This posn is subject to provisions of the DoD Priority Placement Program
Disclosure of Political Appointments
Experience as a rated military aviator (pilot) is critical to the successful completion of assigned duties. Previous experience as an instructor in a military aircraft is highly desirable.
Incumbent may be required to stand for several hours at a time while instructing in a classroom environment.
Work may occasionally require travel away from the normal duty station on military or commercial aircraft.
Incumbent is subject to work other than normal duty hours, which may change daily due to simulator and academic work scheduled.
This position has been identified as a designated position under the Air Force Drug Testing Plan. Incumbent(s) of this position is/are subject to the possibility of a random drug testing.
Must be able to obtain and maintain a Secret Clearance.

Qualifications

Minimum Eligibility Requirements: Minimum eligibility requirements for positions in this occupation are based on possession of the appropriate Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) pilot certificates and/or appropriate military ratings, meeting the applicable flight hour requirements, and possession of the knowledge and skills required for the positions. (The pilot certificate must include the rating(s) appropriate to the work of the position to be filled).

NOTE: Candidates establishing eligibility based on military flight experience must provide official orders, forms, or logbooks showing their status as a rated military pilot, flight instructor, or flight examiner, as appropriate. Other certificates that meet or exceed the requirements of the Commercial Pilot Certificate are also acceptable, e.g., an Airline Transport Pilot Certificate.
In addition to meeting the basic requirement above, to qualify for this position you must also meet the qualification requirements listed below:

Minimum Flight Hour Requirements: I have the knowledge and skills required for the work and meet the minimum flight hour requirements for a GS-2181-12 (Airplane Pilot Simulator Instructor) position and have a total of (1500 Total Flight Hours; 250 Pilot-In-Command Hours; 75 Night Flying Hours; 75 flight hours of Instrument Time (at least 10 hours must be in actual instrument conditions); and 500 Instructor Time Flight Hours).

NOTE: You must submit proof of Flight Hours.

Certificates and Ratings:
For all grade levels and specializations, candidates must possess a current Commercial Pilot Certificate or the appropriate military rating; both meet the intent of the requirement. If an agency decides, for example, not to accept the military rating, the rationale for the decision should be based upon the requirements of the position and should be thoroughly described in agency operating material. For flight instructor positions, the FAA Flight Instructor Certificate or the military equivalent rating is also required. The pilot certificate must include the rating(s) appropriate to the work of the position to be filled. For example, a position that involves flying a multi-engine airplane to various destinations under instrument flight rules would require the Commercial Pilot Certificate with the airplane, multi-engine, and instrument ratings or appropriate U.S. military ratings. Positions that require flying or instructing in flying both airplanes and helicopters require a rating in both categories. Only those ratings necessary to perform the work are required.

FEDERAL TIME-IN-GRADE (TIG) REQUIREMENT FOR GENERAL SCHEDULE (GS) POSITIONS: Applicants must have served at least 52 weeks at the GS-11 or higher grade (or equivalent in an alternate pay system) within the Federal Civil Service to be considered for referral. TIG applies if you are in a current GS position or held a GS position within the previous 52 weeks.

KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND ABILITIES (KSAs): Your qualifications will be evaluated on the basis of your level of knowledge, skills, abilities and/or competencies in the following areas:

- Knowledge of aircraft systems and operating procedures, aerodynamics, flying fundamentals, aircraft instrumentation, ground and flight emergency procedures, and instrument and visual flight rules, as well as knowledge of training aircraft, and of the operation, characteristics, and limitations of the corresponding aircraft simulator.
- Knowledge of the methods, principles, practices and programs related to curriculum development, instructional techniques, and training resources.
- Skill in the use of a variety of computer applications and software, to include simulator systems sufficient to meet desired learning objectives.
- Skill in demonstrating flying procedures and maneuvers in an aircraft simulator.
- Ability to communicate clearly and effectively orally and in writing to include classroom instruction before large and small audiences.
- Ability to teach multiple academic courses while using computer based teaching aides.

PART-TIME OR UNPAID EXPERIENCE: Credit will be given for appropriate unpaid and or part-time work. You must clearly identify the duties and responsibilities in each position held and the total number of hours per week.

VOLUNTEER WORK EXPERIENCE: Refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service Programs (i.e., Peace Corps, AmeriCorps) and other organizations (e.g., professional; philanthropic; religious; spiritual; community; student and social). Volunteer work helps build critical competencies, knowledge and skills that can provide valuable training and experience that translates directly to paid employment. You will receive credit for all qualifying experience, including volunteer experience.

Education

This job does not have an education qualification requirement.
