SUMMARY OF RESULTS
1. Survey Coverage: The Aircraft Pneudraulic Systems career ladder wassurveyed to obtain current data for use in training management decisions.The inventory was administered worldwide to 1,751 respondents. All majorcommands were well represented in the survey sample.
2. Specialty Jobs (Career Ladder Structure): "Two clusters and 10 inde-pendent job types were identified in the 423X4 career ladder. Sixty-onepercent of the incumbents were included in the Flightline PneudraulicsPersonnel cluster, which represents the main job of the career field. Withinthis cluster, job groups based on type of aircraft were identified. A secondcluster was composed of predominantly in-shop supervisors. Independent jobtypes consisted of personnel grouped as: Pneudraulic Flightline Supervisors,General Pneudraulic Mechanics, Pneudraulic In-Flight Refueling EquipmentMechanics, In-Shop Pneudraulic Repairmen, CUT Personnel, TrainingSupervisors and FTD Instructors, Technical School Instructors, In-FlightRefueling Equipment Instructors, MAC Inspectors, and SAC Quality ControlPersonnel.
3. Career Ladder Progression: The 423X4 career ladder follows a typicalpattern of progression through the skill levels. Three- and 5-skill levelpersonnel are performing basically technical tasks. Seven-skill levelpersonnel perform technical tasks, as well as supervisory and managementroles.
4. Career Ladder Documents: The AFR 39-1 Specialty Descriptions providean accurate overview of the 423X4 career ladder. Both the STS and POIwere well supported by data but should be reviewed since a number of tasks
! performed by first-enlistment personnel were not matched to these documents.The unmatched tasks should be reviewed to determine their applicability tothese documents.
5. Implications: The 423X4 career ladder does not appear to have changedsignificantly since the 1976 survey. The added inflight refueling responsi-bilities have been absorbed by the using commands without any apparentdifficulty. Training managers should review the items not matched to theSTS or POI for relevancy. Consideration for training must be made on whichfactors are representative of basic pneudraulic functions and which areaircraft-specific and more feasibly taught through follow-on training onmembers' first assignment. In career fields such as the 423X4, it is impor-tant to retain a sufficient number of experienced personnel for effectivefollow-on training.

OCCUPATIONAL SURVEY REPORTAIRCRAFT PNEUDLAULIC SYSTEMS CAREER LADDER
(AFSC 423X4)
INTRODUCTION
This is a report of an occupational survey of the Aircraft PneudraulicSystems career ladder (AFSC 423X4) conducted by the Occupational AnalysisBranch, USAF Occupational Measurement Center. The present survey was
.. requested by the 3330 TCHTW/TTGKS, Chanute AFB IL. This specialty waslast analyzed in 1976.
Background
The historical progression of the 423X4 career ladder dates from 1951,when AFSC 425X0, Aircraft Hydraulic Mechanics, was created. In 1954, thecareer ladder was changed to AFSC 421X2, Aircraft Hydraulic Repairman. In
%1959, the career field title changed to Aircraft and Missile Hydraulic Repair-man, and in 1960, it was renamed Aircraft and Missile Pneudraulic Repairman.In 1976, AFSC 421X2 became AFSC 423X4, Aircraft Pneudraulic Systems (thepresent AFSC). During 1977, the In-Flight Refueling System Mechanics fromAFSC 423X6 were incorporated into the 423X4 career ladder. (In-FlightRefueling Operators became AFSC 11230 career ladder in 1975.)
As described in AFR 39-1 Specialty Descriptions, Aircraft PneudraulicSystems personnel are responsible for inspecting, troubleshooting, installing,repairing, overhauling, and modifying aircraft pneumatic, hydraulic, andin-flight refueling systems and associated aerospace ground equipment.
Primary entry into the career ladder is through a 9-week, 4-day course(C3ABR42334 000) consolidated at Chanute AFB IL. A supplemental course(C3AZR42334 000), In-Flight Refueling Systems, is designed for personnelassigned to SAC. This is a 2-week, 1-day course at Chanute AFB IL.

