Its funny how when you have done something for so long that you can become complacent. You may feel you been there, done that and you are a master of all you survey. If your in the aviation maintenance field, then let’s examine that assumption. The following is a list from my book to see if you have the basics down. Think you are a “Hot Shot”? Then take my challenge. Here it is:
Take a minute to look at the following lists. On a scale from one to ten, mark next to each item where you think you rate. Marking a one would mean that you feel you have the least knowledge of that skill or display the very least of that particular attribute. A ten would mean that you feel that you have a high level of knowledge in that skill. If you work on multiple aircraft, make a separate list for each. Ready? Begin.
Occupational Basics
Safety / emergency operations (CPR, defibrillators, fire procedures, etc.)
Computer Skills (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.)
Aircraft systems knowledge (electrical, auxiliary power unit/APU, avionics, etc.)
Measurement (calipers, depth gauge, micrometer, etc.)
Use of a multimeter / other tooling
Standard practices (FAA compliance, General Maintenance Manual/GMM, AMM, SRM, etc.)
Basic aircraft servicing
Inspection (Levels of corrosion, etc)
Manual usage
Documentation
Hazardous materials (HAZMAT).
