Aircraft Pneumatics Mechanic
What is an Aircraft Pneumatics Mechanic?
Aircraft Pneumatics Mechanics are responsible for maintaining and repairing the pneumatic systems on aircraft. Pneumatic systems use compressed air to power various components on the aircraft, such as the brakes, landing gear, and flight controls. Aircraft Pneumatics Mechanics must be able to troubleshoot problems with these systems and make repairs to ensure that the aircraft is safe to fly.
How to Become an Aircraft Pneumatics Mechanic
There are two main ways to become an Aircraft Pneumatics Mechanic: through an apprenticeship program or by completing a formal education program at a technical school or community college. Apprenticeship programs typically take four years to complete and combine on-the-job training with classroom instruction. Formal education programs typically take two years to complete and provide students with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills needed to work as an Aircraft Pneumatics Mechanic.
