17.2.1 Avionics Occupations. Avionics technicians work on electronic equipment and aircraft systems that require specialized technical skills. Technicians may or may not hold an FAA Mechanic Certificate or Repairman Certificate.
17.2.1.1 An individual who holds an FAA Mechanic Certificate or Repairman Certificate with an Airframe rating is authorized under the rating to maintain avionics equipment; however, this privilege is allowed only if that individual is properly trained, qualified, and has the proper tools and equipment to perform the work.
17.2.1.2 There are also noncertificated individuals working for air carrier avionics departments or FAA-certificated avionics repair stations. These individuals have gained experience in avionics repairs from serving in the military and working for avionics manufacturers, non-FAA-recognized certification entities, and other related industries.
17.2.2 Composite Maintenance. The maintenance and repair of composites is complex and requires knowledge and skills to assure the continued airworthiness of these products.
Practical experience is also vital for proper processing and repair of composite structures.
For more information on the type of training for qualification and certification of composite technicians, refer to AC 65-33 at https://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/adv isory_circulars/index.cfm/go/document.information/documentID/1031508.
17.2.3 Nondestructive Inspection (NDI). NDI is a method of inspection of aircraft, engines, propellers, accessories, and other aviation components that entails more than a visual inspection using specialized equipment. Common types of NDI methods include radiographic, magnetic particle, ultrasonic, liquid penetrant, eddy current, and thermography/infrared. Due to the hazards, liabilities, and complexity involved in using such things as x-ray equipment, ultrasonic equipment, and corrosive chemicals, training for these activities is usually specialized. The FAA has developed training guidance in AC 65-31 for repairman training, qualification, and certification of NDI personnel. For further information pertaining to this training, refer to AC 65-31 at https://www.faa.gov/r egulations_policies/advisory_circulars/index.cfm/go/document.information/documentID/ 1023552.
18 EMPLOYMENT FOR AVIATION MECHANICS. Industries with the highest levels of employment for aviation mechanics are:
• Support activities for air transportation (repair stations),
• Scheduled air transportation (air carriers),
• Aerospace product and parts manufacturing, and
• Nonscheduled air transportation (corporate and charter airlines).
18.1 Employment for Avionics Technicians. Industries with the highest levels of employment for avionics technicians are:
• Aerospace product and parts manufacturing,
• Support activities for air transportation (repair stations),
• Scheduled air transportation (air carrier),
• Federal executive branch (FAA, National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), etc.), and
• Electronic and precision equipment repair and maintenance.
Note: For current and further statistical information relating to these occupations, refer to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ (BLS) Aircraft and Avionics Equipment Mechanics and Technicians web page at https://www.bls.gov/ooh/inst allation-maintenance-and-repair/aircraft-and-avionics-equipment-mechanics-andtechnicians.htm.
19 WORKING CONDITIONS. The majority of mechanics and avionics technicians work in hangars, on flight lines, or in repair stations on or near large airports. They use hand and power tools to conduct maintenance. They also may use traditional hand instruments as well as computer test equipment to conduct troubleshooting. The noise level, both indoors and on the flight line, can be very high. Mechanics and technicians performing flight line maintenance often work in all kinds of weather and temperatures.
19.1 Physical Activity. Aircraft mechanics and technicians will perform moderate to heavy physical activity, from climbing ladders to crawling under wings. Physical demands can be arduous, and frequent lifts or pulls of up to 50 pounds are routine.
19.2 Stress. When working for a scheduled airline, the pressure to meet a gate time or deadline for a corporate aircraft can be high. However, a mechanic or technician must never sacrifice the high standards of workmanship and public trust to meet a schedule.
20 BENEFITS. The aviation maintenance industry is broken down into two areas: Air Carriers and General Aviation.
20.1 Air Carriers.
20.1.1 Air carrier maintenance may be performed subject to any day and time. New mechanics and technicians may be required to work nights and weekends. For current information relating to salary ranges by occupations, location, and industry, refer to the BLS Occupational Employment and Wages web page at https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes4 93011.htm.
20.1.2 Some benefits that air carriers have traditionally offered include paid holidays, vacations, insurance plans, retirement programs, sick leave, and free or reduced-cost air travel within the airline’s route structure. These benefits vary dependent on the air carrier.
There may also be opportunities to bid for maintenance positions at other locations the airline serves. With a larger work force, the opportunities for advancement may be greater with an air carrier than with other segments of the aviation maintenance industry.
20.2 General Aviation.
20.2.1 General Aviation is composed of many different types of organizations. These organizations are involved in various aviation activities from corporate transportation to agricultural application. Many aviation mechanics and technicians work for small FBOs or part 145 repair stations that service and maintain a private/corporate aircraft fleet. For current information relating to salary ranges by occupations, location, and industry, refer to the BLS Occupational Employment and Wages web page at https://www.bls.gov/oes/c urrent/oes493011.htm.
20.2.2 Traditionally, General Aviation operates during business hours on weekdays. However, working nights, overtime, or weekends is not uncommon in this industry.
20.2.3 General Aviation benefit packages may vary greatly depending on the organization that one works for. Many General Aviation corporation operations rival the compensation packages of large air carriers while other General Aviation maintenance operations offer less competitive benefits.
20.2.4 Some individuals are drawn to General Aviation despite less competitive benefits because most of the General Aviation jobs are found at the local airport or in smaller cities where the cost of living may be less than working at the large hub airports.
20.3 Conclusion. FAA-issued Mechanic Certificate or Repairman Certificate requirements are regulated by the FAA to ensure the continuation of the safest aviation system in the world. These certificates offer highly technical job opportunities that do not require a college degree for those individuals that prefer to diagnose and fix aircraft in the technical field of aviation maintenance.
