Duties Help The aviion safety inspector (ASI) receives administrive direction from management in terms of broadly defined missions or functions. The ASI, mostly independently plans, designs, and carries out programs, projects, studies, or other work. The ASI provides policy assistance to divisional field level ASIs on difficult or complex policy inquiries. The work is normally accepted without change. Completed work may be reviewed for adherence to FAA policy and for assurance th project requirements have been fulfilled. Some FG-14 assignments involve office, and/or division responsibility for applicion of expert knowledge of flight operions for an advanced multiengine turboprop and/or turbojet aircraft. Such employees are concerned with all aspects of the operional capabilities and limitions of the aircraft. ASIs the FG-14 level establish technical procedures and performance indexes and review complete flight operion or maintenance programs for major air carriers who are leaders in the aviion industry, or who have problems of comparable scope and complexity, or a uniquely complex group of general aviion organizions. Assignments this level are of gre scope and unusual complexity and the organizions monitored are major factors in the industry.

The following assignments are illustrive:

1.As an expert on a particular type of sophisticed multiengine turbojet aircraft:

• Advises other inspectors of major changes in the operion of the aircraft;
• Standardizes procedures and judgments used by inspectors to evalue the operion of the aircraft;
• Evalues new training methods and equipment (e.g., simulors) for initial certificion;
• Serves on nional boards th determine the minimum equipment necessary to opere a particular type of aircraft safely; and
• Serves on boards th evalue incidents, accidents, complaints, and other serious problems reling to the aircraft.

Develops plans to resolve problems. 2. As the principal representive in regulory surveillance of air carrier activities, exercises certifice authority over a major air carrier with very extensive and complex operions. Analyzes flight operions involving large fleets of turbojet aircraft engaged in large-scale passenger and freight service. This level includes responsibility for nionally and internionally prominent carriers who opere the largest, most advanced fleets of turbojet aircraft in the industry. (By comparison, FG-13 employees exercise certifice authority over less complex air carriers or perform major portions of the certificion, inspection, and surveillance for major carriers under the direction of FG-14 inspectors.) FG-14 employees develop and evalue flight operions programs for organizions which utilize the newest, most complex aircraft, systems, and equipment. Because of organizional complexity or the advanced technology incorpored in the aircraft, systems, and equipment, employees must exercise originality to resolve unique problems. They 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 reling to aircraft and their operion. Because of the precedent-setting nure or substantial effect on the aviion industry or public safety, their decisions may be reviewed and approved a higher policy
