| Job Title: Aircraft Maintenance Engineer - M1 | Job Code: 7315.01 |
| Date: | Author: Bonita Rogers |
| Job Location: Whitehorse Yukon Canada | |
| Report To: Director of Maintenance | Status: |
Job Summary:
“Troubleshoot Systems – The systems in an aircraft work together but also be able to survive if another system fails. A large part of the AME ’s job is to carefully and systematically track down system faults that can range from hydraulic leaks to problems with the satellite phone system.” (BC)
“ Bend and Form Sheet Metal – The airframe of an aircraft is its structural skeleton.” Some exteriors of aircraft are “carefully fitted sheet metal, usually aluminum, which can be replaced without major disruptions to the integrity of the aircraft.” (BC)
“Repair Engines and Turbine Assemblies – Gas turbine engines contain thousands of parts. Each part has a service life and must be replaced or re-machined according to a rigorous schedule that has been worked out by the aircraft manufacturer.” (BC)
“Undertake Emergency Repairs – Aircraft can sometimes have mechanical difficulties at remote airfields. Sometimes AME ’s are required to travel to the aircraft and repair it with their mobile tool kits and the spare parts they carry. Working in the field, away from well-equipped machine shop, can be challenging and sometimes requires innovation, which makes pulling off a complicated repair in the field a rewarding experience.” (BC)
“Perform Routine Maintenance on Schedule – At times there can be many simultaneous demands on an AME ’s time, so these workers learn to prioritize and organize responsibilities. Routine maintenance must be fit into a busy maintenance hanger. Though aircraft look sleek and shiny, underneath the gleaming exterior is a seething mass of friction points that cries out for regular lubrication.” (BC)
“Formal Documentation of Repairs – You have a legal responsibility to ensure the airworthiness of all repairs performed by you or performed under your supervision, and these must be recorded in a log book. As soon as a flight crew takes possession of an aircraft, they look in this book to see that the aircraft is safe and cleared by you. Full documentation of all work carried out is maintained in a separate file.” (BC) In this day and age, all entries in the log books are used to let everyone know the work that was carried out by the engineers and also to convey to Transport Canada that the work necessary was carried out with due diligence.
MAY “supervise and Assign Work – Because AME ’s are highly trained workers, they often are put in charge of technicians and non-licensed mechanics. The AME must carefully supervise their work and assign tasks based on each crew member’s skill and experience.” (BC)
Will work on aircraft set out in the “Scope of Work” approved by Transport Canada .

Summary
“Aircraft Mechanical Engineers “M-1” – are certified to do the broadest range of tasks so their work environments are varied. Work usually takes place indoors in hangers but from time to time they are required to work outdoors if repairs need to be made quickly or if no hanger space is available. AME -M’s often work under time pressure to maintain slight schedules, yet have a responsibility to maintain safety standards. This can cause the job to be stressful. AME -M’s often oversee the work of apprentices and technicians. The work environment is generally noisy, smelly and dirty, and AME -M’s are often required to stand, lie or kneel in awkward positions. Work on wings and fuselages is required, so AME -M’s must be comfortable working at heights. These workers must be able to lift and position heavy engine parts and aircraft components. AME -M’s can expect shift work.” (BC)
