Aviation Programs
If you are thinking of retraining for a new career, why not consider the benefits of following a college training program to become an Aircraft Powerplant Technician? The Bureau of Labor predicts that opportunities should be excellent for Aircraft Technicians (also called Aircraft Powerplant Technologists). There are approximately 200 trade schools offering an educational program certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Your main role as a qualified Aircraft Powerplant Technician would be to inspect aircraft engines and carry out preventive maintenance. Inspections take place at regular intervals based on the number of flight hours the aircraft has traveled, calendar days since the last inspection or a combination of the two. These are strictly controlled and enforced by the FAA. To inspect an engine, you would need to work through specially designed openings while standing on ladders or scaffolds, or use hoists or lifts to remove the entire engine from the craft. After dismantling an engine, you would use precision instruments to measure parts for wear and use x-ray and magnetic inspection equipment to check for invisible cracks. Worn or defective parts are repaired or replaced. An aircraft which is grounded for maintenance is not earning the business any money; you may experience pressure to achieve airworthiness in the shortest possible time. You may find that the time pressure and the obvious need for high standards may lead to very stressful situations.
Professional certification by the FAA is required to work on aircraft engines. However, an equal amount of time spent learning on the job under the close supervision of a qualified Technician can be substituted for the certificate. The FAA requires at least 18 months of work hands-on experience for the equivalent in a Powerplant Technician's Certificate.
