I wish to bring all of my aviation experience to use within a professional aviation organization as a pilot/technician.

I am no stranger to the rigors of life around airplanes. Long hours, calls in the middle of the night, changing tires in the snow or flying the boss from one meeting to the next with no rest. This is what I love about my chosen profession.

Please note the points listed below illustrating just a few of the things I can do within a flight department if I am allowed to act as a pilot/technician.

The aircraft will always have company technical representation while in maintenance and in normal operations. This will be a benefit for the following reasons…(some items relate mostly to the Global Express)

  1. Increased Quality Control at Service Centers.
  2. Increased “honesty of Service Centers”
  3. Face to Face, on site technical decisions are more accurate and save time.
  4. While the aircraft is in service I can learn maintenance tasks from hands on experience during Service Center visits to be incorporated into in house line maintenance. This will be realized as a slow but steady decrease in service visits and greater economy of rotable components. Why fly to Germany for a simple oil change and then do it early because you might not be going that way when the change becomes overdue?
  5. See and work with factory and fabricated special tools. This will result in less damage to the aircraft while learning to use them; and greater knowledge of their usefulness if a purchasing decision is considered.
  6. I would become an invaluable source of information during troubleshooting by being able to discuss faults as a technician with a pilots perspective and first hand knowledge. This also relieves the two primary crewmembers from lengthy discussions with maintenance at the end of a long flight. This minimizes the effects of crew rest requirements on turn around time.
  7. The benefit to item 6 is that I can perform in-flight analysis and troubleshooting. Using laptop maintenance data bases (CDROM Maintenance Manuals) in conjunction with EICAS and CAIMS displays; I can call ahead to the shop before we arrive for unscheduled maintenance. The captain can then make changes in the flight plane to get us to where we can get repairs. This new airplane only has 2 places in Europe and around 8 places in North America to get service. This necessitates the need for advanced planning for unplanned stops.
  8. In flight troubleshooting will reduce service time and expense. Less chance of having to do Flight Checks to verify problems and less troubleshooting steps for the Service Center. Less labor = Less $$.
  9. Technical representation within the flight crew allows for the best possible GO-NOGO decision in the least amount of time.
  10. A positive feeling for passengers and crew knowing an engineer is on board.
  11. You will need to pay one less First Officer as backup for those busy times thus saving money during the slow times

The last major check on a jet that I represented cost $90,000.00 USD. The original price would have been over $100,000.00 USD. Approximate savings – 10%.

I can write MEL’s as needed or develop additions to those documents with operational knowledge gained. Thus increasing the value of these important documents.

I can recognize trouble areas of both technical and operational areas and develop procedures to deal with them through additional inspections and revisions to the Operations Manual.

I can sign off maintenance with both the Turkish Technician and FAA Technician licenses, which will greatly reduce exportation and importation problems and costs if the occasion arises. Additionally and can issue FAA 337 forms under my IA rating. This would be a tremendous value if exportation to the USA is needed.

My fluency in English and strong technical and manufacturing background will result in a high degree of accuracy when dealing with the factory. On new aircraft this is a weekly and sometimes daily occurrence.

I am already known and trusted within the Turkish DGCA.

I could go on forever, so I won’t. The point that I am trying to make is that I would benefit your organization in many different ways. Strictly technical, pilot/technician and/or operations; any combination of these three at any time. Please feel free to contact me to discuss these points or just talk about flying.

Thank you for your consideration.
