The aircraft c check is considered part of the "heavy maintenance" portion of aviation maintenance. The C Check happens between 18 months to two years (depending on the aircraft). This is likely performed in a special facility, taking 1-2 weeks. During a C. Check, an aviation maintenance technician performs an extensive check of individual systems and components for serviceability and function. Here are some examples of C Check items, per Aviation Pros: Visually check flight compartment escape ropes for condition and security Check operation of DC bus tie control unit Visually check the condition of entry door seals Operationally check flap asymmetry system Pressure decay check APU fuel line shroud Inspect engine inlet TAI ducting for cracks Inspect stabilizer attach bolts Inspect floor beams Detailed inspection of wing box structure

Joby Aviation are feeling pretty good after receiving the all-important Part 145 Repair Station Certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) this week, reports a press release. The company believes they are “the first eVTOL developer” to receive this particular certification from the FAA. This allows the company to perform select maintenance activities including maintenance repair operations (MRO) and overhaul on its eVTOL aircraft fleet, marking another key step on the path to commercialising Joby’s electric air taxi service. Bonny Simi, Joby President of Operations, remarked, “This approval marks another foundational piece of Joby’s vertically-integrated strategy, including aircraft development, manufacturing, charging systems, commercial flight operations, and now MRO services, as we prepare to bring our revolutionary eVTOL aircraft to market.” She continued, “Receiving the Part 145 certificate from the FAA is an important step towards developing the needed maintenance, repair and overhaul services to support Joby’s commercial flight operations, as well as establishing career pipelines for people who want to become eVTOL aircraft technicians.” Under this particular certificate, Joby is to begin performing select airframe, radio and instrument repairs on traditional aircraft, with plans to expand its MRO services in the coming months and years. The certificate also allows Joby to provide paid on-the-job training to aspiring aircraft technicians. Back in 2022, Joby partnered with Aviation High School in Queens, New York, to develop local talent and integrate course materials on electric propulsion systems for students, preparing graduates for career opportunities in the next generation of quiet, emissions-free flight. #avfoilnews #evtol #vtol #sustainability #sustainableaviation

The problem of not having enough airframe and powerplant technicians is not because of all of them retiring it is more that able technicians are getting out of the business because other sectors in business are paying more than companies want to pay their aircraft technicians. The technicians no longer want to have the stress and liability on their head when companies are only offering peanuts for compensation. This problem is not going to go away anytime soon until companies realize if you want a good quality technician you are going to have to pay for that. Good quality technician.

This week we carried out some repairs at an Airside Hanger at one of Scotlands Airports Watching aircraft engineers at work is indeed a fascinating experience. Their meticulous attention to detail, precision, and unwavering sense of responsibility are truly commendable. Every nut, bolt, and wire is scrutinized with care, knowing that the safety of countless passengers relies on their expertise. Their approach raises an intriguing question: What if we all adopted such a mindset in other industries, particularly in #fireandsecurity? Imagine a world where every fire alarm system is installed with the same level of precision as an aircraft's control panel. The implications are profound. Precision in fire and security systems could mean the difference between life and death in critical situations. Just as an aircraft engineer meticulously checks and double-checks every component, ensuring it functions flawlessly, so too should fire and security professionals scrutinize every aspect of their systems. Responsibility is another key aspect. Aircraft engineers understand the weight of their responsibility; they know that even the smallest oversight could have catastrophic consequences. Similarly, those tasked with ensuring fire safety and security must recognize the gravity of their role. Each decision they make, every system they install or maintain, directly impacts the safety and well-being of individuals and communities. By embracing the precision and responsibility exemplified by aircraft engineers, the fire and security industries could reach new heights of effectiveness and reliability. It requires a cultural shift, a commitment to excellence, and a recognition of the importance of their work. The work of aircraft engineers serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of precision and responsibility in all industries, particularly in those tasked with ensuring the safety and security of others. By taking inspiration from their approach, we can strive for excellence and elevate standards across the board, ultimately creating safer environments for everyone. #firealarm #security #maintenance
