I am an experienced Avionics Technician (63D) at MALS-14, Cherry Point, NC, specializing in RTCASS maintenance, troubleshooting, and repair at the Intermediate Maintenance Level. I inspect, test, and analyze airborne WRAs, SRAs, and support equipment beyond normal fault isolation procedures. My expertise includes installing, troubleshooting, and repairing AV-8B Harrier radar electronic assets, RTCASS test benches, and other Naval Avionics systems.
I adhere to all safety regulations, including PPE, FOD prevention, hazmat handling, and ESD protocols. Proficient in blueprint reading, schematic interpretation, and tool maintenance, I ensure proper tool usage and tracking to prevent FOD hazards. I operate NALCOMIS for work tracking, documentation, and shift passdowns, ensuring accurate repair history and accountability.
My troubleshooting skills involve using digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, and spectrum analyzers to diagnose faults down to the circuit card level. I replace capacitors, resistors, transistors, and other components, ensuring compliance with strict tolerances. I also maintain RTCASS and HPRTCASS test benches, performing data backups, calibration logging, and operational tracking.
I handle RF connections, cables, and transmitter repairs, including PAO coolant purging, refilling, leak checks, and flow tests to meet regulations. My attention to detail ensures optimal equipment performance while minimizing failures, safety risks, and downtime.