SURVEY METHODOLOGY
Inventory Development
The data collection instrument for this occupational survey was USAF jobInventory AFPT 90-423-505, dated July 1982. This inventory booklet wascomposed of two parts: a background section in which job incumbents pro-vided information such as grade, duty title, time in service, job satisfaction,and equipment used, and a duty-task list section in which incumbents indicatethe tasks they perform and the relative amount of time spent on those tasks.There were 730 tasks grouped under 12 duty headings.
Survey Administration
Consolidated Base Personnel Offices (CBPO) in operational units world-Awide administered the inventory to personnel holding AFS 423X4. These job
incumbents were selected from a computer-generated mailing list obtained frompersonnel data tapes maintained by the Air Force Human Resources Laboratory(AFHRL).
Each individual completed the background information section andchecked each task performed on their current job. After checking the tasksperformed, the incumbent rated each task on a 9-point scale showing relativetime spent on that task compared to other tasks performed. The ratingsranged from one (very small amount of time spent) through five (aboveaverage time spent) to nine (very large amount time spent).
N To determine relative time spent for each task checked by a respondent,all of an incumbent's ratings are assumed to account for 100 percent ofincumbent's time spent on the job and are summed. Each task rating is thendivided by the total task ratings and then multiplied by 100. This procedureprovides a basis for comparison of tasks in terms of percent members per-forming and average percent time spent.
Survey Sample
Personnel were selected to participate in this survey to ensure an accu-rate representation across major commands (MAJCOM) and paygrade groups.All eligible AFSC 423X4 personnel were mailed inventory booklets in November1982. Approximately 880 booklets from this initial administration were lostwhen the car of the sergeant who was performing a quality review ofreturned booklets was stolen. With the concurrence of personnel at thetechnical school at Chanute Technical Training Center and technical trainingpersonnel at HQ ATC, it was decided to readminister the inventory to those880 personnel to try to recover as many of these respondents as possible.The mailing list was screened to ensure airmen who had previously completeda booklet and in the possession of 0MG would not be asked to do so again.
2
The final sample included 1 ,751 respondents, representing 59 percent ofthe 423X4 career field. Although a 59 percent return rate is lower thannormally accepted (desirable return rate is 75 percent), it was decided to goahead with the sample available rather than to delay this project further.
Table 1 shows the percentage distribution, by major command, oiassigned personnel in the career ladder as of 29 June 1983. Also listed inthis table is the percent distribution, by major command, of respondents inthe final survey sample. As can be seen from this data, the sample generallyparallels assigned strength. The 1,751 respondents included in the finalsample represent 59 percent of the 423X4 career field eligible for the survey.
Table 2 reflects the paygrade group distribution, while Table 3 lists thesample distribution by TAFMS. As reflected in these tables, the surveysample provides a good representation of the career ladder population.
These tables also provide an overview of the individuals in the careerAfield. As shown in Table 1, the operational commands are the prime utilizers
Aof 423X4 career field personnel. The tactical forces (TAG, PACAF, andUSA FE) represent 45 percent of the career ladder assignments.
freThe Aircraft Pneudraulic Systems career field is a relatively juniorfosce. Sixty-two percent are in paygrades E-4 and below; 56 percent of(hse assigned are in their first enlistment. In addition, only 25 percent
(seTable 3) are in career status (third enlistment or beyond). In mainte-nance career fields, such as 423X4 which service a very diverse range ofsystems, maintaining a core of experienced personnel is very important toprovide continuity in the career field.

Task Factor Administration
In addition to completing the job inventory, selected senior 423X4personnel were also asked to complete a second booklet for either taskdifficulty (TD) or training emphasis (TE). The TD and TE booklets areprocessed separately from the job inventories. The rating information is usedin several analyses discussed in this report. Table 4 reflects the commandrepresented for the TD and TE raters. There is a reasonable distribution of
V raters across command; thus, the ratings seem acceptable as a representativesample.
Task Difficulty. Each person completing a task difficulty booklet was askedto rate all inventory tasks on a 9-point scale (from extremely low to extremelyhigh) as to relative difficulty of each task. Difficulty is defined as thelength of time required by an average incumbent to learn to do the task.Task difficulty data were independently collected from 66 experienced 423X4NCOs stationed worldwide. The interrater reliability (as assessed throughcomponents of variance of standard group means) was .95, which reflectshigh agreement among raters. Ratings were adjusted so tasks of averagedifficulty would have a 5.00 rating and a standard deviation of 1.0. Theresulting data are essentially a rank ordering of tasks indicating the degreeof difficulty for each task in the inventory.
Job Difficulty Index JDI). After determining the task difficulty index foreach task item, a job Difficulty Index (JDI) was computed for the job groupsidentified in the survey analysis. The JDI provides a relative measure ofwhich jobs, in comparison to other jobs, are more or less difficult. Anequation using the number of tasks performed and the average difficulty perunit time spent (ADPUTS) as variables are the basis for the JDI. Thus, themore time a group spends on difficult tasks and the more tasks they perform,the higher JDI. The index ranges from 1.0 for very easy jobs to 25.0 for
5
- -- - - • - . - i - - . -.- -_- ,:- r . . . r , . . ,
very difficult jobs. The measurements are adjusted so the average JDI is13.0.
Training Emphasis. Individuals completing training emphasis booklets were.-. ',,ed to rate tasks on a 10-point scale from no training required to extremelyhedvy training required. Training emphasis is a rating of which tasksrequire structured training for first-term personnel. Structured training isdefined as training provided at resident technical schools, field trainingdetachments (FTD), mobile training teams (MTT), formal OJT, or any otherorganized training method. Training emphasis data were independentlycollected from 65 experienced 423X4 personnel stationed worldwide. Theinterrater reliability (as assessed through components of variance of standardgroup means) was .96, which indicates a high degree of agreement. Tasksrated highest in training emphasis had ratings of 4.09 and above, with a.average emphasis rating of 2.50.
When used in conjunction with other factors, such as percent membersperforming, task difficulty and training emphasis ratings can provide insightinto training requirements. Such information helps in evaluating efficiency oftraining programs.

SPECIALTY JOBS(Career Ladder Structure)
The USAF Occupational Analysis Program includes an examination of thecareer ladder structure. This analysis is based on what incumbents indicatethey are doing in the field, determined from task responses. Each person inthe survey performs a set of tasks called their position. A group of posi-tions where many similar tasks are performed and incumbents spend similaramounts of time performing them is called a job type. Job types having asubstantial degree of commonality are grouped and called a cluster.Specialized job types too dissimilar to fit within a cluster are labeled inde-
*" pendent job types.
The career ladder division is based on tasks performed and the amountof time spent on those tasks. The grouping of jobs performed in the 423X4career ladder is illustrated in Figure 1. The cluster, job types, and inde-pendent job types are listed below. The group (GRP) number is a referenceto computer printed information. The letter "N" stands for the number ofpersonnel in the group.

