This is currently a virtual/remote position, overseeing virtual/remote classes and instructors.  However, these duties could be recalled to onsite delivery at the FAA Academy in the future.

The AT Basics Supervisor is responsible for overseeing and directing the activities of contractor personnel providing instructional support conducting and administering Course 50043, Air Traffic Basics (Terminal), Course 50143, Air Traffic Basics (En Route), and/or Course 50043001 Air Traffic Basics TRACON, which deal with aviation topics such as aerodynamics, aviation charts, and airport marking.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is responsible for ensuring that air traffic control specialists provide the flying public with a high level of safety and professionalism. A well-trained Air Traffic Control (ATC) workforce plays an essential role in fulfilling this responsibility. The FAA employs more than 14,000 air traffic controllers. They work in air traffic facilities of varying sizes, safely separating more than 50,000 aircraft in the National Airspace System (NAS) each day.

To provide such air traffic services, the FAA trains new air traffic control specialists and provides recurrent training to current air traffic control specialists.
