The job

Flight Operations Officers support our aircraft from the ground. You'll create flight plans, advise on flight safety and manage teams of Flight Operations Assistants. In every operations room on every RAF flying station, and wherever our aircraft are flying, on detachment or on operations overseas, there’s a Flight Operations Officer at the centre of things.

Responsibility

Flight Operations Officers are in charge of some of the most important functions in support of aircraft in training and war situations: you'll act as a link between aircrew and the operations nerve centre and take responsibility for all aspects of the flying management of aircraft. In a crisis, you'll have to provide answers and take action.
