Aircraft maintenance : A career

Aircraft maintenance : A career

Aircraft maintenance is based on two activities:

Basic Maintenance ( in a hangar) :

Maintenance procedures/updates which are assured by inspection and control, tests and regulations, reparations et modifications.
This type of maintenance takes place during certain periods depending on the importance of the work, ranging from 1 day to 1 month and is undertaken by a team of mechanics who already have good previous experience in aviation maintenance .

Active Maintenance :

When an aircraft is active, a mechanic assures, at the start and also at the end of each flight, vital checks on the aircraft. This is active maintenance. These verifications are most of the time very short, such as an inspection (tour of the aircraft), standard checks + possible complements, integrated tests. However this quickly becomes very complicated if a major problem has occured during the latest flight.
The mechanic must in this case repair the aircraft before its next flight.

 PROFESSIONAL CAREERS:

We are approched every year, particulary during exam periods by a number of companies (Constructor, Maintenance Workshops, Interim societys) who are looking for new employees.

Our graduated trainees are therefore able to take advantage of these opportunities in order to enter the world of work while having the following roles :

• Aircraft/Helicopter maintenance (Military or Civil)
• Technical documentation
• Technical support
