ABOUT AVIATION INSPECTOR CAREERS

It's comforting to know that aviation inspectors have been on the job when you board an aeroplane. They verify that all aeroplanes registered in the United States comply with federal safety regulations. One method is to do a thorough check of the aircraft. 

Flight and repair data must also be examined by aviation inspectors. Only aircraft with a valid FAA airworthiness certificate can fly. Maintenance methods, air navigation aids, and communications equipment are all inspected by aviation inspectors. 

Aviation inspectors typically have both work-related experience and a college degree. They frequently specialise in a specific type of aircraft, thus their knowledge is frequently put to use in other ways, from accident investigations to licencing exams for industry workers. The aviation inspector's goal is to ensure that every flight is as safe as possible. schedule takes a back seat
