PAYING ATTENTION TO DETAIL The date is 29.12.23 and it's a fairly busy day for line maintenance Engineers on the Ramp. Characterised by a number of flights with a mixed fleet of aircraft that require different attention and servicing, the engineers are present as usual to offer technical support and expertise. On this particular day, something happened that taught me a lesson in my professional life that has changed my attitude towards my work. An aircraft landed and as per requirement, I carried out a walk-around which is part of the 'Transit checklist'. what I can't recall is wether I was absent minded or I was not attentive to detail. I quickly rushed to the cockpit to meet the captain, who confirmed that the aircraft had no issues and he was happy. Upon coming out, I met my supervisor in my shift who had just carried a walk around and he noticed something. He asked me if I had carried out a walk around and had observed anything abnormal. I confirmed that everything was fine and all that was needed was to sign the Technical log book. With emphasis he repeated the question, "are you sure everything is okay?". I responded affirmatively that all was well. He told me to do the walk around again and this time with attention. I noticed that the thrust reverser was still unusually and abnormally open and I went back to him and reported what I had seen which he had already seen. We quickly worked on it and the aircraft had another flight a few minutes later. This to me was a negative experience as a junior engineer but I learnt something from it which help me become better. From the above experience, here is what I learnt about paying attention to detail in my duties: Having a good attention to detail as an engineer is crucial because it allows you to catch and address potential errors or issues before they become bigger problems. It helps ensure accuracy and precision in your work, leading to better quality and reliability in the engineering projects you undertake. Paying close attention to details can also help you identify potential improvements, optimize designs, and enhance overall efficiency. It's a valuable skill that can make a significant difference in your engineering career! As we end the year and reflect on all the successful projects we have done, we can equally learn something from our failures and make improvements. May we become the best we can be in 2024. #AircraftMaintenanceEngineering

Open Question to the average Joe burner mechanic: If you could describe the three most pivotal inputs to your development as a technician, what would they be? Mine: 1. The always present fear of God that failure is not an option. 2. Apprenticed by some of this trade’s best technicians. 3. The constant pushing into the unknown in order to keep the challenge high and burn-out far off.

In aviation maintenance, the history of accidents and incidents is key to understanding why we have to do certain things like ”Part.145.A.48” (aka; don't leave anything lying around in the aircraft rule). The regulations are a stark reminder of spilled lives throughout history and an aid to avoid repeating those often ”simple” but deadly mistakes. When the technician works on a critical task like flight controls, fuel systems, or likewise, it's important not to disturb her/him. No matter what the distraction may be, even the smallest distraction of a phone call can divert attention from a final locking device, a lapse in a maintenance instruction, or a false sensation of having done the work correctly. It's not easy to know when anyone is in a critical task, but pay attention if the engineer asks you to wait. It's not out of ignorance, but yes, your urgent matter has to wait until our engineers are ready to move on after all the rigorous routines. We are not grumpy, we are just humans trying to do the inhuman, to work with zero mistakes in an ever-changing environment with challenging tasks, stress, and sometimes extreme commercial pressure on our shoulders. Send a thought of gratitude to the hard-working technicians, mechanics, sheet metal specialists, engineers, and administrators next time you're on a flight, there is pride, dedication, and commitment behind every part and piece of material that is certified, controlled, and installed by a highly skilled individual, with your safety in mind at all times. It's rocket science, every week, every month!

Piston + Piston rod replacement and main engine maintenance. 🚢⚙️ As a Third Engineer Officer, I have witnessed firsthand how vital effective and regular maintenance of marine engines is. I want to share some thoughts on this essential aspect of the maritime world. 🔍 **Prevention is Better Than Cure:** Preventive maintenance is not just a procedure, it's an investment in safety and efficiency. A well-maintained marine engine significantly reduces the risk of unexpected failures, ensuring smoother and safer navigation. 🌱 **Sustainability and Efficiency:** Proper maintenance is not only about reliability, but also about sustainability. More efficient engines mean lower fuel consumption and reduced environmental impact. 🤝 **Onboard Collaboration:** Engine maintenance is a team effort. Collaboration between marine engineers and the crew is essential to maintain a safe working environment and keep the engine in optimal condition. 🌊 **Navigating Towards the Future:** As a Third Engineer Officer, I commit to maintaining the highest standards of maintenance, contributing to the safety, efficiency, and sustainability in the maritime sector. I believe that this type of work is one of the most exciting as it can create an immense team bond. I invite colleagues and industry professionals to share their experiences and perspectives on marine engine maintenance. Together, we can navigate the seas with greater safety and responsibility. #MaritimeIndustry #ShipEngineering #MarineEngines #Sustainability #Innovation
