Aircraft Mechanics II must have a combination of experience to repair Fuel systems, engines, sheet metal, and structural, hydraulic, electrical, power train and general mechanical maintenance of moderate difficulty, required to meet the assigned missions. This role involves maintaining, repairing, and modifying aircraft structures and components such as flight controls, engines, hydraulics, pneumatics, fuel systems, and other mechanical parts. The mechanic applies technical knowledge of airframe and power plant systems to diagnose malfunctions and restore equipment. They use comprehensive technical expertise to solve moderate to complex problems by interpreting technical documentation like blueprints and manufacturer's manuals. The position requires a thorough knowledge of aircraft mechanical component troubleshooting, repair procedures, replacement of parts, and broad knowledge of aircraft sheet metal/structural modifications and repair. Basic electrical theory knowledge is also necessary, along with thorough knowledge of aircraft unique tools. The incumbent works with technical publications, receives technical guidance from supervisors or higher-level technicians, and may occasionally lead teams on complex aircraft tasks. They may also be required to make entries in aircraft logs and records, prioritize workloads, and inspect the work of Mechanic IIs and Is. Additionally, they provide input to Maintenance Engineering Changes (MEC), Estimated Cost of Damage preparation (ECOD), and assist in recommending changes to Maintenance Work Orders (MWO). Specialization in areas like sheet metal, electric work, avionics, or other aircraft systems may be required, as well as the use of HVLP spray guns and corrosion control tooling. Work can be performed both on and off aircraft.
