Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populated·from NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Certification)

  • Oscilloscopes and voltmeters — operate independently to test and troubleshoot malfunctioning avionics instruments and circuit assemblies in a certificated repair station.
  • Malfunctioning components and assemblies — diagnose faults and perform adjustments or replacements using hand tools and soldering irons with minimal supervisory oversight.
  • Radio systems and instrument connections — complete wiring and connector installations to manufacturer specifications using hand tools in a production maintenance environment.
  • Maintenance and repair records — maintain accurate, compliant documentation of all work performed in accordance with FAA Part 43 requirements.
  • Ground support and test equipment — configure and operate to conduct functional flight-readiness checks of avionics systems on commercial or general aviation aircraft.
  • Wiring installation layouts — plan and execute component routing following blueprints and wiring diagrams for aircraft modification or repair projects.
  • Quality control checklists — apply to verify that repaired or installed assemblies meet airworthiness standards before returning aircraft to service.
  • ERP and spreadsheet software — enter and track parts usage, labor hours, and maintenance schedules in a shop management system.
  • Troubleshooting logic — apply systematic diagnostic reasoning to isolate intermittent electrical faults across familiar avionics system architectures.
  • Time management practices — prioritize and sequence concurrent maintenance tasks to meet aircraft return-to-service deadlines in a fast-paced MRO environment.
