdo. He participado en instancias remotas para tener mayor experiencia y han resultado muy satisfactorias. Es importante la actualización de datos y perfiles para tener mayor alcance en la búsqueda de profesionales.

In today’s aviation industry, advancing your skills and qualifications has never been more accessible. Remote certifications offer a flexible and convenient way to enhance your expertise without interrupting your career. Whether it’s in safety management, aircraft engineering, or another specialized field, online programs provide comprehensive and accredited training. Embracing remote certifications not only broadens your knowledge but also signals your commitment to continuous improvement and adaptability. This proactive approach can set you apart in a competitive job market, opening doors to higher positions and new career opportunities. Take advantage of these resources to stay ahead and fuel your professional growth.

We are lucky to have seen online collaboration tools evolve into impactful and efficient tools of trade since Covid. If you are not familiar with the tools, there are many YouTube tutorials and many by the vendors as well. I think Microsoft 365 is a wonderful platform and we havn't even begun to explore all the possibilities of how it can improve our remote efficiencies.

It’s a tool. Nothing else. So make it yours to the level required. Don’t get charmed away by posh interfaces. At the end one thing determines if it’s useful: does it make your work easier.

Claramente las redes con profesionales de la industria son importantes y necesarias. Sin bien las oportunidades se visualizan de mejor manera en trabajos, se pueden crear contactos para colaborar en ámbitos donde haya experiencia. Es importante tomar referentes y aplicar en proyectos internos.

La socialización de tecnología y avances dentro del medio aeronáutico nos hace más participativos y trabajo en equipo para poder dar nuestras experiencia

Investing in advanced and continuous training allows technicians to stay updated with the latest technologies and industry practices. This not only improves the quality of the work performed but also extends the lifespan of aircraft and reduces downtime. Continuous training also motivates professionals, providing them with the tools and knowledge needed to tackle complex challenges, resulting in safer and more efficient operations in the aviation sector.

Remote training is very convenient, cost-efficient and widely available, there is one problem. It s either "Remote" or "Training". Unfortunately, what we see today is replacement of qualification by procedures. The purpose of every remote training is to be as cheap as possible and meet regulation on the lower limit for issuing of a certificate. Even online training with an instructor is fare less efficient that class, since it is a kind of simplex communication with lots of destructing factors. Pre-recordd trainings or slides are pure time wasting. Going on-line, we loose multi-directional communication, sharing of experience and establishing horizontal connections. Basically, it is just exchange money to a certificate.

Totalmente de acuerdo. Postular a becas y otros es importante en la actualización de conocimiento. Considerar el estudio de referentes internacionales y contactar a especialistas de diferentes áreas para ver cómo la innovación tecnológica y avances para la experiencia del pasajero aumenta los niveles de servicio y seguridad de recintos aeroportuarios. Tendencias como el “Sence of Place” son importantes a la hora de proyectar nuevas instalaciones.

L’amélioration des compétences dans un environnement de travail permet d'être à jour sur les innovations et d'être toujours aussi compétitif sur le marché de l'emploi.

Leadership is about the ability to influence. Work on developing relationships, on both a personal one to one level, but also on a group level. Practice speaking to groups of colleagues if possible.

El liderazgo es esencial en proyectos multidisciplinarios, donde los aeropuertos se encuentran. Ver proyectos que contengan múltiples especialidades hace tener una visión general de los procesos y genera conocimiento transversal para la toma de desiciones. No dejar de lado las habilidades blandas en lo que respecta al liderazgo e influencia de equipos mantieniendo el buen clima. Se puede generar liderazgo de manera remota, teniendo en cuenta la distribución de tareas de manera clara con el equipo y metas específicas.

Be ready to help to solve complex problems and communicate why your skills and knowledge is driving your actions!!! Try to develop that solutions that address all the needs and avoid temporary or partial solutions

One always needs to lead by example and from the frontline. Remote is week and good for meetings, not for leading. Physical presence is mandatory in my opinion.

Attend to current Courses/MRO conference to strengthen ties with all aviation team and to broaden my knowledge with current technology.

Advancement in any career is by staying informed & up to date. The information you get is critical in how well you will cope with developments within the aviation industry. You can advance through seeking information regarding topics you’re less knowledgeable about or which are new to you. Avoid information you already know or agree with, stretch toward new horizons which are adjacent to your interest, but different within the aviation industry. Be curious in directing your learnings, pursue information that may not have immediate applicability, but which you can store for future use.

In the rapidly evolving aviation industry, staying informed is key to maintaining a competitive edge. Go beyond traditional news outlets; follow influential aviation blogs, join professional groups on social media, and engage with thought leaders in the field. Engaging in diverse informational sources not only broadens your knowledge but also positions you as a forward-thinking professional. Staying well-informed allows you to anticipate industry shifts and contribute innovative ideas within your organization. This proactive approach enhances your reputation as a knowledgeable and strategic asset, opening up opportunities for career advancement and industry influence.

L’information est la clé dans tout secteur d'activité et en particulier dans le secteur de l'aviation il faut s'informer en temps réel dans tout l'écosystème de l'aviation : - S’informer sur les nouvelles technologies dans l'industrie aéronautique ; - S’informer sur les nouvelles normes internationales (OACI); - Suivre des webinaires sur les thèmes dédiés à l'aviation.

Staying informed is crucial in civil aviation to ensure safety, efficiency, and regulatory compliance. Pilots, air traffic controllers, maintenance technicians, and other professionals must constantly update themselves on changes in regulations, operational procedures, and emerging technologies. Accurate and up-to-date information helps prevent incidents, optimize flight routes, improve emergency response, and maintain the integrity of aviation operations. Additionally, continuous training and access to real-time data are essential for addressing the dynamic and complex challenges of the industry, promoting a safer and more efficient civil aviation sector.

The aviation industry, due to its network concept, is prone to remote communications, leadership and reach. Thus, remote connections with limited direct connection is a staple of life in our industry. Understanding and accepting this concept - part of the adaptability required from leadership - is a key competence in our industry. The tools and skillsets required to discharge this effectively are at our disposal. We need to learn and apply efficiently.

Ce qu'il faut considérer en plus. Il faut s'associer dans des think thank orientés aviation. Faire également des recherches et partager les idées avec les autres partenaires dans les reseaux sociaux professionnels.

The rapid technological advancement has contributed to the huge transformation of the aviation industry, which was driven by the exponential growth in air transportation demand. This evolution resulted in making the aviation industry become the home to hundreds of thousands of careers that require continuous development, and enhancement of related knowledge and skills. Today, all the knowledge we need to advance in our careers is within our reach, thanks to the same technological advancement that helped evolving the industry. With today’s technology we can communicate with experienced people, attend classes or workshops, and stay informed. All of this can be done remotely, we just need to be curious to learn and seek information.
