About the Role

The Principal Oversight Inspector (POI) serves as the primary flight oversight (FO) 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 Code of Federal Regulation (14 CFR) with respect to general aviation FO programs. Assignments involve service-wide responsibility using expert knowledge of FO for advanced multiengine turbojet aircraft.

What You'll Do

  • The POI will establish technical procedures and performance indexes and review complete FO programs for leaders in the aviation industry, or organizations of comparable scope and complexity, or a uniquely complex group of general aviation organizations.
  • Assignments at this level are of great scope and unusual complexity.
  • The following assignments are illustrative: 1.
  • Develops plans to resolve problems. 2.
  • As the principal representative in regulatory oversight of general aviation and air carrier activities, exercises certificate authority over extensive and complex operations.
  • Analyzes flight operations involving large fleets of turbojet aircraft engaged in passenger and freight service. 3.
  • The magnitude, intensity, and scope of program responsibility are typically such as to require significant and regular assistance of lower graded inspectors.
  • The POI will develop and evaluate flight oversight programs for organizations which utilize the newest, most complex aircraft, systems, and equipment.
  • Because of organizational complexity or technology incorporated in the aircraft, systems, and equipment, the employee must exercise originality to resolve unique problems and will frequently rely on engineers and designers for specific technical guidance although much of their work is carried out under very broad policy guidelines.
  • Supervisors give FG-14 employees a wide leeway for independent action.
  • Other inspectors seek their advice on problems relating to aircraft and their operation.
  • Because of the precedent-setting nature or substantial effect on the aviation industry or public safety, their decisions may be reviewed and approved at a higher policy- setting level.
  • The POI will plan and direct the use of time and resources to accomplish organizational objectives and will define, organize, and use resources to accomplish work activities within established schedules.
  • Analyze program requirements and accomplishments and make or direct adjustments as necessary to address organizational needs.

  • Your application/resume must have your official title, grade, series and employment dates in your work history.
  • As a part of the Federal-Wide Hiring Reform Initiative (streamlining the hiring process), the FAA is committed to eliminating the use of the Knowledge, Skills and Ability (KSA)/Leadership and Management Dimension (LMD) NARRATIVES from the initial application in the hiring process for all announcements.
  • Therefore, as an applicant for this announcement, you are NOT required to provide a NARRATIVE response in the text box listed below each KSA/LMD.
