Aircraft Maintainence

Aircraft Maintenance Air Traffic Management and Safety Issues 1 Superior safety records are to judge past performance, but do not guarantee future (Australian Parliament 2004) [Ref. 3]. Airline operators, pilots, mechanics, flight attendants, government regulators and manufacturers are all as safe as possible to ensure the safety of the airline. However, many planes are still crashing because there are many other reasons such as pilot error (this is called "human factor"), fatigue factor, weather, traffic jam, and so on.

Air traffic controllers guide and monitor the aircraft, maintain safety, and inform the pilot of weather conditions and flight paths. Several air traffic controllers guide the aircraft through the airspace, while other air traffic controllers control arrival and departure. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) employs most air traffic controllers and usually asks for completion at the FAA Academy. According to the US Labor Statistics Bureau (BLS), the average annual salary of air traffic controllers in May 2015 was $ 122,950. In the same year, the annual average salary of air traffic controllers adopted by the federal government was $ 122,310 (ww.bls.gov). The US Bureau of Labor Statistics stated in 2015 that the federal government hired 20,370 of 23,130 domestic air traffic controllers. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of air traffic controllers is expected to decline by 9% between 2014 and 2024, and employment competition is expected to be more intense.

Aircraft mechanics are, in many cases, one of the most expensive mechanic of all kinds of machines. They repair and maintain a system that promotes aircraft such as helicopters and aircraft. As of 2013, BLS reported that the average hourly wage of an aircraft mechanic was $ 27.70 and the average annual salary was $ 57,610. Technicians specializing in the maintenance and repair of navigation and radar systems, known as avionics, report an average wage equivalent to $ 27.38 per hour and $ 56,940 per year.

The aircraft mechanic checks the aircraft engines, instruments and aircraft fuselage, resolves the problem while the aircraft is on the ground, and confirms that the aircraft is ready for flight. Many mechanics are focusing on specific parts of the aircraft, such as turbine engines and related systems. The aircraft mechanic is approved by the FAA to complete the educational program from the aircraft maintenance school. According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, as of May 2015, the median annual income for aircraft mechanics and service technicians was $ 58,370. Employment is expected to increase by 1% between 2014 and 2024. Growth has been relaxed as airlines entrust more maintenance work to other countries.