Ninety-two percent of the survey respondents were performing the jobsgrouped within the 2 clusters and the 10 independent job types. Theremaining 8 percent performed tasks or a series of tasks that did not groupwith any of the defined job types. Some of the job titles given by respon-dents which were representative of these personnel include: Maintenance jobController, ISO Dock Supervisor, Resource Advisor, Engine Time ChangeMonitor, and TO Monitor.
Job Descriptions
The following paragraphs describe the job groups identified from thecomputer analysis. Figure 2 illustrates the relative size of each cluster andindependent job type within the total sample. Selected background and job
.,. satisfaction information is provided for these groups in Tables 5 and 6.Table 7 shows the relative percent time spent on duty areas by job groups.Representative tasks for the clusters and independent job types are given inAppendix A.
I. FLIGHTLINE PNEUDRAULIC PERSONNEL (GRP126, N=1 063).Cluster iretbers, 61 percent of the total sample, representhe core job ofthis career field. The average grade is E-4; 67 percent hold a 5-skill levelDAFSC. Approximately half are in their first enlistment. Average months inthe service is 67, with an average of 60 months in the career field. Commandmembership includes: MAC (29 percent), SAC (28 percent), TAC (21percent), USAFE (10 percent), ATC (6 percent), PACAF (2 percent), AFSC
4 (2 percent), AAC (1 percent), and AFLC (1 percent). Twenty-four percentof this group are assigned overseas.
Members of this cluster perform an average of 186 tasks. Their time isspent primarily on technical tasks involving:

The focus of their Job is primarily on flightline maintenance (two-thirdsindicate they work primarily flightline). Although the job emphasis iscentered on flightline duties, they also spend about 10 percent of their time
completing in-shop maintenance.Many tasks are performed in common by members of this cluster regard-
less of aircraft worked on. Most perform tasks related to brake systems,landing gear systems, nose gear, and steering systems. Specific examples oftasks are:
perform operational checks of nose wheel steeringsystems
perform operational checks of brake systemsremove or install engine driven hydraulic pumpsbleed or service brakesremove or install components of landing gearretraction or extension systems
remove or install hydraulic filter assemblies orelements
Within the cluster, five job groups were identified. The primary factorwhich distinguished these job types is the performance of tasks related tospecific types of aircraft. While the separate job groups show unique charac-teristics, they also have a common bond with other members of the cluster.Job groups are discussed below.
A. Training Aircraft Pneudraulic Personnel (GRP487, N=61).This rather junior group is primarily responsible for flightliiie maintenance onthe T-37B and T-38A. Ninety-two percent are assigned to ATC. Althoughtheir average time in the career field is only 33 months, 90 percent haveobtained the 5-skill level. Seventy-four percent are in their first enlistment(average grade is between E-3 and E-4).
Members are performing a very technical job involving an average of 138
tasks, with a JDI of 13.2. The tasks listed below illustrate the type oftechnical undertakings performed specifically by members of this job group.

other Equipment used more by these incumbents than their counterparts inother groups include brake lining grinders, face gauges, spring compressors,and compression riveter machines. Many parts on the T-37 and T-38 aremore easily repaired than on more complex aircraft. This may account for theunique use of these equipment items.
B. Airlift Aircraft Pneudraulic Personnel (GRP292, N251.Eighty-eight percent oFthemebers are assigned to MAC They per ormbasic flightline pneudraulic maintenance on the C-5A, C-130B, C-130E,C-130H, C-141B, and T-39A. Tasks uniquely performed by representativesof this job type are:
Perform operational checks of elevator systemsremove or install elevator systemsremove or install cargo doorsinspect aircraft installed elevator boost packassemblies
isolate malfunctions to elevator systemsisolate malfunctions to cargo doors
They perform an average of 153 tasks, with a JDI of 14.4.
Most members of this group hold a DAFSC of 42354. Their average timein the career field is 53 months; average time in the service is 58 months.Fifty-eight percent are in their first enlistment. Average grade is E-4.
- . C. Fighter Aircraft Pneudraulic Personnel (GRP296, N=270). The
majority of these personnel are assigned to the taccal commands (TAC,e.1*
PACAF, and USAFE), with 40 percent serving overseas. Primary aircraft. serviced (by 10 percent or more of the group members) are A-10A, F-4E,4F-16A, F-16B, and RF-4C.
Members are in their second tour of duty (average TAFMS is 62months). Sixty-eight percent hold a 5-skill level and 22 percent haveattained the 7-skill level. Average grade is E-4.
Performing their flightine duties involves such tasks as:
walk wings or tails during aircraft towing operationsjack or level aircraftposition or remove aircraft chocks or ground safetypins
tow aircraft
Tasks specific to the aircraft members service include
.1,.

