The Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA ) has announced a new training pathway to tackle the nation's shortage of licensed aircraft maintenance engineers (LAMEs). Trainees can now fast-track an aircraft maintenance engineer licence with the introduction of the modular licence pathway. The flexible option gives engineers a licence (with limitations) earlier in the training process than the previous Part 66 licence timeline. Licence limitations are removed as experience is gained or further examinations are successfully completed. Initially, eligible experience must come via Part 147 approved maintenance training organisations (MTOs). The modular licensing structure aims to address the shortage of LAMEs by making it easier for people to qualify for a licence or return to the profession after a long absence. It will also assist foreign licence holders seeking a qualification to work in Australia.

Hello again fellow Linkers.Better late than never.CBTA...Its finally here and to stay.ICAO has recommended that States implement CBTA for ALL Operational Services within the Aviation Industry. I say all now because CBTA was basically for Pilots.Now CBTA will be also required for Engineers, Cabin Crew, ATC, ATC safety electronics staff,Flight ops dispatchers and Staff involved in the handling of DG. I shall discuss only on the Aircraft Maintenance Engineering aspect. CASA PNG has released an Advisory Circular - AC 141-3 and it gives the guidelines for each Aviation Document holder to implement CBTA using the ICAO ADDIE principle within their training department.For Aircraft Maintenance training orgs - Please refer to ICAO Doc 10098 (it's not free.. USD 225) to draw up your CBTA program and IAW the CASA AC 141-3 to qualify your graduates.It is a very good move away from the traditional style of Ab intio training for Aircraft Maintenance Engineers.Instead of flooding the market with Quantity, we will have Quality Graduates who can hit the ground running. Instead of failing trainees they will be provided mentoring and close monitoring until they can prove competency in that weak area.For the already employed Engineers.. Recurrent training will now have to be CBTA based. A plus to all of this is that the NAA can and should reduce the time required for experience gathering to qualify a graduate to attempt his/her licence exams as CBTA is not based on years of experience but competence in each task. A plus for our future LAMEs The end result is an improved Safety culture, reduced incidents, better OTP, better efficient use of resources and less wastage and which leads to an Operator being the best Air Services provider in their Region. To safer skies and beyond. OF. #airworthiness #trainingcourses #aircraftmaintenance #aviationindustry #airniugini #safety

The Art of Silent Communication: Morse Code & Flag Signals at Sea. The STCW (Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers) is a set of standards set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), meant to ensure that seafaring personnel worldwide have the necessary qualifications and certifications to operate ships safely. When it comes to providing training, the STCW Code outlines the minimum training required for each level of personnel onboard a ship. This comprises both technical skills training and soft skills training, such as communication and teamwork. Each training course for seafarers must correspond to a specific goal and standard of competency that the seafarers must achieve. This includes a range of skills, from navigation and vessel operation, to safety protocols and emergency procedures. The STCW emphasizes the importance of continuous learning. Seafarers are required to complete updated training courses and refresher courses, in order for them to keep their qualifications. Importantly, while STCW provides a minimum standard, individual countries or companies may require more extensive training beyond what STCW mandates. I believe in empowering individuals with education, and I know how challenging it can be to find time for it.

📢 Attention, fellow aviation enthusiasts! ✈️ As someone currently immersed in technical training for aviation, I can’t stress enough how vital it is to treat this phase with the utmost seriousness. Training isn’t just a prerequisite—it’s the foundation of our future roles as aircraft technicians. Here are a few key reminders that I’ve found incredibly important: 🕒 Show up on time: Punctuality isn’t just about being present; it’s a reflection of our commitment and reliability. Every minute in training is an opportunity to absorb knowledge and sharpen our skills. 💤 Stay awake and engaged: It’s tempting to zone out or catch a quick nap during those long sessions, but every piece of information shared is crucial. Active participation not only enhances our learning but also shows respect for our instructors and peers. 💪 Give it your all: Whether it’s a practical exercise or a theoretical discussion, putting in your best effort ensures that you’re truly understanding and retaining the material. This isn’t just about passing exams—it’s about becoming the best technician you can be. Remember, the habits we build now will carry over into our careers. Let’s treat our training with the same dedication and professionalism that we would on the job. Our future in aviation depends on it! #AviationTraining #AircraftMaintenance #Professionalism #CommitmentToExcellence

Good Afternoon, Folks. Here's a bit of an update regarding where I stand when it comes to eventually joining the US Coast Guard: After further research and inquiries with regards to my future enlistment in the Coast Guard, I've come to the conclusion that going back to Aviation for a bit (as a potential Aircrewman-Electrical and Electronics Technician - AET) may not be the best option for me due to the extremely stringent requirements as imposed within the flight medical exam. That being said, I've now looked further into becoming an Electronics Technician (ET). The recruiter I'm in contact with has stated that new enlistment bonuses will be up in two months (October 2023, the beginning of Fiscal Year 2024). Currently, EB for the Electronics field is around $60k (after tax deductions), although that may change within the coming months. Even though I may not be primarily after money, this looks like a terrific financial cushion in the months and years to come. Rather, I'm more focused towards re-learning every single aspect of technical maintenance. In turn, maybe I'll supplement it by taking additional courses at a nearby school before I join. Still, I cannot lose sight of my goal to become an officer someday. Upon joining, I'll be willing to spend a few years (two to five years optimally) as an enlisted Coastie before putting in my package for either the Officer Candidate School - Reserves (OCS-R) or Temporary Commissioning program option (OCS-T). To dreams, wherever they lead us to! (I'm not gonna cue "Don't Stop Believin'" by Journey this time, even though it's the subtitle; I think the more appropriate one for this would be "It's Time" by Imagine Dragons) #CoastGuard #USCG #SemperParatus #AlwaysReady #ElectronicsTechnician #CoastGuardOCS #CoastGuardOfficer #MotivationalMonday #MotivationalMondays #ImagineDragons #ItsTime
