Principal Aviation Safety Evaluator

2 weeks ago

Hollywood, Florida, United States Federal Aviation Administration Full time
Overview

The Principal Aviation Safety Evaluator plays a crucial role as the main operational liaison among designated air carriers, aviation operators, regulatory agencies, and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). This position is responsible for ensuring that the assigned entities comply with Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) concerning operational programs related to general aviation avionics safety.

Eligibility
  • Current federal employees of this agency.
Agency Clarification

This opportunity is available to current permanent employees within the Aviation Safety division.

Key Responsibilities

The Aviation Safety Evaluator operates under general administrative guidance, primarily planning, designing, and executing programs, projects, and studies independently. This role provides policy support to fellow evaluators on complex policy interpretations, with completed work typically accepted without modification.

Some positions at this level entail organization-wide responsibilities requiring expert knowledge of flight avionics for advanced multiengine turbojet aircraft. Employees in this role are involved in all facets of the aircraft's operational capabilities and limitations.

At the FG-14 level, employees establish technical protocols and performance metrics, reviewing comprehensive flight operations programs for industry leaders or organizations of similar complexity. Assignments at this level are extensive and often intricate.

FG-14 employees assess flight operations programs for organizations utilizing sophisticated aircraft, systems, and equipment. Due to the complexity of the organization or the advanced technology involved, employees must demonstrate creativity in solving unique challenges, often consulting engineers and designers for specific technical advice while operating under broad policy guidelines. Supervisors grant FG-14 employees considerable autonomy in decision-making. Other inspectors frequently seek their expertise on aircraft operation and maintenance issues. Given the significant implications of their decisions on aviation safety and industry standards, their conclusions may require higher-level policy approval.

The Evaluator organizes and allocates time and resources effectively to meet organizational goals. Responsibilities include defining, structuring, and utilizing resources to achieve work objectives within set timelines, analyzing program needs and outcomes, and making necessary adjustments to address organizational demands.

Decisions made in this role can significantly impact the operation and maintenance of advanced aircraft types or a geographic area with diverse aviation operations, directly affecting public safety.

FG-14 employees engage in critical and often sensitive discussions with key officials from major manufacturers and general aviation organizations to resolve issues impacting initial certification or operational programs and their safety compliance.

The Evaluator offers guidance to field staff on complex technical matters, resolving most issues independently, while escalating unique problems to management or senior specialists. They develop strategies, methodologies, and policies to tackle current and future challenges, collaborating with management to find solutions.

Contacts within this role include both internal and external stakeholders. The Evaluator may represent the agency in policy development, inspection activities, or as a technical trainer, delivering formal training sessions. The nature of these contacts varies based on the purpose, required authority level, and the technical issues at hand, typically involving interactions with senior management, professional organizations, industry groups, other government agencies, and international civil aviation authorities.

Additional duties may be assigned as necessary.
