This blog post will be about working conditions and the pay grade. Most of the working conditions will be indoor. May also be working in places such as warehouses. With heating and cooling conditions. Will be sharing work space with others. Workers are also required to wear protective gear. Ear muffs, eye wear etc.

Some working conditions include communicating with others such as your team. You will also have to communicate over the phone. Workers are obligated to maintain safety standards. Workers are also submitted to be aware of health Harvard towards other employees also passengers on the airplane as well.

The hourly pay range for aviation mechanics is about 21.09$.  Monthly Income would be 3,655$. A year's worth of income would be about 43,876$. Wages for aircraft mechanics vary by specialist. For example mechanics who work on jets for major airlines earn more than other mechanics.

Mechanics work all shifts including a lot of overtime hours. Employees pay mechanics extra for working shifts that are not during regular work times. Mechanics who work full time usually receive benefits. Benefits usually include health insurance, paid vacation, and retirement plan. Airline Mechanics also receive travel discounts for themselves and for their family members.

According to the Washington State Employment Security Department There will be 536 annual openings for aircraft Mechanics and service technicians. And 162 Annual openings for avionics Technicians in Washington between 2015 and 2025.

Most engineers get 1-2 years of on the job training. New engineers work with other whom have more experience in the field of study. Some big companies offer in class training. As you learn you will gain more experience throughout the training but tasks will get harder as you go on in training.  

Blog # 4 News worth article

This is my news worthy post about a current event going on in aviation. And that affects the aviation industry. My news worthy article is from  the Wall Street Journal, 

FAA Pushes for Faster Fixes to Anti collision Systems on 9,000 Planes. By Andy Pasztor

The Federal Aviation Administration Is asking for all airliners and business aircraft to fix all collision warning systems on aircraft. They have asked to make changes to about 9000. Saying. The devices may have a possible malfunction. Causing unnecessary risk.

In 2010 the FAA proposed requiring fixes to the devices within four years.

That initial directive was prompted by reports of problems with the devices on a test flight

Through busy airspace over airports in New York, Chicago and Atlanta, including a single malfunction that lasted some 40 seconds.

 The collision warning system is made to warn pilots of possible collisions. According to the FAA they have cited another equipment malfunction. The agency has not provided details regarding the incident with the malfunction. But due to this incident the FAA has used this incident to push the 3 year law change in equipment. Due to this matter the FAA has rejected request for a longer period of time to make the changes for the equipment needed.

The FAA rule comes amid heightened scrutiny of airborne near-misses across the U.S.

 Since 2010, the National Transportation Safety Board, which investigates aircraft incidents and accidents, has been collecting its own reports of cockpit collision-avoidance warnings.

The safety board has looked at many dozens of such incidents.

An L-3 communication spokeswoman said the company has initially informed the Government Issue back in 2009 on a Wednesday. She said the company airliner willingly notified the FAA and has free software fixes available for customers.  (Pasztor) https://search.proquest.com/usmajordailies/results/FC1E6BCE12AD4D5CPQ/false?accountid=36540

This blog post is going to be about job duties and tasks required. Some related careers are Air plane assembles airplane pilots Automobile Mechanics. Also Military career related Aircraft mechanics, Avionics technicians. Some Job duties and task are read and asses work orders and blue prints to learn what needs to be done. Take apart an engine and locate the problem needed to be fixed. Inspect engine for wear or defects (Summary). 

Some common work activities are get information needed to do the job. Document and record information. Evaluate information against standards. Update and use job related knowledge. Inspect equipment. Structure or materials. Make decisions and solve problems. Communicate with supervisors and peers. Maintain and repair electronic equipment. Use computers.

Work requirements would be to have a medium level of contact with people. Be communicative with others and your team, and co-workers. You are going to be working with peers and people as a team.  

Some work performances: Must be sure that all details of the job are performed and completed accurately. Errors could cause serious harm to the plane and or the passengers. Repeat the same physical and mental task to retain memory. Regularly make decisions that affect coworkers, their employer also the passengers as well. You would work in hanger or other indoor areas. They may work outdoor sometimes in hot and or cold weather. The worker would be exposed to local contaminates. Workers could be possibly injured or slightly burned due to work environment and conditions pending on how the worker is doing their job and if they are paying attention as the worker should (.Aircraft mechanics). 

Some physical working conditions would be often exposed to hazardous materials including machinery and equipment. Wear protective gear. Eye goggles ear muffs and gloves etc. Workers are exposed to vibrations and noise when testing engines on a weekly basis.
