2016 - Operation Freedom's Sentinel. Installs, adjusts, aligns, troubleshoots, repairs, overhauls, modifies and performs final functional and operational tests on a variety of major aircraft systems, their assemblies, and components such as airframe, landing gear, power plant, gear boxes, pumps, and hydraulic, pressurization, utility, fuel, oil, pneumatic, and flight control system that require substantive knowledge of the airframe and aircraft mechanical, pneudraulic, and electrical systems and their interrelationships. Typical work assignments include installing, aligning, and functionally testing the various major and minor mechanical and pneudraulic systems on an aircraft during overhaul or modification. Performs flightline maintenance of assigned and transient operational aircraft, including functional testing, troubleshooting, and repairing all airframe mechanical systems, or post assembly checkout, adjustment, and repair of overhauled and modified aircraft to prepare for and correct deficiencies found on functional check flights. I have knowledge of the makeup, operation, installation, and adjustment of a variety of major interrelated and integrated aircraft systems, subsystems, and assemblies such as fuel and hydraulic systems, flight control systems, instrumentation systems, engine(s), landing gear assemblies, airframe, and control surfaces. Because of the complicated ways in which these major assemblies, systems, and surfaces are installed, fit, and work together, I also have the ability to rig, function test, and troubleshoot the systems; determine when they are operating properly or whether portions of the system must be repaired or replaced; and the type and extent of adjustment and alignment needed. I am authorized to sign off on work performed by others, clear safety of flight conditions, and release the aircraft to service. All F110-GE-100 Engine Run power levels qualified. 2016 - Operation Freedom's Sentinel
