  • Aircraft Electrical Worker (This is a federal job)

Aircraft Electrical Worker

AVAIR FRC East
10.2011 - 02.2019
  • I am an Aircraft Electrical Worker on the UH-1 line. I am often lead electrician on the aircraft during the 4 phases the UH-1 progresses through at the FRC East. The 4 phases are: The induction phase, where the aircraft is un-assembled. The maintenance phase, where the aircraft is repaired. The Buildup phase, where the aircraft is put back together, and the testing phase, where the aircraft tested in flight. I follow the aircraft from the initial phase until it is sold. I train new employees on the practices and standards of the FRC. I instruct others of the order in which maintenance should be performed. I teach them the importance of quality, efficiency and safety and attention to detail, which must be incorporated while performing tasks. Knowledge of the Maintenance Instruction Manuals and technical data is vital. I am proficient at utilizing engineering drawings, blueprints, wiring schematics, technical directives, technical bulletins, technical publications, technical engineering instructions, local engineering instructions, air frame changes, and engineering specifications. I am also familiar with requests for engineering instructions.
  • I am proficient on the AH-1F, Cobra. Utilizing the above technical data, specialized test equipment, and hand tools, I perform all electrical maintenance throughout the 4 phases. I perform various tests on indicating systems, such as the pilot/Static system, fuel quantity system, and the radar altimeter system. I perform, adjust, and log readings for the compass/heading system. I was the lead electrician on the RE-MAN program, and worked closely with QA, E&E, and the local Bell representative to restore electrical components on the aircraft. Per example: The electrical components from the re-man aircraft were to be returned directly to Bell. I refurbished these electrical components, had them inspected by E&E and the Bell representative then shipped back to Bell.
  • The UH-1 line also housed the MQ-8B, Fire scout. I was the lead electrician on the MQ-8B. I performed numerous Air Frame Changes utilizing technical orders and directives, technical publications, engineering drawings, blueprints, integrated electronic technical manuals, local engineering instructions(LEIs), temporary engineering instructions(TEIs) , air frame bulletins and special computer programs such as the ECLYPSE. Some of the Air Frame Changes include the AFC 25 (corrosion), AFC 25 (harpoon removal) AFC 22 (proper cable alignment) AFC 1 (De-ice relocation) AFC 12, Part 1, revision A (weapons upgrade mod) and revision B (UCARS modification), AFC 39 (Radar installation). To perform these changes, I used various hand tools such as, pneumatic tools, impact wrench’s, wire cutters, pin crimpers, pin insertion/Extraction tools, wire strippers, wrenches and sockets, Phillips screwdrivers, flat tip screwdrivers, multimeters, Millie- ohm meters, pliers, vice grips, cannon plug pliers, Safety wire pliers, solder and soldering iron. I have trained numerous aircraft electricians on how to read, interpret, and follow technical directives to incorporate the air frame changes on the MQ- 8B. I worked closely with MQ-8B engineers to assist in developing and modifying technical guides during verification and validations. Per example: FRC East was the first depot to perform the radar modification. The technical engineer instructions were vague and left a lot of room for artisan error. I assisted the FST in the developmental process of a detailed, yet efficient set of instructions. During the process of developing these instructions, FRC South West sent an employee to be trained, under my instruction, to aid in future installations of the radar upgrade.
  • Using the technical directives as above, I worked closely with the Marine to Air Force conversion team of engineers on a daily basis throughout the conversion process. I was instrumental in the perfection of the drawings, schematics, technical directives, and local engineering instructions for the first, second and third Marine UH-1 to Air Force UH-1 Conversion. I was the lead electrician on this AFC and helped to develop changes on electrical systems, instrument and integrated systems, and communicated contradictions between technical guides and test programs. I removed outdated wiring systems such as the APR-39, AAR-47, ALQ-144, and countermeasures, Chaff and Flare. I also installed new wiring, relays, switches, lighting, indicators and components for the VOR/ILS, Video recorder, Bearing indicators, and video displays. I assisted engineers in modifying future conversion wiring kits to help future modifications to be more efficient.
  • I am always safety conscious, and help my co-workers and management identify safety hazards. I believe the core values; commitment, honesty, innovation, courage and passion, enhance our ability to take care of our Customers, our People, and our Business. I clean as I go and always police up my work area and check for Foreign Object Damage.
