ABOUT THE JOB

JOHNSON, LARANCE CIV USAF AFMC WR-ALC/OBHB was invited to the meeting. To provide military members with an opportunity to increase their military training and skills in a Career with WR-ALC for the Depot Inspection, Maintenance and repair of USAF aircraft, avionic/electronic devices and aerospace ground equipment. Avionics/Electronics mechanics independently install, modify, overhaul, maintain, troubleshoot, and repair electronics equipment of moderate complexity or a system of limited complexity. Electronic equipment serviced at this level is usually self-contained and functionally independent such as color radar receivers and transmitters, video recorders, color video cameras/recorders, audio recorders, two-way radios, multichannel very high frequency (VHF) or ultra high frequency (UHF) transmitters or receivers, power supplies, and multilayered printed circuit boards. Representative of systems of limited complexity are public address, nurse call, security monitoring and access systems, closed circuit TV monitor systems, and personal computer systems. Working from manufacturers' specifications, schematics, block diagrams, and technical orders, they determine the operation of the circuits, locate the points from which to take readings, analyze the schematic layout and make preliminary visual inspections and operational tests to determine components causing malfunctions or invalid readings. They make the required repairs by replacing damaged, missing, burnt or faulty items such as printed circuit cards; and transistors, diodes, resistors, etc., using the latest techniques in micro-soldering. They use a variety of test equipment such as oscilloscopes, pulse and signal generators, distortion and waveform analyzers, digital data generators, digital volt meters, frequency and pulse counters, and special test panels.
