I am knowledgeable and proficient with all of the aircraft’s systems, performance, and operation. I am also responsible for the accurate computations of aircraft and engine performance data in all configurations and atmospheric conditions. I am expected to quickly and accurately troubleshoot aircraft malfunctions during flight in non-emergency and emergency situations and perform appropriate corrective actions. On the ground and in-flight, I monitor the engine's and aircraft’s system performance. I assist both pilots in monitoring takeoff, approach, landing, communications, and air traffic procedures in order to operate the aircraft effectively and safely. I also assist the other crew members in when needed. Show less

My main responsibility as an aircraft engine mechanic was to inspect, perform scheduled maintenance, troubleshoot and repair aircraft engine malfunctions either in a back shop on a stand or on the flight line at the aircraft. I would tear down and rebuild aircraft engines and their core components. This entailed tearing down and rebuilding the stators and rotors of the engine's compressor and turbine sections, replacing turbine sections, replacing and balancing of the compressor blades. I would… Show more My main responsibility as an aircraft engine mechanic was to inspect, perform scheduled maintenance, troubleshoot and repair aircraft engine malfunctions either in a back shop on a stand or on the flight line at the aircraft. I would tear down and rebuild aircraft engines and their core components. This entailed tearing down and rebuilding the stators and rotors of the engine's compressor and turbine sections, replacing turbine sections, replacing and balancing of the compressor blades. I would also inspect and rebuild or replace other major components as needed like bleed air ducting, fuel control components, accessory gearboxes, ignition components, variable pitch propellers and reduction gearboxes. I would install and remove aircraft engines. I assisted in performing engine test and performance runs. These runs could be accomplished on either an engine test cell or while installed in aircraft.
