THE WORK
Learn by Doing in a Real World Aviation Shop

Component Disassembly & Reassembly : Perform step by step teardown and rebuild of landing‑gear assemblies, wheels, hydraulic pumps, brakes, actuators, engine mounts, and valves.
Test Equipment Operation : Operate high‑pressure hydraulic stands, actuator test rigs, and precision measurement tools; learn to interpret test data and verify compliance with engineering drawings.
Quality & Documentation : Conduct visual and dimensional inspections, record findings in the shop’s tracking system, and practice airworthiness directive compliance.
Return to Service Process : Observe and assist with the final release of repaired parts, ensuring they meet all certification criteria before returning to flight lines.
Continuous Improvement Projects : Participate in short‑term projects aimed at reducing re‑work, improving workflow, or enhancing tool utilization.
The apprenticeship requires a commitment of 20 – 40 hours per week over an approximate 12 week period in the late spring through summer timeframe.
