Role overview

Emirates Flight Training is a forward-looking training environment that uses Competency Based Training and Assessment (CBTA) across its courses and is among the limited number of worldwide operators using Evidence Based Training (EBT). The department places strong emphasis on ongoing development and standardisation so that team members stay aligned with current training practices and the high standards expected by Emirates.

As the airline continues to expand, it is looking for seasoned aviation specialists to join its Flight Training team in a non-flying, ground-based capacity as a Synthetic Flight Examiner (SFE).

• Assess pilot performance during recurrent, type rating, recency, and upgrade training, maintaining objectivity and consistency against set standards.
• Prepare and submit accurate exam documentation and assessment records through the electronic reporting platform within the required timeframes.
• Spot performance shortfalls and advise on corrective or extra training needed to maintain safety and competency benchmarks.
• Share detailed observations with training leadership on performance patterns, recurring concerns, and opportunities to improve teaching methods and training outcomes.
• Contribute to training programme updates, course evaluation activities, and other team initiatives related to simulator and ground-based pilot assessment.

Candidates should hold, or previously have held, one of the following licences: CPL, MPL, or ATPL.
