job description

As more advanced aircraft continue to fill our skies, the need for expert Aviation Mechanics will rise. Everything with wings—from a 737, to a corporate helicopter, to an unpiloted research drone—requires constant maintenance. You’ll work under pressure on sophisticated machinery, making sure anything that takes off also lands safely. Specialized training can lead to a career as an airframe mechanic, powerplant technician, instrument repairman, or avionics technician. Also, you could work weekends, nights and holidays. It’s a lot of responsibility, but millions of people will have you to thank when they arrive safely wherever they choose to travel.
