Duties

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. As a Service wide expert on a particular type of advanced multiengine turbojet aircraft:
Advises other inspectors of major changes in the operation of the aircraft.
Standardizes procedures and judgments used by inspectors to evaluate the operation of the aircraft.
Evaluates new training methods and equipment (e.g., simulators) for initial certification.
Serves on national boards that determine the minimum equipment necessary to operate a particular type of aircraft safely; and
Serves on boards that evaluate incidents, accidents, complaints, and other serious problems relating to the aircraft. 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. Exercises certificate authority and safety responsibility over a complex of broad and varied general aviation organizations such as air carriers, executive and/or industrial operators, designees, and flight schools when the activities monitored equate collectively to a major air carrier in terms of size and complexity of aircraft fleet employed, scope and technical complexity of operations, management sophistication, industry leadership, and public impact. 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. Decisions typically have broad impact on the operation of aircraft or a geographic area containing a variety of novel and/or complex aviation oversight. Decisions have a significant effect on the safety of the flying public. The POI will have critically important and frequently controversial contacts with key officials of major manufacturers and general aviation organizations. Contacts are made to resolve issues which affect the initial certification or oversight programs, and their effect on safety and compliance with regulations. The POI resolves all but unique problems, with the intervention of management or a technical specialist. Develop plans, techniques, and policies to address current and anticipated problems and issues. Works with management to solve problems. Contacts are internal and external to the agency. Performs other duties as required.
