Make independent and accurate airworthiness judgments in the
process of inspecting and maintaining aircraft structures and
powerplants in accordance with applicable airworthiness
requirements.
Develop and implement a plan for aircraft maintenance action
based on research and understanding of appropriate maintenance
and inspection data.
Troubleshoot aircraft structures, powerplants and their associated
systems with a discerning recognition of the specific malfunction
within the scope of the overall aircraft and associated systems
and accomplish the correct maintenance action that will allow
approval for return to service of the affected items.
Develop and act upon a personal attitude and plan of "Safety
Awareness" and compliance that includes one’s self, ones’ coworkers, the work area, and the aircraft.
Satisfy the FAA required competencies for completing the
required written, oral and practical exams for the Airframe and
Powerplant ratings of the FAA Mechanic certificate.
