The authority is seeking to hire a highly qualified and experienced aviation professional for the position of Flight Operations Inspector (Aeroplane) at Grade EG-08. The selection for this post will be made purely on the basis of suitability and merit, without any quota-based reservations, as all three (03) available positions are allocated under the Merit quota.

In terms of eligibility, the candidate must possess a minimum educational qualification of Intermediate from a recognized board.

Additionally, they must have accumulated no less than 5,000 hours as Pilot-in-Command on such aircraft and possess a minimum of 10 years of experience in commercial air transport aviation. A critical requirement is that the candidate must have a Synthetic Flight Examiner (SFE) or Type Rating Examiner (TRE) endorsement on their ATPL.

The application process is entirely online. Interested candidates must visit the PCAA official website and submit the online job application form within fifteen (15) days of the advertisement's publication. Along with the form, applicants are required to upload scanned copies of their educational certificates, updated CV, CNIC, a copy of their ATPL with relevant endorsements, and the last page of their logbook detailing flying hours.

Selected candidates must meet CAA's medical fitness standards and be willing to serve anywhere in Pakistan. Government employees must produce an NOC from their current employer before the interview. The authority strictly warns against misinformation or any attempt to influence the selection process, which will lead to permanent disqualification. Furthermore, any discovery of fake or bogus documents at any stage will result in immediate termination of services. PCAA promotes equal employment opportunities for women and minorities and reserves the right to cancel the entire recruitment process at any stage. The notice is issued by the Additional Director of Human Resources from the PCAA Headquarters in Karachi.
