Pilots/A&P Mechanics: If you qualify for a 119 position for a 121 or 135 operator, consider adding that detail to your LinkedIn profile and resume. I've noticed some pilots include "119" somewhere in their LinkedIn profile (usually in the title) and resume, specifying that they meet the qualifications for Director of Operations, Chief Pilot or Director of Maintenance roles under FAA 119.69(a). This small detail on your profile helps recruiters to quickly zone in on qualified 119 post holders in a LinkedIn candidate search. Many companies give the title "Chief Pilot” for positions that do not require a 119-qualified pilot. Searching this title alone leads to a large amount of unqualified profiles when searching for 119 qualified candidates. Jobseekers: Add "119" or "119 qualified" to your profile if you meet the qualifications (see attached link for the specific qualifications for 119 DO’s or CP’s). Recruiters: Consider using phrases such as “119 Director of Operations,” "119 Chief Pilot," or “119 Director of Maintenance” in your job postings if you are searching for experienced 119’s for 121 or 135 operations.  Example: "Must meet FAA 119.69(a) qualifications to perform the [insert title] role on a 135 certificate."  This specificity helps attract suitable candidates. If you are curious if you would qualify as a Director of Operations, Chief Pilot or Director of Maintenance for a 121 or 135 operation, see attached link which outlines detailed qualifications. https://lnkd.in/gJQtWzMi

Before 2014, it wasn't common to see B787 aircraft in every airport. One day in 2014, while I was working as a flight technician at Sweden's ARN airport, some crew members from one of the world's biggest operators in Europe came to look at our B787. They asked me to show them the cockpit and some maintenance functions. I proudly showed them around, feeling proud of Ethiopian Airlines. I considered myself a student that day and even now, which has helped me become knowledgeable. I innovated a B787 manual brake deactivation tool with a new method, approved NTO by Boeing. Additionally, I have submitted various technical papers to Boeing and my company. About a year ago, a B787 operator faced an electric spoiler issue at our airport, where the #5 spoiler actuator sheared. There was no deactivation tool on the aircraft, and I noticed a skill gap in the technical personnel. The company requested assistance, and I immediately spoke to the dispatch and line director to borrow the deactivation tool. I instructed a technician with five years of experience to deactivate the spoiler, and with my follow-up, he did it successfully. Now, I ensure that I don't skip any DDG procedures for my trainees. We cover all DDG procedures, CMCF, software, and cabin remarks comprehensively. Discussion point for today about B787 leading edge slat skew specially outboard slat by lanyard cable , focuses on the B787 leading edge slat skew , specifically the outboard slat controlled by the lanyard cable. If the lanyard cable breaks or is tensioned beyond its limit (causing a jam or skew), it will trigger the sensor, resulting in a slat drive caution. This is a no-go condition and will generate messages 27-22431/27-22441. According to the Fault Isolation Manual (FIM), we discovered that the leading edge slat GRA (geared rotary actuator) was defective and replaced it. Lanyard cable broken due to rusted GRA For more Lanyard Cable Function: The outboard leading edge slat skew lanyard cable is essential for maintaining the proper alignment of the slat. If this cable breaks or is tensioned beyond its limit, it can cause the slat to skew or jam. Detection Mechanism: The detection mechanism assembly, including the slat skew sensors, monitors the position and alignment of the slats. Any deviation beyond acceptable limits triggers alerts. Caution Indications: A broken or overly tensioned lanyard cable will cause the slat drive caution to appear. This is a "no-go" remark, meaning the aircraft cannot be dispatched with this issue unresolved. The associated messages 27-22431 or 27-22441 will occur, indicating the nature of the problem.
