This positron instructs and performs the full range of flight crew work supporting heavy multiengine aircraft, provides assistance to the pilot in the overall operation of these aircraft, and performs aircraft loadmaster responsibilities. The aircrafts' missions range from combat service support airlift (including movement of heavy supplies, vehicles, other aircraft and equipment), transport of troops, ammo, equipment which supply combat units, troop air assaults, extraction and resupply of troops, and aeromedical evacuations. Incumbent is responsible to provide assistance to the pilot in flight planning, monitoring and operating engines, and a wide variety of aircraft control systems to include fuel, electrical, hydraulic, fire suppression, environmental, pressurization. These responsibilities are comparable to the GS-09 level. pages 21, 22 and 23 of the GS-2185 standard which states knowledge and skills are required of the overall performance of the aircraft, and an operational knowledge of aircraft systems and components such as propulsion, airframe, electrical, hydraulic and environmental systems. This position exceeds lower levels of the standard which states primary responsibilities involve only specific functions. e.g., aircraft loadmaster, or aerial refueling, rather than for overall operation of the aircraft. The work reflected in this position does not exceed work descriptive of the GS-09 level.
