Helicopter Mechanic Career Ladder (AFSC 431X0C/D).

Abstract

This is an occupational survey report (OSR) of the Helicopter Mechanic career ladder (AFSC 431XOC/D) completed by the Occupational Analysis Division, USAF Occupational Measurement Center, in March 1986. The survey was conducted in response to a request from the career ladder training manager, 3700 Technical Training Wing, Sheppard Technical Training Center, to assess current training. The last survey report of the Helicopter Mechanic Specialty was published in 1978. As outlined in the current AFR 39-1 Specialty Descriptions, Helicopter Mechanic personnel are responsible for inspecting, repairing, maintaining, troubleshooting, and servicing helicopter aircraft and installed equipment. In addition, they perform maintenance staff functions and supervisory roles. The data collection survey instrument for this occupational survey was USAF Job Inventory AFPT 90-431-530, dated April 1984. A preliminary task list was prepared after reviewing pertinent career ladder publications and directives, tasks from previous job inventories, and data from the last OSR.
