Everyday we are flooded with news about #pilot shortage and its impact in the #aviation industry. But we don't see much coverage about the shortage of #maintenance technicians. This is in some extend even worse. A Maintenance Technician is a highly skilled and qualified technical key member in the operation of an #airline. An #aircraft cannot fly without its mandatory maintenance and this cannot be done without the skilled technicians that perform it. Many people still doesn't understand the full scope of the job and the financial stability it brings with it. The scarcity of technicians is creating constraints, in particular in small operators and we see an increase on the payment. In particular B2 technicians (avionics) are even in lower numbers so there is a high demand for them. For these and more reasons, #airwaysaviation will bring back its Maintenance Technician Courses in 2024. Stay tuned. #aviationtraining #aviationacademy #mro #maintenancetraining

Boeing released their Pilot and Technician Outlook for 2023-2042 recently, and, 690,000 new aviation maintenance technicians are going to be needed to maintain the global commercial fleet over the next 20 years. That means the world needs to train 34,500 new aircraft mechanics a year to meet the demand. Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/gvU5bRN. With so many aviation mechanics needed, it's sure to be a stable career for years to come. So, why not take advantage of that demand and sign up for our first-ever A&P class this fall? #AviationMaintenance #AircraftMechanic #ThrustMaintenance

In aviation, the stripes (also known as epaulets) on a pilot's uniform indicate their rank and level of experience. Here's a breakdown of what each stripe typically represents: One Stripe: This is usually worn by a trainee pilot or a flight engineer. They are still in training or are in a support role on the flight deck. Two Stripes: This is often worn by a second officer or a flight engineer. The second officer is usually a newer pilot, assisting the first officer and captain. Three Stripes: This is typically worn by a first officer, also known as a co-pilot. The first officer is the second-in-command to the captain and assists in operating the aircraft. Four Stripes: This is worn by the captain. The captain is the pilot in command of the aircraft and is responsible for the overall operation and safety of the flight. Some airlines may have variations in these designations, but this is the most common standard used in the aviation industry. #pilottraining #aviationtrainingacademy #aviationtrainingcenter #pilotlife #flyingschool #flyingacademy #pilotacademy #aviationindustry✈️ #aviationcollege #aviationcourses #aviationlovers #pilotlife #pilotstudents #airport #airportlife #airportjobs #cpl #cplclass #pplclass #pilot #carrer #flyingpassionate #aviationcareer #pilotclass #aerofalcons #pplwithclass #pplwithclass #academy #learning

Aviation History The Skyfox is an American twin-engined jet trainer aircraft, a highly upgraded development of the #Lockheed T-33. It was designed as a primary trainer to compete with and replace the Cessna T-37 Tweet. Besides its primary role as a trainer, the aircraft was envisioned to have other roles as well, including ground attack. The program was started by the Skyfox Corporation in 1983, and was acquired by #Boeing in 1986. Over 6,500 #Lockheed #T33 trainers were built, making it one of the most successful jet trainer programs in history. However, technology passed the "T-Bird" by, and by the 1980s, it was clear that the world's air forces needed a more modern training aircraft. The "Skyfox" was conceived and developed by Russell O'Quinn. The modification designs were led by T-33 designer Irvin Culver and a number of other former Lockheed employees formed Flight Concepts Incorporated in 1982, with the intent of modernizing the T-33 design. The company's name was later changed to Skyfox Corporation. The highly modified and modernized aircraft was expected to cost about half of a new comparable trainer, such as the BAE Hawk and Dassault/Dornier Alpha Jet. With the design work done, Skyfox purchased 80 surplus T-33s. The Skyfox was marketed either as a complete converted aircraft from Boeing, or as a conversion kit, with the customer providing the T-33 airframe. The conversion incorporated about 70% of the existing T-33 airframe, but replaced the existing internal single Allison J33 turbojet engine with two Garrett TFE731-3A turbofan engines mounted externally. Together, the two TFE731s weighed 17% less than the single original engine, while providing 60% more thrust on 45% less fuel. The engine change provided a large internal volume for fuel storage, eliminating the need for the T-33's wingtip tanks, but tip mountings were retained to accommodate optional auxiliary fuel tanks if desired. Other modifications included inboard wing leading-edge extensions, the replacement of the tip tanks with winglets, a new canopy with one-piece windshield, revised nose geometry to improve visibility from the cockpit and to fair into the T-33's lateral intakes, new tail surfaces with a mid-set tailplane (although the original wings were retained), and new avionics.
