Summary

Results-oriented Aeronautical Engineering Intern with hands-on experience at Zambia Flying Doctor Services. During my Internship, I demonstrated proficiency in performing operational checks on critical aircraft components, adhering to industry standards outlined in ATA chapters.

Specifically, I conducted thorough operational checks on the three primary control surfaces (elevator, rudder, ailerons) following ATA Chapter 27 guidelines, ensuring precision and compliance.

My responsibilities extended to comprehensive visual inspections of the PT6 turboprop engine, aligning with ATA Chapter 72 requirements. I conducted meticulous examinations and oil checks, contributing to the overall airworthiness and reliability of the aircraft.

Additionally, I played a key role in the assessment of the fuel system for the Caravan C208B, meticulously inspecting fuel tanks for stains and potential leaks. My adherence to ATA Chapter 28 guidelines included detailed examinations of drain valves, with a keen focus on maintaining the highest safety standards.

My internship at Zambia Flying Doctor Services equipped me with practical experience in aeronautical engineering, honing my skills in operational checks, visual inspections, and compliance with industry regulations.
