BB_Hoody Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 (edited) Welcome to the Aviation Thread where we can discuss all things dealing with Aviation Aerodynamics, and space. I'm a Aircraft mechanic who has been in the industry for 7 years now. I'm no expert but I know enough about the maintenance side of things, job market, a few tricks of the trade, things going on in the industry etc. To share with those who want to learn about Aviation industry. Have an interest in working in it, And chop it up with those who have knowledge and experience. My goal with this thread is to expose more people to all the career opportunities in this industry. What goes into making this industry run, why it's so important to our modern life. And where it started, how it got where we it is today. And where it's going in the future. So if you have any questions about the industry. Such as how are the planes maintained, job opportunities, business side of things, culture, how planes are built etc. Just shoot, and I'll answer best I can.

Volt Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Great thread idea, even better thread title. I hope this one takes off, but I'm not sure if there's a lot of people here that are looking for a career to follow. BB_Hoody 1 Quote Link to comment

The gamergate thread back in the early 2010s had that effect. Brought in a lot of eyes that other wise wouldn't have been here Volt and Reticently 2 Quote Link to comment

BB_Hoody Posted February 19 Author Share Posted February 19 The work here on base has picked up. Due to the Earthquake in Syria and Turkey. Lots of planes going out there to drop off supplies and personal. Talked with some of the people who was there helping. Pretty messed up stuff. Darc_Requiem 1 Quote Link to comment

BB_Hoody Posted February 20 Author Share Posted February 20 This is exactly what goes into doing heavy maintenance. On the major airliner aircrafts we all fly on. Did this specific work for a good 4 to 5 years. Darc_Requiem and VirginDefiler 2 Quote Link to comment

Appreciate that. Just want to make more people aware of what goes on in the Aviation industry. So if one is fearful of flying? They can be relieved at knowing what, who and how these planes are safe enough to where you can feel ok taking that flight. If one is looking for a career to get into? But don't know what? This could be an option they never thought to consider. I definitely didn't until a older dude put me on to it. And to show people how this industry has truly connected the world in a way it has never been before. To be aware of the history, and what's coming in the future.

J-ride Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 If there is a plane crash does it come back on the last guy who did maintenance? Darc_Requiem and BB_Hoody 1 1 Quote Link to comment
BB_Hoody Posted February 23 Author Share Posted February 23 3 hours ago, J-ride said: If there is a plane crash does it come back on the last guy who did maintenance? It depends. The FAA investigators first have to their thing. And figure out what specifically caused the accident. If it's determined to be pilot error? Then nah. If it's determined to be mechanical or electrical? Then they figure out what specifically malfunctioned and why Once that is determined. Then they start making phone calls. Getting info on what shop(s) did the work on that part. And who were the techs that did the work. That's the scary part. You could have retired or only been there for a few months. Did that work months or a year ago. But if the work you signed off on, turned out to be shody and played a part in causing that accident? You will be tracked down, and brought in for investigation. And depending on the severity of the accident, and if you're determined to be negligent in your work? You could face jail time. Darc_Requiem, DangerousJ and J-ride 3 Quote Link to comment
