Aircraft Electrical Systems Maintenance Career Ladder. AFSCs 42330, 42350, 42370, and 42399.
Abstract
The Aircraft Electrical Systems Maintenance career ladder job inventory was administered during the period April through September 1978. Survey results are based on responses from 2,064 incumbents of the 2,865 assigned personnel in the 423X0 career ladder or 72 percent of all career ladder members. Overall this career ladder was highly homogeneous, with 77 percent performing as aircraft electricians. Six major job clusters were identified within the career ladder: aircraft electricians (the largest group, which included first-job through first-line supervisory personnel); quality control, battery shop, and management personnel; combat logistics support specialists; and instructors. Generally, jobs performed by 3-, 5-, and 7-skill level personnel were technical in nature, with 7-skill level respondents spending only 25 percent of their time performing management, supervision, and training functions. Technical tasks performed by 7-skill level respondents, however, did include the more difficult troubleshooting and the inspection tasks, which were indicative of a supervisory role. The 9-skill level incumbents were primarily managers who did few, if any, technical tasks.