.A
.%67
perform operational checks of pneudraulic arrestinghook systems
inspect aircraft installed pneudraulic arrestinghook systems
Group members do not perform as many of the common tasks associatedwith in-shop maintenance or maintaining AGE or shop equipment. This lackof performance of duties in this area is probably a function of the COMO(formerly POMO) organization concept employed by the representative com-mands.
Members of this group perform an average of 142 tasks, resulting in aJDI of 13.7.
D. Rescue and Recovery Aircraft Pneudraulic Personnel (GRP443,N=10). This simal group from-MAC specializes in aircraft associated withrescue and recovery missions. They are predominantly associated with theHC-130H, HC-130N, HC-130P, UH-1F, UH-lN, HH-3E, and the HH-53B. Theyperform an average of 198 tasks (JDI is 16.7) related primarly to helicopterfunctions, in addition to refueling activities (HC-130). Tasks performed bythis group include:
inspect air refueling hydraulic systemsisolate malfunctions within rotor brake systemsisolate malfunctions within rotor wing collectivecontrol systems
remove or install components of air refuelinghydraulic systems
adjust cyclic servo cylinder assembliesperform operational checks of air refueling
hydraulic systems
This job type represents a more senior group performing pneudraulic
maintenance on rescue and recovery aircraft. Their average grade is E-5.Eight of the ten indicate they hold a DAFSC of 42374. Members have anaverage of 124 months TAFMS. All ten indicate they are supervising. Halfof the group are serving in overseas positions.
E. Bomber/Tanker Aircraft Pneudraulic Personnel (GRP222,N12). This ]ob type achieves uniqueness through the performance ofin-tflit refueling tasks. Ninety-four percent of the respondents areassigned to SAC and service the B-52G, B-52H, KC-135A, and KC-135Q.

Comparisons Among Job Groups
Analysis of the 423X4 career ladder structure indicates a basic divisionof in-shop and flightline groups. Within each of these divisions, there werefurther divisions based on level of experience. In addition, members in theFlightline Personnel cluster were divided into subgroups or job types, basedon type of aircraft maintained. In-Shop Personnel perform a less specializedjob, working on similar components from a variety of aircraft systems.
The largest group of incumbents (61 percent) were included in theFlightline Personnel cluster. Members of this cluster performed an average of186 tasks and have the highest JDI (15.7) for this career field.
The In-Shop Supervisor cluster and the independent job types generallyrepresented smaller groups performing more specialized jobs. Their averagenumber of tasks ranged from 38 to 128. The most senior personnel werefound within the NCOIC Shop and Branch Chief's job type (197 monthsTAFMS) and the Pneudraulic Flightline Supervisors independent job type (156months TAFMS). The greatest concentration of first-termers was found inthe In-Shop Pneudraulic Repairmen and General Pneudraulics Mechanics jobtypes.

Job satisfaction among the 423X4 personnel generally was good (seeTable 6). Only two of the job types, Flightline Pneudraulic Supervisors andSupply Personnel, indicated a lower job interest. CUT Personnel were lesspositive in rating use of their talents and training.
Reenlistment intentions among the pneudraulics groups generally arehigh. Sixty-seven percent of the Flightline Pneudraulic Personnel cluster,which represents the largest group, indicate they plan to reenlist. The mostpositive reenlistment attitudes were shown by the Technical SchoolInstructors, Training Supervisors, and FTD Instructors. The groupsexpressing the lowest positive reenlistment intent were the NCOIC Shop andBranch Chiefs, General Pneudraulics Mechanics, and Supply Personnel.Twenty-eight percent of the NCOIC Shop and Branch Chief job type plan toretire. In view of their time in service, this would not be unexpected. TheGeneral Pneudraulic Mechanics job type, however, is primarily first-termpersonnel and this trend may cause some concern.
Career ladder jobs were also compared for difficulty using the JobDifficulty Index (JDI) described in the Task Factor Administration section ofthis report. The JDI is calculated from the n-umer of tasks performed andthe relative difficulty of these tasks. The Flightline Pneudraulic Personneljob cluster represents the highest JDI (15.7). Within this cluster, theBomber/Tanker Aircraft Pneudraulic Personnel show an even higher JDI of18.1. These incumbents also perform the largest average number of taskswhich reflect a broader and more difficult job.
The group with the lowest JDI (3.0) was the supply job type whereincumbents perform only a few specialized tasks. Others with fairly low JDIswere Technical School Instructors, CUT Personnel, and In-Shop PneudraulicRepairmen. All of these jobs are limited in scope. In addition, the CUTPersonnel and In-Shop Pneudraulic Repairmen job types have high per-centages of first-enlistment personnel.
Overall, the 423X4 career field displays a satisfactory degree of jobsatisfaction and reenlistment potential.

ANALYSIS OF DAFSC GROUPS
An analysis of DAFSC groups, in conjunction with the identification andanalysis of the job structure of the 423X4 career ladder, is an important partof each occupational analysis. The DAFSC analysis reveals similarities anddifferences between the various skill levels in relation to the tasks theyperform and the relative percentage of time spent on particular duties. Thisinformation is used to evaluate the accuracy of career ladder documents, suchas the AFR 39-1 Specialty Descriptions and the Specialty Training Standard(STS), as well as to determine potential training needs.
The distribution of skill level groups across the career ladder clustersand independent job types is displayed in Table 8. The largest portion of
• each skill level is found in the Flightline Pneudraulics Personnel cluster,
which represents the mainstream of the career ladder. Table 9 showsexamples of tasks performed in common by all skill levels. Many of thesetasks are included in the above cluster.
-: Table 10 presents the relative percent time spent on each duty areaacross skill-level groups. This table illustrates the pattern of progressionfor this career field. Three- and 5-skill level personnel are performingbasically technical tasks. The main focus of their job involves removing,installing, and servicing pneudraulic systems and components, as well asperforming operational checks, inspecting, and performing maintenance onpneudraulc systems. The 7-skill level personnel still perform technicaltasks; however, they now spend approximately 43 percent of their time onsupervisory and administrative tasks (Duty areas A through F). In addition,as skill level increases so does the breadth of the job and the number ofpersonnel supervising (see below).

