Aerospace Propulsion Career Ladder, AFSC 2A6X1A/B.

Abstract

The Aerospace Propulsion career ladder, AFSCs 2A6X1A/B. was surveyed to gather data needed to evaluate the effectiveness of training within the Aerospace Propulsion specialties. The 'A' shredout maintains jet engines on all assigned Air Force aircraft. and the 'B' shredout maintains turboprop and turboshaft engines on aircraft and helicopters. in order to provide more engine specific training, three new shredouts were established for AFSC 2A6X1A, Aerospace Propulsion, Jet Engine. AFSC 2A631C will support conventional engines, AFSC 2A631D will support the F100 engine, and AFSC 2A631E will support the F110 engine. Survey results are based on responses from 6,729 Active Duty (4,245), Air Force Reserve (AFRES) (843), and Air National Guard (ANG) (1,641) personnel. Skill levels and paygrades were well represented for both shredouts.
