@EpicAviationEpicFlightAcademy2 ай бұрын
Great question! Automotive and aircraft technicians are alike in many ways. Both require a solid understanding of mechanical systems, especially engines, hydraulics, and electrical components. Technicians in both fields are often skilled in using diagnostic tools and equipment to identify and repair issues. Accurate troubleshooting and critical thinking are essential in restoring functionality. Automotive and aircraft technicians both follow detailed procedures to ensure repairs meet standards. Also, safety is a critical concern for both, however it is especially important for aircraft technicians. However, it should be noted that there are significant differences between the two fields as well. Aircraft systems are generally more complex and larger in scale than automotive systems. Aircraft technicians work with more intricate components and need a deep understanding of aerodynamics, avionics, and aviation-specific systems. They are also subject to much stricter regulations, with rigorous standards set by aviation authorities like the FAA. Their work is usually more heavily documented and scrutinized. Perhaps the most significant difference is the potential consequences of errors: mistakes in aircraft maintenance can have catastrophic outcomes, including loss of life. As a result, aircraft technicians must adhere to higher standards of professionalism, precision, and accountability compared to automotive technicians, where the consequences of errors, though serious, are typically less severe.

So like when I graduate, will employers even care if I have a higher “GPA” or O&P test scores?

In an school of aeronautics 500 students failed one one more test twice. The cost to be retested it is $175. Do the math. $175 x 500 students failed one test = $87,500 profit for PSI.