Skill Level Descriptions
DAFSC 42334. Three-skill level personnel, representing 10 percent of thesurvey sample, indicated that approximately 79 tasks accounted for 50 percentof their job time. Table 11 presents representative examples of tasks for thisgroup. They spend 72 percent of their time performing basic pneudraulicmaintenance. The greatest concentration of their time is spent removing,

... .. . . .. . .
*.-.
installing, and servicing aircraft pneudraulic systems and components (21percent), performing operational checks of aircraft pneudraulic systems (15percent), and performing in-shop maintenance (15 percent).
DAFSC 42354. The 5-skill level incumbents (1,085) comprise 62 percent oft he survey sample. They perform a somewhat broader job than their 3-skilllevel counterparts. One hundred and five tasks account for 50 percent oftheir job time. They spend their job time basically in the same areas as the3-skill level personnel: removing, installing, and servicing pneudraulicssystems and components (18 percent) and performing operational checks (15
. percent). Their job, as shown in Table 12, is still primarily technical.Tasks which differentiate between 3- and 5-skill level personnel are shown inTable 13. The tasks which separate the two skill levels illustrate the initialassumption of some supervisory duties (such as conduct OJT and supervise3-skill level personnel). In addition, they also further their technicaladvancement to more "troubleshooting" type tasks.
DAFSC 42374. The 467 7-skill level personnel (27 percent of the sample)perform more administrative and supervisory duties. Approximately 127 tasksaccount for 50 percent of their job time. Representative tasks for this skilllevel are given in Table 14. The 7-skill level position is divided betweentechnical areas involving maintenance functions and a more supervisory andadministrative role. Tasks which differentiate between the 5- and 7-skilllevel personnel are shown in Table 15. These differences further illustrate
:61- the assumption of a higher role within management of the career field.

ANALYSIS OF AFR 39-1 SPECIALTY DESCRIPTIONS
Survey data were compared to the AFR 39-1 Specialty Descriptions forthe 423X4 career area. These descriptions are intended to give a broadoverview of the duties and tasks performed in each skill level of a specialty.
-' The specialty descriptions appear to reflect the 3-, 5-, and 7-skill leveljobs within the Pneudraulic career field. Three- and 5-skill level personnelbasically are accomplishing technical tasks, while the 7-skill level assumes amore advisory role in the performance of technical skills.

ANALYSIS OF EXPERIENCE (TAFMS) GROUPS
Reviewing utilization patterns for survey respondents at different TotalActive Federal Military Service (TAFMS) points gives an appreciation of howjobs and responsibilities change over time. As is typical in most careerladders, as time in service (and experience) increase, there is a corre-sponding increase in performance of duties involving supervisory, managerial,and administrative tasks. As Table 16 shows, the changes in relative per-centage of time spent on each of the major duty areas occur very graduallyas experience level increases. As illustrated in Figure 3, with additionalmonths accumulated in TAFMS, 423X4 airmen show a steady trend towardassumption of supervisory and administrative functions. First-enlistmentpersonnel (1-48 months TAFMS) personnel spend the vast majority of theirtime on technical tasks (Duties G-N). Personnel in the second throughfourth enlistment groups still spend the majority of their time on technicaltasks, but also show a definite transition toward the performance of super-visory and administrative tasks. Personnel serving their fifth enlistment orbeyond spend the majority of their time performing managerial duties.
First- Enlistment Personnel
A.< First-enlistment personnel (1-48 months TAFMS) spend the vast majorityof their time on duties involving maintenance of aircraft pneudraulic systems.They remove, install, and service aircraft pneudraulic systems and compo-nents. Incumbents perform operational checks and inspect pneudraulicsystems as well as performing in-shop maintenance of components (see Table16). First-term personnel perform an average of 131 tasks. Typical tasksinclude performing operational checks on brake systems, bleed or servicebrake systems, and remove or install engine driven hydraulic pumps.Representative tasks are listed in Table 17. Figure 4 displays the distribu-tion of first-term members across the career ladder jobs. The largestpercentage of airmen in their first enlistment were found in the FlightlinePneudraulic Personnel cluster, which represents the technical "mainstream" ofthe career field.
Equipment
Table 18 contains a list of equipment used or operated by 10 percent ormore of incumbents in their first enlistment. The equipment is listed indescending order of the percent of first-term (1-48 months TAFMS) personnelusing each item. There were 49 items included in the background equipmentlist. Of these, 16 pieces of equipment were used by at least 30 percent of allfirst-term personnel. Consultation with technical school personnel involvedwith the basic course indicated that all but two of these items were coveredin the basic course. Pressure and leak testers and pneudraulic test standswere the items not employed. The use of these items might be reviewed forpossible inclusion in the ABR course.

Respondents were also requested to indicate aircratt on which tht-e, per-form maintenance. Table 19 presents a listing of representative aircraft (,percent or more) on which first-term airmen perform maintenance. Thelargest percentage of personnel work on the KC-135A (21 percent), C-14113B(18 percent), C-5A (13 percent), and T-38A (12 percent). These rel.tivelysmall percentages indicate there is no "common" aircraft system maintained bya majority of first-enlistment personnel. While personnel assigned to SA'Vattend a special course on in-flight refueling, training on other specificaircraft becomes the responsibility of the receiving organization1. The diver..sity of aircraft makes follow-on training critical.
job Satisfaction
Table 20 presents data reflecting the job interest, perceived utili7ationof talents and training, and. reenlistment intentions of selected £AFMS qroupsand a comparative sample of all Mission Equipment Maintenance career ladderssurveyed in 1983. Overall, 423X4 personnel show good satisfaction across allTAFMS groups. Eighty percent of first-enlistment personnel found their jobinteresting, 88 percent indicated their talents were well utilized, and 90percent felt their training was being utilized.
Reenlistment intent (62 percent yes or probably yes) for first-termpersonnel is significantly higher than for the comparative sample. All TA EMSgroups show a higher reenlistment intent than the comparative sample.(Similar trends have been noted in recent studies).
Overall, Pneudraulic Systems Personnel indicate substantial job interestand utilization of training and talents.

