He/she plans and accomplishes highly complex and challenging projects/programs and other work activities under the minimal direction of a manager. He/she works balloon certification projects and continued operational safety issues as they arise; drawing from experience previously used to solve unusual problems and may create new solutions and policy interpretations. Broad policies and objectives provide general guidance for addressing issues, but allow considerable discretion to develop new and innovative approaches. Draws on experience to solve unusual problems and may create new solutions and policy interpretations as the situation requires. Provides policy guidance and instruction to others, both internally and externally. Represents FAA as a senior technical point of contact on projects, programs and other work activities. In addition, the incumbent will serve as a national resource for other ACO Branches who are working balloon projects, but do not have ASEs with balloon knowledge. Applies experience and comprehensive knowledge of engineering principles, theories, and concepts applicable balloon certification, as well as an understanding of new technologies and methodologies, to solve complex problems and to develop improved technical processes for the organization. He/she work with the Small Airplane Standards Staff to assist in standardizing the application of regulations, policy, and guidance. He/she supports AIR-600 with validation activity for approximately ten foreign balloon type certificate holders. Contacts are internal and external. Collaborates with foreign civil aviation authority partners and foreign balloon manufacturers.
