Aircraft Mechanics are also known as: Airframe or Power Plant Mechanics and Avionics or Aviation Technicians. As a valued and critical member of an airline’s chain of operations‚ the primary responsibility of this professional is aircraft preventive maintenance that ensures peak operation‚ performance‚ and safety. This is achieved through aircraft servicing‚ repairing‚ overhauling‚ and testing. A Mechanic performs all required maintenance and inspections of aircraft engines‚ landing gear‚ pressurized

major weather hazards that cause a number of aircraft accidents. It is a hazard that can snowball out of control and cause problems such as reduce aircraft efficiency by increasing weight‚ reduce lift‚ decrease thrust and increase drag. These effects can cause the aircraft to increase stalling speed or cause the aircraft to force downward in flight. Over the years‚ aircraft engines and airframes have changed dramatically. Modern day aircraft are aerodynamically less accepting of airfoil

OUTSOURCE FOR AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE Good afternoon‚ in today’s agenda‚ I would like to bring your attention to the benefits of internal and external aircraft maintenance. As studies have shown that the cost benefits are marginal to maintain the aircrafts internally‚ the company is looking into contracting this process to external vendors. I believe most of you are wondering why we are planning on such move‚ let us look at the possible factors between internal and outsource of our aircraft maintenance

1 Contemporary Methods of Aircraft Construction and Design The construction of aircraft is a complicated process requiring precise calculation and innovative design in order to improve and maintain the structural integrity of the aircraft. Aerospace engineers must find a balance between reliability‚ strength and weight of the many components used in the fabrication of the aircraft. The design of an aircraft must take into account the magnitude of forces‚ such as lift and drag‚ acting upon the

CHAPTER 4 AIRCRAFT BASIC CONSTRUCTION INTRODUCTION Naval aircraft are built to meet certain specified requirements. These requirements must be selected so they can be built into one aircraft. It is not possible for one aircraft to possess all characteristics; just as it isn’t possible for an aircraft to have the comfort of a passenger transport and the maneuverability of a fighter. The type and class of the aircraft determine how strong it must be built. A Navy fighter must be fast‚ maneuverable