SPECIALTY TRAINING
Sixty-five NOOs in the 423X4 career ladder rated items in the job inven-tory on the degree of emphasis that should be placed on each task for first-enlistment training. These ratings were processed to provide a rank-orderlisting of tasks from high degree of emphasis to no training required. Theaverage rating was 2.50, with a standard deviation of 1.59, so tasksreceiving a rating of 4.09 or above were considered high in trainingemphasis. (For a more complete description of these ratings, see the sectionon Task Factor Administration under SURVEY METHODOLOGY.)
The tasks performed by relatively high percentages of first- enlistmentpersonnel generally received the highest training emphasis ratings. Onehundred and twenty-three tasks were rated high in training emphasis (4.09or above). Of those tasks, only 3 were performed by less than 30 percent ofthe 1-48 months group. Two of those tasks were rated slightly aboveaverage in task difficulty.
Table 21 lists the 25 tasks rated highest in training emphasis asexamples to illustrate the types of tasks considered important for first-termtraining by senior technicians. Note that all of the top 25 tasks were per-formed by 50 percent or more of first-term personnel.
Six of the 25 tasks were not matched with the POI. These are:
K(578 Repack shock struts on aircraftL664 Fabricate medium pressure rubber hose assembliesK546 Remove or install components of nose wheel steering
systemsL662 Fabricate high pressure teflon hose assembliesK558 Remove or install components of shock strutsK(576 Remove or install pneudraulic hose assemblies
These tasks might be considered for resident course training. There were anadditional 15 tasks rated high in training emphasis and performed by at least50 percent of first- enlistment personnel not matched with the P0I. Thesealso should be evaluated by training personnel. A total of 63 tasks ratedabove average in training emphasis were not matched to the POI.
Tasks rated average (2.50 mean) were generally performed by less than30 percent of the relevant members. Examples of such tasks are:

The tasks lowest in training emphasis related to nontechnical managementrequirements.
Overall. the tasks being performed by larger percentages of first-termpersonnel received the highest training ratings. Conversely, tasks performedby few in the 1-48 months group were rated low on training emphasis. Thus,the TE ratings make an excellent summary index with which to examinespecialty training control documents.

Analysis of the Specialty Training Standard (STS)
A review of STS 423X4, dated October 1978, compared STS elements tosurvey data. STS paragraphs containing general information or subject-matter knowledge requirements were not evaluated.
The elements listed in the STS with tasks referenced to them generallywere well supported in terms of being performed by a substantial percent ofspecialty incumbents. All but a few elements were performed by at least 10percent of the respondents in their first- enlistment or at the 5- or 7-skilllevel. Areas which reflect low percent members performing (less than 10percent for a coded level) include publications, supervision, tang, selec-tion of maintenance material, and aerospace ground equipment. Elements withmatched tasks reflecting low performance are given in Table 22. STS ele-ments without inventory tasks matched are presented in Table 23. Theseelements may not have been matched because the element was inappropriatelycoded as a performance item, rather than a knowledge item, or inventory
.; .::tasks appropriate to that item were unclear or omitted. These areas should.~.* .9.be reviewed to determine the validity of their inclusion in the STS.
~: : A number of inventory tasks were not matched to STS elements. Table24 provides a listing of 30 tasks performed by at least 30 percent of first-
'~ enlistment and 5-skill level incumbents. Several tasks not referenced have.9.. average or above average training emphasis ratings, and over 10 percent of
the first- enlistment personnel performing them. Thus, the tasks should beincluded in the STS as line entries or should be covered by some existingSTS element. If it is determined that there are no tasks in the inventorywhich can be matched to a valid performance element, or covered in FTD orOJT, it is requested that subject-matter specialists draft the necessary taskstatements and send them to USAFOMC for review and inclusion in the nexttask inventory constructed for this specialty.

