About the Role

The Principal Maintenance Inspector (PMI), Part 125, is responsible for applying knowledge of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) for the development and implementation of standards, programs, and procedures for Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) field personnel and the public governing all matters to air carrier maintenance safety issues.

What You'll Do

  • The PMI receives administrative direction from management in terms of broadly defined missions or functions.
  • The PMI mostly independently plans, designs, and carries out programs, projects, studies, or other work.
  • The PMI provides policy assistance to regional and field level Aviation Safety Inspectors (ASIs) on difficult or complex policy interpretations.
  • The work is normally accepted without change.
  • Completed work may be reviewed for adherence to FAA policy and for assurance that project requirements have been fulfilled.
  • ASIs at the FG-13 level issue certificates to and monitor (1) a large and complex aviation organization or(2)a number of smaller organizations that, together, are comparable in complexity to one large one.
  • They are the primary contact point with the aviation organization(s).
  • They may decide on issuance of the original certificates.
  • They evaluate and decide upon proposals to change the authorized programs of the organizations.
  • They continuously monitor the activities of organizations to determine whether they are following their authorized program, Federal regulations, and good safety practices.
  • (By comparison GS-12employees issue certificates to small and uncomplicated organizations.) FG-13 employees plan and conduct their assignments with substantial technical independence.
  • They receive administrative and policy guidance from their supervisors and policy makers.
  • They also obtain technical advice from higher-level inspectors who are experts on a particular type of aircraft or who have overall program responsibility.
  • They independently plan and carry out a work program to meet the needs and monitor the activities of the organizations for which they have certification responsibility.

Requirements

  • We are not accepting applications from noncitizens.
