Operations Officer at RAF Barkston Heath

My favourite part of the job:

Continuing to work in the military environment, whilst enjoying the stability of civilian life.

My greatest challenge at Ascent so far:

Understanding the dynamic of being in a company owned by Lockheed Martin and Babcock, which then sub contracts major functions back to Lockheed Martin and Babcock.

My day to day activities as an Operations Officer:

Opening the Ops Support building each morning, setting up the computers to display the pertinent information to the pilots. Preparing the pilots’ morning brief, obtaining weather briefing and aircraft availability. Booking of diversion airfield and advising Air Traffic Control and engineers of changes to the flying programme. Checking and displaying NOTAMs throughout the day. Assisting pilots in using the Mission Planning System for planning and debriefing. Closing up the Ops Support building each evening, ensuring computer systems are updated and cross-checking paper and electronic authorization sheets to ensure are 100% correct. Make best use of our technology and training support equipment to maximise the learning experience of the students.
