Automated Vacancy Information Access Tool for Online Referral (AVIATOR)

AVIATOR is a web based system that is integrated with USAJOBS to allow applicants to search and apply for FAA jobs. AVIATOR supports internal and external hiring processes for all series except the entry-level Electronics Technician and Airway Transportation Safety Specialists filled through the Centralized Applicant Pools (CAPS) process.

In order to apply for an FAA job you must start by setting up or logging into USAJOBS. Once your account is setup in USAJOBS you may begin your application by clicking Apply Now on the vacancy announcement in USAJOBS. You will automatically be transferred, along with your information, to AVIATOR where you will fill out an additional questionnaire and be sent back to USAJOBS along with your application status.

Go to USAJOBS to apply for an FAA vacancy or to update an application.

Important!!! You may no longer initiate new applications directly from the AVIATOR website but you may check the status of applications submitted prior to March 30, 2012 by logging in with your existing AVIATOR applicant account until October 1st, 2012. Go to AVIATOR to check the status of applications submitted before March 30, 2012.
