maintenance.

Five years active duty Marine Corps service with Honorable Discharge

Relevant Experience

Maintained, troubleshot, repaired, removed, installed, tested, and

inspected aircraft wiring, components, avionics, electrical, and

pitot static systems on All mentioned platforms: AH-1W, AH-1Y, UH-1N, UH-1Y

(Bell 212), TH-57A (Bell 206), and CH-53E helicopters.

Avionics systems repaired and inspected on these aircraft include UHF-VHF

Radio Sets, Satellite Communication, Communication System Control,

Interphone Control System, TACAN, IFF, Miniaturized Airborne GPS Receiver,

Control Display Navigation 800, Automatic Flight Control System, Embedded

MM Gun Turret, Missile Systems-TOW, Hellfire, & Sidewinder, Aircraft

Survivability, Helmet Sight System, Multifunctional Display System, Health

Usage Managements Systems-Vibration Analysis, Cockpit Management, Compass

Systems, Digital Map Systems, Radar Altitude Systems, Electronic

Countermeasure, and IR Countermeasures, etc.

Electrical systems repaired and inspected on these helicopters include 28

VDC power, 115 VAC power, external power, batteries, 5 VDC & 115 VAC

internal/ external lighting, T700-GE-401 Engine/Powerplant electrical,

Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) System electrical, Starter & Igniter System, DC

Generator, AC Inverter System, Caution & Warning, Chip Indicating,

Hydraulic Blower/Cooling, Torque Indication, Oil Pressure & Temperature

Indication, Measured Gas Temperature Indication, Engine & Drive Tachometer

Indication, Fuel/Auxiliary Fuel Systems, Fuel Quantity Indication, and

Flight Idle-Stop, etc.

Pitot systems repaired and inspected were Airspeed Indication, Vertical

Airspeed Indication, Barometric Altitude Indication, and Low Altitude Air

Data System.

Maintaining these multiple platforms entailed:

Removing and Installing various components and wiring assemblies such as

receivers, transmitters, receiver/transmitters, transponders, control

panels, antennas, antenna converters, logic units, interface control units,

control display navigation units, indicators, gauges, multifunctional

displays, laser & radar detecting sensors, digital & analog control units,

mission computers, map computers, sequencer units, aircraft & cockpit

wiring integration remote terminals, boresight reticle units, Heads Up

Displays, FLIR turret units, video cassette & video tape recorders, digital

video recorders, cathode ray tubes, EGI units, internal & external lighting

assemblies, lighting bezels, integrally lit panels, bulbs, LEDs, switches,

electromagnetic switches, push button annunciators, knobs, relays, voltage

sensors, voltage regulators, generators, bus bars, circuit breakers, remote

control circuit breakers, circuit breaker panels, AC inverters, current

limiters, transformers, oil pressure & temperature switches & transducers,

accelerometers, control motion transducers, shunts, solenoids, and magnetic

index sensors. Removed and reinstalled structural panels and daily access

panels to gain access to all aircraft components.

Wiring Installation and Repair required terminating, splicing, crimping,

soldering, banding, bonding, potting, sealing, marking, inspecting,

cleaning, preserving, removing, and installing wiring components/wiring.

This includes rheostats, resistors, diodes, terminal block/junctions, bus

wires, single conductor wiring, shielded wiring, RF cables, coaxial cables,

twin & triaxial cables, braided & shielded harnesses, coaxial connectors,

RF connectors, military spec circular & rectangular connectors, solder

connectors, contact crimp connectors, and wire terminal lugs, etc. The use

of soldering irons, heating tools, banding tools, crimping tools, and

insulation strippers were utilized in

the wire maintenance tasks. Lock/safety wiring was another very important

skill obtained while securing certain electrical connectors.

Troubleshooting & Maintaining required the use and comprehension of various

naval maintenance manuals. Enclosed in those manuals are system theory of

operation,

Troubleshooting trees, wiring diagrams, schematics, tables, illustrations,

install & removal procedures, inspection procedures-(corrosion,

conditional, phase), and illustrated parts breakdowns. In troubleshooting

system malfunctions meters and test sets were utilized consistently. This

included the use of digital & analog multimeters, megohmmeters,

oscilloscopes, and signal generators in performing voltage, resistance,

continuity, frequency, and operational checks. Various testing equipment

and test sets were required to verify and maintain system functionality.

Test sets include IFF, TACAN, fuel quantity, fuel flow, torque sensor, T5,

aircraft survivability, pitot-static, countermeasures, weapons, AFCS, and

Stability Augmentation Control System test sets, etc. The use of mobile &

stationary external ground power equipment was a necessity required on a

daily basis while maintaining all platforms. This ground support equipment

required licensure that was obtained through classes, testing, and on the

job training.

Other Notable Maintenance Actions
