Aircraft Electrical System Career Ladder AFSC 423X0.
Abstract
This report presents the results of an Air Force occupational survey of the Aircraft Electrical Systems career ladder (AFSC 423XO). Authority for conducting occupational surveys is contained in AFR 35-2. A total of 1,814 members of the 423XO career ladder were surveyed to obtain current data for use in training and management decisions. All major commands with assigned aircraft were represented. Most of the aircraft electrical personnel were part of the following job groupings: technical maintenance functions (flightline, troubleshooting, battery shop, in-shop, etc.), or supervisory and management functions (line, branch, or specialist flightline supervisors, quality control, training, or maintenance scheduling). There are a few small independent job types that are identifiable by either a specific aircraft or a unique technical responsibility. Overall, the career field is relatively consistent in the tasks members spend the most time performing. The 423XO career ladder follows a typical pattern of career progression through skill levels. The personnel of the 423XO career ladder seem to get the proper training; however, documentation of required training should be improved. This occupational analysis presents a more detailed look at the career ladder structure than the 1979 report. As a whole, the career field appears stable.
