Book Description
The Air Force Specialty Code (AFSC) 2A6X4, Aircraft Fuel Systems, career ladder was surveyed to obtain occupational data for use in evaluating and revising current career ladder documents and training programs. Survey results are based on the responses of 1,872 specialty personnel, representing 60 percent of the total assigned population (as of January 1998). Three-, 5-, and 7-skill level personnel from all major commands, the Air National Guard, and Air Force Reserve Command are included in this survey. Three clusters and three jobs were identified in the career ladder structure analysis: the Fuel Systems Maintenance Cluster, the Aircraft Preparation Cluster, the Supervisor Cluster, the Mission Support Job, the Quality Assurance Job, and the External Fuel Tank Maintenance Job. The Fuel Systems Maintenance Cluster represents the core job of the career ladder, accounting for 74 percent of the survey sample. The aircraft Fuel Systems career ladder displays a typical pattern of career progression in that members of the lower skill level (i.e., 3-skill levels) tend to engage in technical duties alone, while members of the upper skill levels (i.e., 5- and 7-skill levels) are characterized by their increasing involvement in management, supervisory, and training functions.
