I have approximately 7 years direct helicopter experience.. been a while since I've worked on helicopters but you don't forget how. I have been working on airplanes for the past 10 years, the prior 10 years was where my most helicopter experience was. The main one being Helidyne Systems Incorporated in Fort Worth, where I worked for 5 years on various Bell aircraft. 206s, 412, 222s. The 206 s we did 13 of them total tear down skins and all.. replaced engines and transmissions.. my primary duties were structures But did a lot of maintenance as well. The 412s and 222s were a lot of modifications. New aircraft... green...installing customer wanted modifications. Some reverse engineering involved...Example... Limo window design and installation. Seat frame design and installation for Bell 222 medical helicopters. I have also done modifications to aerospeciale aircraft installing wire cutter mods.. antenna installation mods.. also installing surveillance systems on helicopters... My primary duties were structures but I also do avionics or whatever needs to be done. I'm one of the best at what I do. After working alongside thousands of people across the United States at various contracts as a contractor ...I'm better than 80 percent of mechanics in performing the tasks I do, the quality, and time at which it takes to do the tasks. I am safety and quality oriented... Minimal mistakes. Don't mean to sound arrogant. It's true. I am also a very good person and willing to help anybody and not afraid to ask for help if I need it.
