Summary
I have been in multiple fields of aviation and have completed numerous qualifications in order to operate and service all flight controls. My main aircraft is the F-18A, but I have a good understanding of how flight controls work and how the hydraulic systems operate. I am also comfortable fabricating my own parts if I have the manuals in order to complete them. I have worked all shifts and taken the time to learn all that I can. I plan to learn more and improve my skills. Getting my A&P is also a top priority for me in the future, and I plan on getting it soon.
