  • Develop and maintain AFE dashboards providing leadership visibility into risks, trends, and execution status.
  • Prepare senior leader read-aheads, briefs, issue papers, and decision support products.
  • Elevate AFE issues requiring senior leader decisions with clear COAs and risk trade-offs.

Standards & Compliance
  • Ensure AFE sustainment activities align with safety-of-flight requirements, Technical Order (TO) updates, and training or qualification needs.
  • Identify recurring AFE issues and recommend policy, procedural, or governance updates to improve execution.
  • Support standardization efforts to improve consistency of AFE readiness across operational units.

Deliverables

  • Enterprise AFE issue tracker with adjudication status and resolution timelines
