Surely your list should read Leading Aviator, Senior Aviator and Senior Aviator(Technician). Chief Technician and Warrant Officer require no amendment as they do not contain the word “men”.
As for Master Aviator surely Master Aircrew is more appropriate?
Only 3 ranks need amending, or perhaps only 2 if the current SAC(T) was changed to something more appropriate, something like Junior Technician perhaps, with a four bladed propeller as a rank badge.
