Act as the Commanding Officer’s designated representative responsible for the safe execution of the flight schedule and certifying aircraft safe for flight. Oversee the FRC East Flight Check Department which led to the safe execution of functional check flight hours for AH-1W / UH-1N, MV/CV-22B, CH-53E/MH-53E, F-35A/B/C. Prepared 100+ aircraft for functional check flights and delivery flights while adhering to the COMNAVAIRFORINST 4790.2 , OPNAV 3710.7 and the 3710.1X, CSEC 6600 directives to include higher level directives, 5 local directives and Fleet Readiness Center Instructions and all applicable technical directives, LSPs and Standard Operating procedures. Implemented and trained staff on white and electronic board to monitor flight line and flight check activity via CP Web. I Informed management of progress and advised on matters pertaining to aircraft assigned. Transferred and screened aircraft to the logs and records department to ensure incoming and outgoing aircraft flight requirements were met.

To maintain a productive working relationship, regularly interact with artisans as well as Fleet and FRCE management regarding lateral support, production and quality issues. Assist Product Support Logisticians (PSL) to provide in depth production experience that allows them an unprecedented view and understanding of the production processes, needs and delays. My successful time spent working with the aircraft lines in Flight Check Core Team has allowed me to develop outstanding relationships with Senior Leadership inside the FRCE as well as outside customers. Interact with Engines and Components IPT leads and Product Support Logisticians (PSLs) to successfully resolve production and supply issues to include discrepant parts, work stops, and clarification in various instructions. Always looking for opportunities to improve in sustaining engineering. By working with the engine and support equipment engineers to correct any issues involving a technical directive that have caused a need for new support equipment or other resources in order to properly serve the fleet.

Excel in preparation, presentation, and communication of complex technical issues and ideas to a diverse audience of various levels of leadership spanning across both military and civilian. Organize team inputs and prepare updates pertaining to various meetings and briefs to include Configuration Management, Mission degraders, Monthly Program Management Review, Project phase reviews, and various data calls by direction of leadership. Screen all work performed in the following areas specification compliance, technical directive compliance, Functional Test Flight (FCF), validation of scheduled daily and hourly inspections. Manage and supervise all activity in or around the FRC East flight line. Developed and executed a plan to reduce the logistics footprint by screening and inventorying all parts for current configuration. Proficiently use technical publications and with Engineering, Task Managers, Plane Captains, and Estimator & Evaluators to check for unusable parts, corrosion, damage, and improperly preserved and stored items. Validate approved modification kits received from the Central Kitting Agency (CKA) are utilized. Ensure 7R inventory items have been properly routed and utilized in the post assembly of aircraft prior to flight. This process has significantly reduced overall cost by decreasing required storage space as well as manpower for tracking, receiving and transporting kits. This effort yielded maximum retrograde item flow into the repair schedule reducing the potential of possible bare firewalls and increasing overall readiness.

F-35 Autonomic Logistics Information System (ALIS) is a crucial element of the F-35 weapon system to ensure the fundamental principles of aviation safety of flight are maintained and certified before flight. 4 safe for flight, 4 Plane Captains and 5 taxi turn licenses have been produced to support the success of the F-35B integration to FRC-East. As with any other aircraft system critical for flight, ALIS must be maintained in an operational status to release an aircraft for flight. ALIS serves as the information infrastructure for the F-35 and provides operational planning, maintenance planning, Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Technical data and Air Vehicle (AV) data. As the only FRC East employee who has release for flight authority and extensive knowledge on ALIS integral applications, I am responsible for the reviewing all local documentation that is generated and associated with F-35 modifications while at Fleet Readiness Center East (FRC East). I have been functioning as FRC East ALIS Maintenance Controller Chief for the past 36 months. I am considered the site Subject Matter Expert (SME) in the safe for flight process and have trained other controllers at FRC East in the proper use of these applications. This resulted in cost saving and schedule flexibility for the FRC East because they do not have a Military SME for this type-model-series to oversee this qualification at FRC. By serving as the FRC East F-35 civil certification manager. It allows FRC East and the F-35 community to perform the safe process, perform ground runs, FCF in the local in modification site vicinity. Work with the ALIS engineer technician to review ARs and work review the resolution from LST and LM to ensure the aircraft is safe prior to flying. In my current position I have reviewed of over 300 ARs to keep production and delivery of modified aircraft on schedule and used information to safe for flight function. If this is not done in a timely manner, there can be delays to the mod line or cause an aircraft to be grounded. These actions resulted in aircraft configuration being flight cleared and safe for flight with an on-time delivery to meet customer requirements.

Coordinated ALIS training for Fleet Readiness Center East personnel and plane captain training. Provided hands on ALIS training to Maintenance Controllers, Safe for Flight personnel. Coordinated and managed all the plane captains and Integrated power plant and low power turn qualifications for FRC EAST personnel as well as researched and analyzed requirements while complying with the 4790.2.
