Flight control software

Technology category · O*NET

Flight control software is a technology category in the O*NET database. Across U.S. occupations, 3 report using software or tools in this category. The named products below are the specific examples O*NET records for those jobs. The occupations that use it sit, on average, at the 52nd percentile of AI task-exposure ( moderate) — how much that work overlaps with what AI can do, not a sign the tool is being replaced. See where every tool category sits.

A Hot tag marks technologies O*NET sees frequently in employer job postings; In demand marks tools an occupation specifically requires.

Example software & tools

Ranked by how many occupations list each product. Each number is an occupation count — a job is counted once per product — so the product rows overlap and do not sum to the category total.

Occupations that use Flight control software

How AI is used by roles that use Flight control software

A software category is not itself "being automated" — but we can look at the roles that report using Flight control software and ask how those people actually use AI. This rolls the Anthropic Economic Index per-role signal up across those roles, weighted by how much observed AI activity each one has. 66.7% of the 3 roles that use this category carry observed AI-usage data (2 roles).

Across those roles, 20.4% of AI conversations are people working with AI and 55.7% hand a task to AI , with an average autonomy of 2.50 / 5.

directive 55.7% AI does it; you give the instruction
task iteration 20.4% you and AI go back and forth

Roles behind this signal

The roles using this category that have the most AEI data. "Works with AI" is the role's share of conversations that augment rather than automate.

Occupation Works with AI Autonomy
Cartographers and Photogrammetrists 20.4% 2.5/5
Air Traffic Controllers

Source: Anthropic Economic Index (2026-01-15-v4-plus-2025-03-27-v2) over a sample of Claude.ai Free and Pro conversations — not all AI tools and not the whole workforce. Roles list software categories in O*NET; this does not mean AI is used inside Flight control software, only that people in those roles use AI. Some conversations are left unclassified, so shares need not sum to 100.

Industries that concentrate this

Where Flight control software matters most across the economy. Employment reach is the share of an industry's workers in occupations that significantly use Flight control software (O*NET importance ≥ 3 of 5, or report using the tool category). Concentration compares that reach to the national average industry, so a value above 1× means the requirement is more pervasive here than across the economy as a whole.

Nationally, about 0.0% of workers are in occupations that significantly use Flight control software (measured across 25 industries).

Sectors with the most such workers

Sector Workers Employment reach
Transportation and Warehousing 32,700 0.4%
Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services 6,570 0.1%
Educational Services 6,120 0.0%
Health Care and Social Assistance 3,850 0.0%
Management of Companies and Enterprises 2,240 0.1%
Manufacturing 1,170 0.0%
Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing and Hunting 1,110 0.3%
Information 870 0.0%
Utilities 800 0.1%
Administrative and Support and Waste Management and Remediation Services 710 0.0%
Construction 520 0.0%
Real Estate and Rental and Leasing 480 0.0%

Industries where it is most concentrated

Industry Level Concentration Employment reach
Transportation and Warehousing Sector 0.4%
Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services Sector 0.1%
Educational Services Sector 0.0%

Reach is a measure of how widespread a requirement is across an industry's workforce, not how intensively any individual uses it. Sector worker counts come from BLS OEWS employment; the significance threshold and tool use come from O*NET. Industries shown by concentration are filtered to a real worker base so a tiny specialty cannot top the list on rounding.
