$12-25/hr Remote Freelance AUDIO

About the Role

Are you a flight student or aviation enthusiast in the UK with a sharp ear for cockpit communications? We're looking for Aviation Data Specialists to help train cutting-edge AI systems using real-world pilot-to-tower audio. Your knowledge of aviation terminology, phraseology, and standard operating procedures is exactly what's needed to make AI smarter and safer in one of the world's most critical industries.

Whether you're training towards your PPL at a local airfield, working through your CPL or ATPL theory, or you're an aviation graduate looking for flexible work — this role lets you put your specialist knowledge to real use.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role — work on your own schedule while doing something genuinely meaningful.

• Organization: Alignerr
• Type: Hourly Contract
• Location: Remote
• Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

• Listen to and transcribe real pilot-to-ATC (air traffic control) audio recordings with precision
• Review and validate AI-generated transcriptions for accuracy in aviation terminology and phraseology
• Label and annotate audio data to help AI systems understand real-world aviation communication
• Flag errors, miscommunications, or unclear audio segments using structured guidelines
• Apply your knowledge of standard aviation language (ICAO phraseology, readbacks, clearances) to ensure high-quality outputs
• Work independently and asynchronously at your own pace

Who You Are

• Currently enrolled in or recently completed a flight training program (PPL, CPL, ATPL, or equivalent — EASA or UK CAA)
• Familiar with standard pilot-to-ATC communication and aviation radio phraseology
• Strong listening comprehension and attention to detail
• Comfortable working with audio tools and structured data entry
• Reliable, self-motivated, and able to meet quality benchmarks independently
• No prior AI or data labeling experience required — we'll provide all the guidance you need

Nice to Have

• Logged flight hours or simulator experience
• Familiarity with ICAO, EASA, or UK CAA communication standards
• Background in aviation safety, dispatch, or ATC
• Understanding of UK airspace classifications and procedures

Why Join Us

• Make a real impact — your work directly improves AI systems used in safety-critical aviation contexts
• Flexible remote work — log in when it suits you, no fixed schedule
• Leverage your expertise — get paid for the aviation knowledge you've worked hard to build
• Cutting-edge projects — contribute to some of the most advanced AI research in specialised domains
• Freelance freedom — autonomy, independence, and the ability to scale hours up or down
• Ongoing opportunity — strong performers are considered for contract extension and additional projects
