Mécanicien et contrôleur d'aéronefs

Les mécaniciennes et les mécaniciens d’aéronefs, aussi appelés contrôleurs d’aéronefs ou techniciens d’entretien d’avions, inspectent et vérifient les différents composants et systèmes présents sur des avions et des hélicoptères (systèmes hydrauliques, moteurs, turbines, systèmes de navigation, structures, etc.). Ils détectent les problèmes techniques, effectuent la maintenance et la réparation et rédigent des rapports techniques. Une carrière comme mécanicien d’aéronefs exige une personnalité responsable, minutieuse et autonome. C’est un métier stimulant pour les personnes qui aiment résoudre des problèmes et s’intéressent aux nouvelles technologies.
