About The Position

The LUH72 Aircraft Mechanic II performs the full range of military tactical aircraft maintenance and maintains, repairs, and modifies aircraft structures and structural components of moderate difficulty. This role involves maintaining and repairing aircraft components including flight controls, engines, hydraulics, pneumatics, fuel systems, and mechanical components. The mechanic applies technical knowledge of airframe and power plant systems to diagnose equipment malfunctions and restore equipment to operational status. They also apply comprehensive technical expertise to solve moderate to complex problems by interpreting technical documentation such as blueprints and manufacturer's manuals, and require a working knowledge of technical publications. The incumbent receives technical guidance from supervisors or higher-level technicians, may occasionally lead teams through complex aircraft tasks, and may be required to make entries in aircraft logs and records. Prioritization of workload to meet schedules on assigned projects is essential. This role includes removing and installing aircraft subsystem assemblies and components, servicing and lubricating aircraft and subsystems, preparing aircraft for inspections and maintenance checks, performing scheduled and assisting with special inspections, and performing limited maintenance operational checks. Troubleshooting and diagnosing aircraft systems using special tools and test equipment is also a key function. The mechanic uses and performs operator maintenance on tools, special tools, and aircraft ground support equipment, and applies comprehensive technical expertise to solve moderate problems by interpreting technical documentation. A thorough knowledge of aircraft mechanical component troubleshooting, repair procedures, and parts replacement is necessary, along with knowledge of electrical theory and aircraft-specific tools. Participation in maintenance test flights and operation checks is required. A working knowledge of technical publications and the Government STAMIS for making entries in aircraft logs and records is also needed. The role involves inspecting all required aeronautical type maintenance performed by Aircraft Mechanic I. Specific duties may include operating the Flexible Engine Diagnostic System (FEDS), obtaining a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Powerplant License (or equivalent experience), obtaining a DoD EPA Refrigerant Processing Certificate, potentially serving as a Foreign Object Elimination/Foreign Object Debris (FOE/FOD) Program Administrator, performing non-crew member duties, and operating cranes if qualified and assigned. Aircraft condition evaluations (ACE) inspection duties may also be performed. Use of Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) may be required.
