Aircraft mechanics specialize in preventative care. They conduct routine checks on the engines, landing gear, pressurized sections and other aircraft parts to make sure everything is working properly.
Working under pressure is a part of an aircraft mechanic's job. Maintaining safety standards while meeting strict deadlines to keep flight schedules can create a stressful environment. Salaries vary according to specific job and place of employment. The average mechanic earns an hourly rate of $21.
The majority of aircraft mechanics are trained in the 200 or so aviation mechanic schools certified by the FAA. Courses in mathematics, physics, chemistry, electronics, computer science and mechanical drawing skills are important for aircraft mechanics as they relate closely to the principles of aircraft aviation. If a career in aircraft maintenance and technology appeals to you, then Career Explorer can help.
