Uses time effectively and prevents irrelevant issues or distractions from interfering with work completion.
Technical
[ + ] Aircraft Performance Data
Extensive, specialized knowledge of aerodynamic and propulsion principles and their application in developing aircraft performance data. Extensive, specialized knowledge of associated regulatory requirements and related impact on aircraft performance data. Utilize this knowledge to resolve customer issues, to design and develop products, and to mentor less experienced personnel.
[ + ] Aviation Ability and Knowledge
Advanced knowledge and ability to utilize crew resource management, weight and balance calculations, navigation procedures, airspace, meteorology, aircraft performance data, communication operations, flight planning, industry regulations, and pilot aviation skills to include: instrument, night, formation, and cross-country flight instruction, flight planning, flight test profiles, and functional check flights.
[ + ] Customer Operational Tasks
Advanced knowledge and ability to perform customer operational tasks (e.g., weapons delivery, aerial refueling, Night Vision Systems (NVS) operations, over water navigation). The ability to mentor and conduct train the trainer classes on the subject matter.
[ + ] Flight Safety
Extensive and specialized knowledge company and industry safety initiatives and strategies to reduce the world aircraft accident rate. Knowledge of operational flight safety, including industry-wide current safety topics (e.g., approach and landing, upset, Controlled Flight into Terrain [CFIT]).
[ + ] Flight Test Operations
Advanced knowledge of aircraft flight crew operations, flight deck design philosophy, flight deck/pilot interface, flight test requirements and procedures and customer requirements. Knowledge of how the customer flight crews operate aircraft during day to day operations, including typical airline/military flight operations and all normal and non-normal operating procedures and checklists. Knowledge of the Air Traffic Control environment and how aircraft are routed through the air traffic environment.
[ + ] Military Aircraft Cert & Perf
Extensive knowledge and ability to develop proposals for multiple new projects based on regulatory requirements (e.g., FAR, JAR, Mil-Spec, etc.) without existing proposals as reference or examples.
