Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Associate's Degree)

  • Aircraft component inspections — conduct independently across landing gear, hydraulic systems, and deicers using approved inspection criteria in a commercial or regional airline maintenance environment.
  • Service bulletins and airworthiness directives — interpret and apply to determine feasibility and approved repair sequences with minimal supervisor input in a Part 145 facility.
  • Repair logs and maintenance records — maintain accurately and completely for both preventive and corrective actions, ensuring regulatory compliance in a high-tempo line maintenance operation.
  • Defective or worn components — repair or replace using hand tools, gauges, and testing equipment with routine proficiency following manufacturer tolerances in a scheduled maintenance setting.
  • X-ray and magnetic inspection equipment — operate to detect invisible cracks and internal defects in fuselage, wings, and tail structures during periodic heavy maintenance checks.
  • Routine and special regulatory inspections — execute in accordance with FAA and airline operations specifications, applying critical thinking to resolve minor discrepancies discovered during the process.
  • Hydraulic, pneumatic, and electrical aircraft systems — monitor operational parameters during ground runs and system tests to identify anomalies in a structured maintenance environment.
  • Troubleshooting procedures — apply logical diagnostic sequences to isolate malfunctioning components across familiar aircraft systems using manufacturer fault isolation manuals.
  • Facilities management and maintenance tracking software — use to retrieve work orders, record discrepancies, and update aircraft status in a digitized maintenance operations center.
  • Airframe structural integrity — assess for corrosion, distortion, and fatigue damage using approved non-destructive testing methods during scheduled inspections at an MRO facility.
