An Overview Of Avionic Repairs Technician

By Kimberly Scott


They ensure the security of passengers and other aircraft dwellers. Also, the avionic repairs professionals provide facilities that keep passengers entertained, navigation equipment, radios and autopilots installation and keep the engine in its proper working condition. On an overall, their work mainly rotates around dealing with electronics in the aircraft and system connections by wiring. Avionics is the process by which aircraft devices are corrected and retained in their good shape for proper working.

Electronic devices that are on board are not supposed to be tampered with. Therefore, they make sure that all electronic equipment is in proper working conditions. They do this by ensuring that some of the avionic specialists in the helicopter solve arising problems and put aircraft devices in place. Bench avionics correct the faulty devices that are removed and taken to their shops by an avionic technician.

Bench technicians are specialists in communication radios, navigation, antennas and radar, computers and autopilots. High troubleshooting skills, ability to intricate and to operate on delicate instruments are some of the requirements for avionics technician. Also, firm hands and outstanding vision contribute to good bench technicians. Microscopes or binocular magnifiers are required while working with modern circuit boards since they are composed of so many and small integrated circuits.

There are those avionic experts that work on commercial aircraft and are referred to as system trouble-shooters. They work on the relationships between different components of the system. They help line technicians to deal with difficult problems and provide an appropriate solution. Problem-solving is kept on all the time to avoid aircraft delay because its operations are based on time limits. This is because aircraft are supposed to fly after a short period.

As far as the safety of the passengers is okay, these technicians can work on those items that are time-consuming at night. Activities such as updating aircraft software, repair and changing of black boxes are attended to by avionic technicians as listed in an aircraft log book by the pilots. The duties ought to be carried out effectively to ensure operation is not delayed.

Compared to line technicians, hanger avionics technicians operates on a scheduled plan, and that is why they enjoy a lot of free time. A planner works out a working program based on the aircraft records and manufacturer new information. The period for each task and the crew to perform them are assigned and put on a schedule. Emergencies that arise can cause delays though they are managed on time by the working team.

According to aircraft equipment manufacturer, equipment contains their humidity and temperature conditions in which they operate. This is the reason why rooms in which bench technician work should be hygienic, aerated and ventilated and should contain cooling systems to keep their temperatures cool.

Furniture found in the office, floors, and benches of the bench technicians are made in a way that they can dissolve static electricity. Highly sensitive aircraft equipment is tested by use of screen rooms that prevent electromagnetic interference and are also able to protect the surrounding environment against strong radio transmitters
