Flight Facilities Equipment Repair Career Ladder AFSC'S 30431, 30451, 30471, and 30496.
Abstract
The AFS 304X1/96 Career Ladder structure is divided functionally around systems maintained, supervision and maintenance support, and equipment engineering and installation. Sixty percent of the job incumbents in the sample were directly involved with maintaining TACAN systems, Instrument Landing Systems, OMNIRANGE equipment, and low frequency radio beacons; 13% were identified as supervision and maintenance support personnel because they were concerned with management, administration, and inspection; and 8% were identified as engineering and installation personnel since their job titles indicated their primary functions involved installation of navigational aids. Content of the specialty training standard is consistent with the occupational survey data. Job progression relative to skill level and time in service shows a typical shift from technical to supervisory activities with increasing skill level and time in service. With the exception of personnel maintaining LORAN equipment, there is little difference in the tasks performed by airmen stationed overseas and the tasks performed by airmen stationed within the Continental United States.
