JOB REQUIREMENTS: Examine and inspect aircraft components, including

landing gear, hydraulic systems, and deicers to locate cracks, breaks,

leaks, or other problems. Conduct routine and special inspections as

required by regulations. Inspect completed work to certify that

maintenance meets standards and that aircraft are ready for operation.

Read and interpret maintenance manuals, service bulletins, and other

specifications to determine the feasibility and method of repairing or

replacing malfunctioning or damaged components. Maintain repair logs,

documenting all preventive and corrective aircraft maintenance. Modify

aircraft structures, space vehicles, systems, or components, following

drawings, schematics, charts, engineering orders, and technical

publications. Inspect airframes for wear or other defects. Measure parts

for wear, using precision instruments. Obtain fuel and oil samples and

check them for contamination. Maintain, repair, and rebuild aircraft

structures, functional components, and parts, such as wings and

fuselage, rigging, hydraulic units, oxygen systems, fuel systems,

electrical systems, gaskets, or seals. Replace or repair worn,

defective, or damaged components, using hand tools, gauges, and testing

equipment. Test operation of engines and other systems, using test

equipment, such as ignition analyzers, compression checkers, distributor

timers, or ammeters. Read and interpret pilots\' descriptions of

problems to diagnose causes. Measure the tension of control cables.

Spread plastic film over areas to be repaired to prevent damage to

surrounding areas. Remove or install aircraft engines, using hoists or

forklift trucks. Assemble and install electrical, plumbing, mechanical,

hydraulic, and structural components and accessories, using hand or

power tools. Locate and mark dimensions and reference lines on defective

or replacement parts, using templates, scribes, compasses, and steel

rules. Fabricate defective sections or parts, using metal fabricating

machines, saws, brakes, shears, and grinders. Service and maintain

aircraft and related apparatus by performing activities such as flushing

crankcases, cleaning screens, and or moving parts. Clean, refuel, and

change oil in line service aircraft. Trim and shape replacement body

sections to specified sizes and fits and secure sections in place, using

adhesives, hand tools, and power tools. Accompany aircraft on flights to

make in-flight adjustments and corrections. Remove or cut out defective

parts or drill holes to gain access to internal defects or damage, using

drills and punches. Install and align repaired or replacement parts for

subsequent riveting or welding, using clamps and wrenches. Inventory and

requisition or order supplies, parts, materials, and equipment. Prepare

and paint aircraft surfaces. Remove, inspect, repair, and install

in-flight refueling stores and external fuel tanks. Determine repair

limits for engine hot section parts. Clean engines, sediment bulk and

screens, and carburetors, adjusting carburetor float levels. Listen to

operating engines to detect and diagnose malfunctions, such as sticking

or burned valves. Cure bonded structures, using portable or stationary

curing equipment. Disassemble engines and inspect parts, such as turbine

blades or cylinders, for corrosion, wear, warping, cracks, and leaks,

using precision measuring instruments, x-rays, and magnetic inspection

equipment. Check for corrosion, distortion, and invisible cracks in the

fuselage, wings, and tail, using x-ray and magnetic inspection

equipment. Examine engines through specially designed openings while

working from ladders or scaffolds, or use hoists or lifts to remove the

entire engine from an aircraft. Communicate with other workers to

coordinate fitting and alignment of heavy parts, or to facilitate

processing of repair parts. Clean, strip, prime, and sand structural

surfaces and materials to prepare them for bo ding. Reassemble engines

following repair or inspection and reinstall engines in aircraft.
