Responsibilities
Serves an Aviation Safety Inspector responsible for reviewing, drafting and evaluating, on a continuing basis, established rules and regulations related to assigned technical programs to assure that they have kept pace with the needs to which they were directed and that they are still reasonable, necessary, and adequate.

Represents the agency as a technical trainer/instructor delivering formal training for assigned technical programs.
Review and analyze Enforcement Investigative Reports (EIR) packages received from Safety Assurance offices to ensure packages are complete, accurate and are in compliance with FAA and Flight Standards orders and policies.
Coordinates with Safety Assurance offices and the Office of General Counsel so that EIR submissions contain sufficient proof to substantiate the action contemplated, the factors affecting sanction have been sufficiently discussed, and whether the qualifications of the apparent violator are at issue.
Responsible for justifying and recommending new or amended Federal Aviation Regulations, and developing policies, standards, programs and procedures for general aviation and commercial operations.
