AIRCRAFT MECHANIC JOB DESCRIPTION

An Aircraft Mechanic keeps certificated aircraft legal to fly. The work spans hands-on repair, scheduled inspection, and the paperwork trail that satisfies FAA FAR Parts 91, 43, and 121, each piece equally non-negotiable. Working within a line or general aviation maintenance environment, the Aircraft Mechanic holds direct accountability for airworthiness sign-off on every task completed, a responsibility that distinguishes this role from support or logistics technicians who never hold that authority. Regulatory compliance is not a background condition here; it is the measurable output every shift produces.

As the Aircraft Mechanic, you own the inspection, repair, and return-to-service of civil aircraft under FAA-approved maintenance programs, ensuring each aircraft is safe for flight before departure. You work within a maintenance team alongside a Lead Mechanic or Maintenance Station Supervisor, covering scheduled and unscheduled work across line, hangar, and flight-line environments.

Career Impact: Holding a valid FAA Airframe and Powerplant Certificate and accumulating line maintenance hours in FAR Part 91 and 121 operations builds the documented record that opens paths to Inspector Authorization and lead-level roles.

Business Impact: Flight schedules depend on an Aircraft Mechanic's sign-off; delays in return-to-service directly affect on-time departure rates and operator revenue, making each completed task a measurable contribution to the bottom line.

Growth Opportunity: Experience across fixed-wing, rotary-wing, and turboprop platforms within a single role expands type familiarity and positions the mechanic for endorsement-based pay increases and eventual progression to Lead Mechanic or Maintenance Supervisor.

• Prior experience in a unionized or CBA-governed maintenance environment.
• Proficiency with maintenance management systems used for work order entry and records tracking.

• On-time return-to-service rate, measuring how consistently aircraft are cleared for scheduled departures.
• Maintenance discrepancy closure rate per shift, reflecting the thoroughness of inspection and repair completion.
• Documentation error rate on FAA forms and aircraft logs, indicating regulatory compliance accuracy.
• Repeat write-up rate for the same system, measuring first-time fix effectiveness on corrective actions.
• Time-to-complete on scheduled inspection intervals, tracking adherence to approved maintenance program milestones.
• Typical tools: hand tool sets (mechanic-supplied per employer policy); calibrated torque and rigging equipment; ground support equipment, including jacks, lifts, and ladders.

• Base Salary Range: $55,000 to $80,000 annually, depending on experience and endorsements
• Bonus: shift differential and endorsement-based supplemental pay are common; an annual bonus is less typical at this level
• Equity: not typical for individual contributor Aircraft Mechanic roles in commercial aviation
• Health Benefits: medical, dental, and vision coverage; employer contribution levels vary by operator size
• PTO: 10 to 15 days annually; increases with tenure; some operators offer additional sick leave
