About the Role

The Principal Operations Inspector (POI) 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 Code of Federal Regulation (14 CFR) with respect to general aviation operations programs.

What You'll Do

  • The POI receives administrative direction from management in terms of broadly defined missions or functions.
  • The POI, mostly independently plans, designs, and carries out programs, projects, studies, or other work.
  • 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.
  • Some FG-14 assignments involve service wide responsibility for application of expert knowledge of flight operations for advanced multiengine turbojet aircraft.
  • Such employees are concerned with all aspects of the operational capabilities and limitations of the aircraft.
  • Aviation Safety Inspectors (ASIs) at the FG-14 level establish technical procedures and performance indexes and review complete flight operations 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.
  • (By comparison, FG-13 employees exercise certificate authority over less complex operations or perform major portions of the certification, inspection, and surveillance under the direction of FG-14 inspectors.) 3.
  • The magnitude, intensity, and scope of program responsibility are typically such as to require significant and regular assistance of lower graded inspectors.

Requirements

  • We are not accepting applications from noncitizens.
  • Education is not qualifying and cannot be substituted for this position.
