- Supports pilots in real time with operational decision-making, risk assessment, and problem resolution, and guides mission execution to maximize capture efficiency and sun-angle utilization while minimizing downtime.
- Coordinates closely with Maintenance to ensure aircraft availability, status visibility, and timely return-to-service; oversees pilot discrepancy reporting quality and accurate documentation of aircraft issues; and supports/coordinates Functional Check Flights (FCF), validation, and post-maintenance checks.
- Conducts routine audits of SOP and FOM compliance, addressing deviations through training and standardization, and leads initiatives to improve standardization, safety practices, and operational consistency.
- Monitors and analyzes key operational metrics (capture success rate, rejection rate, aircraft downtime, mission completion efficiency), identifies trends, and implements corrective actions to improve performance and work toward KPI objectives.
- Serves as a primary point of contact for pilots — providing clear operational guidance, expectations, updates, notices, and best practices — and supports pilot development through coaching, feedback, and performance management, helping develop airmanship, professional standards, and aeronautical decision-making.
