Which Flight Instructor Jobs Do We Have Open in NYC?

Every open role at Aviator.NYC is part-time. Flight instructors work as independent contractors and set their own availability, typically teaching 5 to 15 hours per week. The Video & Content Creator and VR Simulator Operator roles are part-time positions with hours that flex around our content calendar and session bookings. We are deliberate about this: our business runs on appointments across mornings, evenings, and weekends, and part-time roles let us match great people to the hours that actually exist. If you are looking for full-time employment, none of the current openings will fit on their own. If you want meaningful, well-paid work that fits around flying, school, or another job, they are designed for exactly that.

Our studio is at 35 West 31st Street, Suite 901 in Midtown Manhattan, and it operates by appointment only. The space houses our Garmin G1000 Advanced Aviation Training Device (AATD). We will add the Cirrus SR20/SR22 simulators with Garmin G3000 flight decks and our virtual reality (VR) simulators. All roles work on site: instructors teach in the studio, the VR operator runs sessions there, and the video and content creator films there, though editing and publishing work can flex to wherever you work best. The studio is a short walk from multiple subway lines, which makes commuting from anywhere in New York City straightforward.

Apply using the form at the bottom of this page or on any role page: pick the position, upload your resume, and tell us briefly why the role fits you. We review every application and reply within one to two weeks if there is a potential match. From there the process is an initial phone or Zoom interview, a role-specific evaluation at the studio, and then onboarding. For flight instructors the evaluation is a simulator session where we look at your teaching and your Garmin avionics fluency. For content and operations roles it is a practical working session. The whole process usually takes two to three weeks from application to first day.

Yes. If you are a fit for more than one role, submit one application for the position that interests you most and mention the other roles in your message. We read every application personally, so a note like "primarily applying for VR Simulator Operator, but also interested in the Aviation Operations internship" works perfectly. Some of the best fits overlap: a student pilot might operate VR sessions while learning the business through operations work, or a content producer might grow into covering everything our instructors teach. We are a small team, and people who can contribute in more than one area are especially valuable to us.
