Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Associate's Degree)

  • Airfield condition inspections — conduct independently and document findings to confirm ongoing compliance with FAA regulatory requirements.
  • Safety procedure implementation — apply and adjust standard protocols in familiar non-routine situations to protect personnel and aircraft operations.
  • Controlled access inspections — perform perimeter and property surveys routinely, identifying and resolving access control discrepancies without close oversight.
  • Emergency coordination support — execute assigned tasks during aircraft and medical emergencies with reduced supervision, communicating clearly with responding units.
  • Snow removal operations — coordinate airfield-wide clearing activities across runways and taxiways, sequencing equipment and crews for efficient execution.
  • Wildlife management programs — conduct hazing and deterrent activities using established techniques, logging encounters in the airfield wildlife database.
  • Air traffic control and maintenance communications — facilitate coordination independently, ensuring accurate and timely information flow between both parties.
  • Mobile airfield management functions — perform mobile inspection and oversight duties across the airfield, adapting to changing operational demands.
  • Spreadsheet and office suite software — use to analyze airfield operational data, generate reports, and track recurring compliance metrics.
  • Critical incidents and near-miss events — apply deductive reasoning to identify contributing factors and recommend corrective actions to supervisors.