Plan of Instruction (POI)
Based on previously mentioned assistance from technical school subject-matter specialists in matching inventory tasks to the POI, a computer productwas generated displaying the results of the matching process. Informationfurnished on the computer printout includes training emphasis (TE) and taskdifficulty (TD), as well as percent members performing data for first-job(1-24 months TAFMS) and first- enlistment (1-48 months TAFMS) personnel.
The percent members performing the inventory tasks generally support*the technical portion of the POI. There were only four P01 blocks which
reflected low performance by first-term personnel (see Table 25). Tasksreferenced to these blocks concerned material deficiency reports, researchingtechnical orders, making entry on technical order system publication improve-
- .. ment report and reply, and performing operational checks of hydraulic testequipment. These tasks had slightly higher than average TE ratings, whichindicates some structured training, iL e. ,OJT, may be appropriate.
There were several POI blocks not matched with inventory tasks. Whilethese performance objectives generally were broader than the job inventorytasks, they still are in need of review. These blocks covered such areas as:electrical principles and circuits (use of multimeter and series circuittrainer), troubleshooting the nose wheel steering system, operating hydraulictest stand, operating the hydraulic or pneumatic servicing carts, andservicing trainer reservoir.
* Seventy-eight inventory tasks performed by 30 percent or more first-enlistment personnel, many having high training emphasis, were notreferenced to any portion of the P01. All of these tasks had average orabove training emphasis ratings. In addition, 19 of these tasks were per-
vformed by more than 50 percent of the target group.
Since the career field utilizes many different systems which are aircraftspecific, the data was examined by first-term MAJCOM groups, as well as thetotal sample. It was found that, generally, the unmatched tasks performed
* by at least 50 percent of the total first-enlistment career field population,were performed across all commands. Thus, they are indicative of represen-tative tasks which could be appropriate in a formal course setting. The itemsperformed by 30 to 49 percent show more variations within commands. Forexample, tasks involving aircraft installed elevator systems are performedpredominantly by personnel assigned to MAC. Aircraft refueling tasks areperformed by SAC incumbents who attend a special follow-on course. TACand ATC personnel adjust components of horizontal tail or stabilizer systems.
The unmatched tasks should be reviewed by training managers to deter-mine if they should be added to resident training or follow-on training (FTD,OJT, etc).

COMPARISON OF MAJCOMs
Another dimension along which jobs performed by individuals may vary isacross major commands (MAICOM). Differences among MAJCOM groups couldhave implications for how the specialty is organized or how new personnel aretrained. Thus, an examination of the duties and tasks performed by incum-bents according to MAJCOM is necessary. (Background information forMAJCOM groups is given in Table 27.)
*Overall, MAJCOMs were very similar in average percent time performingduties (see Table 28). There were, however, certain MAJCOMs spendingmore time on particular duty areas. For example, ATC had the highestpercentage of time spent on training (Duty D), which agrees with their basicmission. AFSC incumbents spend sliaitly more time performing in-shopmaintenance than other command members. Incumbents assigned to ATC,SAC, and MAC spend less time on cross-utilization tasks.
There were also some variations in tasks performed across MAJCOMs.One area where tasks varied among MAJCOMs was in average number of tasksperformed: AFSC performed the broadest range of tasks (205), while AFLCaveraged the least average number of tasks (86).
* -\ The Flightline Pneudraulic Personnel cluster was divided into five func-tional groups based on type of aircraft maintained. Job types within thesefunctional groups basically reflect command assignment as well. For example,personnel assigned to SAC service aircraft refueling systems and do not workon aileron systems. MAC personnel concentrate on cargo door and elevator
. operations. They generally do not maintain speed brakes or reservoirsystems. Tactical forces personnel (TAC, PACAF, USAFE) are concerneduniquely with the arresting hook systems. Training aircraft personnel fromATC emphasize horizontal tail or stabilizer systems, speed break systems, andaircraft reservoir systems. Basically, the amount of time spent on eachtechnical area and the type of tasks performed are similar across commands.The unique aircraft systems maintained by each group do, however, vary.Aircraft maintained by at least 20 percent of the incumbents within a commandare indicated in Table 29. As shown in this table, there is a wide variationin the number of aircraft serviced within a command. Equipment used by atleast 30 percent of command members is shown in Table 30. There were somevariations by command in use of equipment. For instance, SAC personnel
*.: uniquely use the brake spin riveting machine, protractors, and the spinriveter machines. Wing jacks and pneumatic test stands are utilized bymembers of USAFE, AFLC, and TAC. This list of equipment might beexamined to determine if a piece of equipment might be better utilized fortraining at command level rather than the general course.
Table 31 provides information regarding the organizational structure bycommand. Most members are assigned to a pneudraulic shop performingduties either on the flightline or in shop. AFSC, MAC, and SAC personnelgenerally indicate they perform field maintenance. AFLC members concentrate
66
on depot maintenance. Members of the tactical commands are basically dividedbetween field maintenance, organizational maintenance, and consolidated main-tenance.
In terms of satisfaction (see Table 32), at least 74 percent of allMAICOMs, except AFLC, found their job interesting. There was also agree-ment (80 percent or above), except for AFLC, on satisfaction with utilizationof talents and training. Despite the lower job satisfaction ratings, membersof AFLC expressed the highest reenlistment intent (81 percent yes orprobably yes). AAC incumbents had the lowest reenlistment intent of theMAICOM groups.
Duty area time did not vary significantly from one command to another.Differences in command groups were based primarily on technical tasks per-formed on command associated aircraft. While the type of tasks in removingor installing do not vary much, the specific aircraft systems do. This rangeof systems and equipment used in the field creates a definite need for follow-on training in the career field.

