Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Long Certificate)

  • Aircraft systems readiness tests — conduct pre- and post-operational checkouts with reduced oversight, following established test protocols in a production test environment.
  • Test parameters and data acquisition plans — identify and document required specifications independently, configuring equipment to conform before initiating test runs.
  • Computer systems and data acquisition devices — operate and calibrate routinely to meet test requirements, applying standard procedures across multiple test campaigns.
  • Test setup malfunctions — diagnose using systematic inspection techniques and instrument readings, determining corrective action within familiar equipment types.
  • Faulty test equipment components — adjust, repair, or replace using hand and power tools, restoring operational status with minimal guidance from senior staff.
  • Test results on parts, assemblies, and mechanisms — interpret recorded data against design specifications and flag out-of-tolerance findings for engineering review.
  • Engineering personnel — confer with to clarify test procedure details and communicate preliminary findings using accurate technical language in routine project meetings.
  • Fabrication and installation of test components — perform using appropriate tooling and test instruments, following engineering drawings with limited supervision.
  • Quality control checklists and inspection criteria — apply consistently during component and system evaluations to ensure compliance with aerospace standards.
  • Project management and scheduling tools — use to track task progress and manage personal time commitments across concurrent test assignments.
