Technicians
Aircraft Maintenance Technicians are the heart and soul of the industry. Globally, technicians are highly skilled and experienced, have passion for their work, and truly understand its significance.
In this solution bundle, SkyThread is working to engage the academies that provide the training, the regulators who authorize the certifications, and the MRO repair stations and airlines that engage the technicians. SkyThread is working to capture the digital certifications being issued today to follow the technician into plane and part airworthiness processes to complete the documentation that “the right technician worked with the right part on the right plane and the right place”. The technician certification includes an element of “self-improvement” which we can capture to track the skill and experience level of this elite group.
More About Technicians
Civil Aviation technician certification around the world is coordinated by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and are represented in large regions and by country - here are some examples:
· United States - Federal Aviation Administration
· Brazil - National Civil Aviation Agency of Brazil
· Canada - Transport Canada Civil Aviation Directorate
· China - Civil Aviation Administration of China
· France - Directorate General for Civil Aviation
· Japan - Japan Civil Aviation Bureau
· India - Directorate General of Civil Aviation
· UAE - General Civil Aviation Authority
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) is the organization that regulates all aviation activity within Europe, and it delegates authority for implementation of its regulations to National Aviation Authorities such as the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA.) In the EASA scheme, certification happens at two levels - A Ramp or Line Maintenance Certifying Mechanic is qualified to work on operational aircraft performing relatively minor maintenance tasks and replacement of parts that are required between major service overhauls and to subsequently certify these tasks. This work is generally done while the aircraft is in service, during turnarounds, or overnight. A Base Maintenance Certifying Technician is qualified to work on aircraft that require more complex maintenance tasks or have been withdrawn from service for routine periodic servicing or major overhauls and upgrades and who can subsequently certify their own and other work.
