About the Role

The Principal Avionics Inspector (PAI) serves as the primary operations interface between assigned air carriers, air operators, air agencies, airmen, designees, and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Has program responsibility to assure that assigned organizations meet Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) with respect to operations programs governing all matters to general aviation avionics safety issues.

What You'll Do

  • The PAI receives administrative direction from management in terms of broadly defined missions or functions.
  • The PAI, mostly independently plans, designs, and carries out programs, projects, studies, or other work.
  • The PAI provides policy assistance to ASIs on difficult or complex policy interpretations.
  • The work is normally accepted without change.

  • Assignments at this level are of great scope and unusual complexity.

  • As a Service wide expert on a particular type of aircraft: Advises other inspectors of major changes; Evaluates new training methods and equipment; Serves on boards that evaluate incidents, accidents, complaints, and other serious problems relating to the aircraft. 2.
  • As the principal representative in regulatory surveillance of general aviation activities, exercises certificate authority; or evaluates maintenance activities and complete aircraft overhaul facilities. 3.
  • The magnitude, intensity, and scope of program responsibility are typically such as to require significant and regular assistance of lower graded inspectors.
  • Decisions typically have broad impact on the operation, maintenance of a particular type of advanced aircraft, or a geographic area containing a variety of novel and/or complex aviation operations.

Requirements

  • We are not accepting applications from noncitizens.
