Refrigeration and Air Conditioning and Heating Systems Career Ladders AFSCs 545x0, 547x0, 54790.

Abstract

This is a report of an occupational survey of the refrigeration and air conditioning (AFSC 545X0) and heating systems (AFSC 547X0) career ladders conducted by the Occupational Survey Branch, USAF Occupational Measurement Center, from May 1976 through September 1977. The previous occupational survey of these career ladders was completed in March 1971. This report describes: (1) development and administration of the survey instrument; (2) summaries of tasks performed by airmen grouped by skill level, experience level, and similarity of task performed; (3) comparisons with current career field structure documents; and (4) recommended actions for further study. Both career ladders have remained relatively stable over the years since the last occupational survey was completed in 1971. The only major classification change that has occurred since that time involved dropping the A shredout, Plant Operator, for the 547X0 career ladder in April 1976.
