  • Develops policies, including advisory circulars, inspector guidelines, and training standards related to certification, inspection, surveillance and operation of assigned program areas.
  • Reviews and evaluates, on a continuing basis, established rules and regulations to assure they have kept pace with needs to which they were directed and that they are still reasonable, necessary, and adequate.
  • Assures effective coordination of assigned programs and activities with Safety Assurance offices, other organizational segments of the Division, the Agency and organizations outside of the agency.
  • Participates in national and international working groups and panels with other organization elements of the agency, or other government agencies, International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and industry representatives for the purpose of resolving complex and controversial problems.
  • Engages in a collaborative, interdependent team environment with internal and external stakeholders to promote safety, understanding, and compliance related to assigned programs.
  • May represent the agency as a technical trainer/instructor for the planning, development, revision, and delivery of formal training for assigned technical programs.
  • Provides leadership to others in applying and providing authoritative technical expertise in the designee program.
  • Exercises a high level of technical expertise and critical thinking to assess designees and certification procedures, policy changes, new legislation, rulemaking, new technology, and other significant technical issues to determine the impact on training programs.
  • Prepares a variety of correspondence to other organizations within Flight Standards, aviation industry, other governmental agencies, members of Congress, and the general public, much of which is highly technical and of high priority.