ANALYSIS OF CONUS VERSUS OVERSEAS GROUPS
..
Comparisons were made of the tasks performed and background data for827 AFSC 42354 personnel assigned within the continental United States(CONUS) versus 248 airmen assigned overseas.
No major differences in the utilization of these groups were found. Themost time-consuming areas for each group (see Table 33) were Removing,Installing, and Servicing Aircraft Pneudraulic Systems, Performing OperationalChecks, and Inspecting Aircraft Pneudraulic Systems. The average numberof tasks performed by the CONUS and overseas samples were approximatelythe same (142 CONUS versus 135 overseas). Table 34 provides a listing ofsample tasks which differentiate between the CONUS and overseas samples.Greater percentages of individuals working within CONUS were performingtasks related to specific systems, cargo doors, and elevator systems. Theyare also performing more in-shop functions, such as assemble or disassemblehydraulic actuating cylinders. Larger percentages of overseas personnel
-. perform cross-utilization training (CUT) tasks. Although these tasks showdifferences, they are basically minor variations which reflect specific aircraftresponsibilities and maintenance organization concept (COMO vs AFR 66-1).
Background data was similar for the two groups. As shown in Table 35,job satisfaction and utilization were relatively high for airmen assigned bothoverseas and within CONUS. Although high, overseas airmen had a slightly
.. lower perceived utilization of training (90 vs 83 percent respondingo, positively). There was no difference in reenlistment intentions between the
groups.
Overall, this review did not reveal any major differences in utilizationbetween personnel assigned overseas and those serving in the CONUS.

COMPARISON TO PREVIOUS SURVEY
The results of the last survey in the 423X4 career ladder were reviewedto determine changes, if any, in the jobs performed by aircraft pneudraulicsystems personnel. The last survey of this career ladder- was made in 1976under AFS 421X2, Aircraft Pneudraulic Repairman/Repair Technician careerladder. The career field was changed from AFS 421X2 to AFS 423X4 on30 April 1976. During 1977, In-Flight Refueling Systems Mechanics from AFS423X6 were incorporated into the 423X4 career ladder. The addition of In-Flight Refueling Personnel appears to have been accomplished withoutdifficulty. Personnel assigned to SAC attend a follow-on course aftercompleting the basic ABR program.
Job satisfaction factors were compared for the 1976 and 1984 TAFMSgroups (see Table 36). Expressed job interest, utilization of talents andtraining is higher for first-term personnel in the 1984 sample. Reenlistmentintent is also considerably higher for the 1-48 month group in the 1984sample. After the first-enlistment period, the pattern of job satisfaction,though high, begins a shifting pattern. By the fourth-enlistment, the 1984sample shows a slightly less favorable pattern than the 1976 sample. Reen-listment intent is high for both samples through the fourth-enlistment period.At the fifth-enlistment point, only 42 percent of the 1984 sample (52 percentin 1976 sample) indicate they plan to reenlist.
The current job structure analysis resulted in 2 clusters and j0 in-dependent job types. The 1976 analysis identified 16 groupings. Thegeneral areas covered by the groupings in the 1976 study are listed below.
I. General Pneudraulic RepairmenII. Specific Type Aircraft Pneudraulic RepairmenIII. In-Shop Pneudraulic Repairmen and NCOICsIV. SupervisorsV. Training Personnel
VI. Antenna Systems TechniciansVII. SAC Quality Control Inspectors
The 1976 and 1984 job analysis show the same basic structure of the career*ladder. In the 1984 analysis, division occurred among the general jobs based
on the addition of in-flight refueling duties performed primarily by SACpersonnel. For instance, in the 1984 career structure, two general pneu-draulic mechanics job types (primarily first-term personnel) were identified.The two job groups were performing many of the same tasks; however, onegroup was responsible for in-flight refueling equipment, the other group wasnot. The 1976 analysis identified a small group of five incumbents known asantenna systems technicians, which were not identified as a job type in thecurrent analysis. This group was included in the Flightline PneudraulicPersonnel cluster. Generally, the career ladder structure seems to follow thesame pattern as shown in the 1976 analysis.
Skill level and TAFMS groups are comparable, following the normal lineof progression.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
The pneumatic portion of the basic course was dropped in 1976, sinceonly one aircraft in the inventory required. knowledge of this type system.No information was available, however, to determine how many personnel wereperforming tasks related to pneumatic systems or components. To determineif training should be required, items in the current 423X4 inventory were
* split to identify "hydraulic" and "pneumatic" functions separately.-
Tasks involving pneumatic activities are shown in Table 37. In exam-ining the percent members performing data, only one task, "service aircraftpneumatic systems", was performed by more than 30 percent of the first-enlistment personnel. (This task also had a high TE rating.) The
* percentage of members performing tasks shown for the major commandsamples, however, shows that personnel assigned to TAG and USAFE performmany of the pneumatic functions. This indicates that, while the total per-centage performing these penumnatic tasks does not necessarily create arequirement for formal school training, some specific type of training, i .e.,trailer course, OJT, or FTD, probably should be provided by the specificcommands. This is further emphasized by tasks which show above averageTE ratings, such as items G271, 1424, and K553 (see Table 37).

IMPLICATIONS
Occupational survey results show 423X4 personnel perform maintenanceon a common core of pneudraulic systems (i .e.*, brake, nose gear). Many ofthe systems serviced by these pneudraulic specialists are aircraft specific.Consideration for training must be made on which factors are representativeof basic pneudraulic functions and which are aircraft specific and morefeasibly taught through follow-on training on incumbent's first assignment.The large number of first-term personnel in this career ladder, combined withthe variety of aircraft systems maintained, places heavy emphasis on bothformal school and follow-on training. These factors also create a demand to
~Cy retain senior skill personnel to accomplish follow-through training on specificaircraft systems.
Generally, the STS and POI were supported by the survey data.* However, a number of tasks performed by first- enlistment personnel were not
matched to these documents. Training managers should review the items notmatched to determine their applicability to the STS and POI.
job satisfaction and reenlistment potential appear positive in this careerladder. Comparison of the AFR 39-1 Specialty Description with survey infor-mation indicates support of this document.
-y Basically, the career field appears stable.
