WHY AVIATION?!? Stable Career With Job Security..... In today’s economy, it can be difficult to find a career that is both stable and secure. However, those who choose to become aircraft mechanics can enjoy both of these benefits. Aircraft mechanics are responsible for performing routine maintenance and repairs on airplanes and helicopters. Due to the technical nature of the job, aircraft mechanics must have a strong understanding of both mechanical and electrical systems. They also need to be able to work in small spaces and pay close attention to detail. While the work can be challenging, it is also rewarding. Aircraft mechanics typically work in teams and are able to see the results of their labor every time a plane takes off or lands safely. In addition, they can take pride in knowing that they are helping to keep the skies safe for both passengers and crew members. For those who are looking for a stable career with job security, becoming an aircraft mechanic is a great choice. #ais #advancedinnovativesolutions #nowhiring

Very interesting read addressing the challenges that the local market faces! It accurately highlights some potential solutions that could help alleviate the demand at the moment. People are a resource that's far more fluid and less predictable compared to other components of a business and enacting change or implementing a solution to solve a 'people problem' is a challenging journey that often involves lobbying for changes across government and organizational policies. It is important for all Management Professionals to not only acknowledge the issue, but to also act on it. We are in a talent scarce environment right now, a misstep or a decision to procrastinate would only compound it's effect and impact the industry greater.

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.

FAA Certificated Mechanic Bias Undermines Workforce Development In November, a member sought ARSA’s feedback on a frustrating turn of events. After 25 years of working for a repair station, the repairman-certificate-holding individual “no longer qualified” to sign approvals for return to service; he was told only a certificated mechanic could do so. This turnabout echoes a long-troublesome sentence in the FAA’s guidance regarding repairman certification. Order 8900.1, Vol. 5, Ch. 5, paragraph 5-1193 D.1. admonishes: “In no instance should anyone issue a Repairman Certificate with an airframe and/or powerplant rating to circumvent the process of obtaining a Mechanic Certificate.” Enforcing that language, and the underlying bias toward one kind of airman over another, circumvents both the plain language of the rules and modern career development logic.
