Location:

JRB New Orleans 159th Fighter Wing, ANG CRF

TASK

DESCRIPTION:

Aircraft Mechanic II (23022):

Aircraft Mechanics II must have a combination of experience to repair engines, sheet metal, and structural, hydraulic, electrical, power train and general mechanical maintenance of moderate difficulty, required to meet the assigned missions. Additionally provides input to Maintenance Engineering Changes (MEC), Estimated Cost of Damage preparation (ECOD) and assist in the recommendation of changes to (MWO). Individuals must be able to prioritize workloads and are required to lead teams through more complex aircraft relevant tasks.

Mechanic IIs can inspect Mechanic IIs and Is. This mechanic maintains repairs and modifies aircraft structures and structural components of moderate difficulty, maintains and repairs aircraft components including but not limited to flight controls, engines, hydraulics, pneumatics, fuel systems, and mechanical components, applies technical knowledge of airframe and power plant systems in determining equipment malfunctions and applies required expertise in restoring equipment condition and or operation, and applies comprehensive technical expertise to solve moderate to complex problems by interpreting technical documentation such as blueprints or manufactures' manuals.

Must have a thorough knowledge of aircraft mechanical component troubleshooting, repair procedures and replacement of parts, requires broad knowledge of aircraft sheet metal/structural modifications and repair, must have basic knowledge of electrical theory, must have thorough knowledge of aircraft unique tools such as test equipment, torque wrenches, dial indicators, micrometers, sheet metal brakes and sheers. This job requires working knowledge of technical publications.

The incumbent receives technical guidance, as required, from supervisor or higher-level technician, will occasionally be required to lead teams through more complex aircraft relevant tasks, and may be required to make entries in aircraft logs and records. Must be able to prioritize workload to maintain schedules on assigned projects. May require specialization in sheet-metal, electric work, avionics or other aircraft systems related disciplines.

Additional Qualifications:

To include the Basic

A.23 description, the Aircraft Mechanic II (Machinist/Welder) must have working knowledge of aircraft machining/welding repair with a minimum of two (2) years of experience. Skill level 5 as an aircraft machinist/welder or equivalent is required. Machinist/Welder produces replacement and new parts and tools in making repairs of jet engines and associated mechanical equipment. Designs, welds, heat treats, repairs, fabricates, and machines precision tools, components, and assemblies for aerospace weapon systems and related support equipment (SE).

Advises on metals machining, welding, designing, and production problems. Designs, manufactures, or modifies special precision tools, gauges, dies, and fixtures to facilitate metal working operations. Interprets blueprints and shop drawings. Performs metals technology shop calculations such as determining cutting speeds and settings, material requirements, welding processes, and pre-heat and post-heat treatment requirements. Welds, brazes, solders, and heat treats metals. Uses manual and computer numerical controlled (CNC) metal working machines such as mills, lathes, hydraulic presses, drill presses, and saws to manufacture and repair parts;

and special tools for aircraft and engine components and support equipment (SE). Utilizes equipment accessories such as boring heads, indexing heads, rotary tables, tool post grinders and taper attachments. May write programs for CNC machines using manual data input (MDI) and Computer Aided Design-Computer Aided Manufacturing (CADCAM) methods. Checks completed components and determines serviceability in accordance with drawings and specifications.

Disassembles, assembles, and fits component parts using machine screws, bolts, press fits, and welding techniques. Uses metal working equipment, tools, and supplies to produce surface finishing specifications for components. Extracts broken or damaged hardware. Checks components for wear tolerances using measuring devices. Inspects and maintains hand tools and metal working machinery. Performs operator maintenance and service inspections on shop equipment and tools.

Interprets technical publications, blueprints, and drawings to resolve problems related to aircraft systems and support equipment. Must possess knowledge of: metal repair and fabrication processes; composition of metals and machinable materials; weld specifications; metal heat treatment; blueprints and drawings; use of precision measuring devices and tools; fabrication using oxyacetylene, metallic arc, and inert gas shielded arc; operation and capacity of metal working and welding equipment;
