Avionics Technicians
Installing, inspecting, testing, and repairing KC-130 electrical systems directly overlaps with civilian aircraft electrical component installation and repair.
How to prepare: Compare the AET exam content with your maintenance experience and build a study plan for gaps in electronics and aircraft fundamentals.
What the civilian work involves
- Test and troubleshoot instruments, components, and assemblies, using circuit testers, oscilloscopes, or voltmeters.
- Adjust, repair, or replace malfunctioning components or assemblies, using hand tools or soldering irons.
- Install electrical and electronic components, assemblies, and systems in aircraft, using hand tools, power tools, or soldering irons.
