About the course
This qualification is achieved alongside the completion of advanced trade training and workplace experience as an Aircraft Systems Technician, Armament Technician, Avionic Systems Technician or Safety and Surface Technician in the Royal New Zealand Air Force.
Aircraft Systems Technician are jointly responsible for maintaining all aircraft mechanical systems. These systems include aircraft structures, flight controls, engines, propellers, helicopter rotors, hydraulics, pneumatics, landing gear and fuel. Your duties will range from day-to-day servicing of aircraft on the flight line to scheduled maintenance to maintaining the aircraft as it travels overseas.
Armament Technicians are responsible for maintaining military firearms, explosives demolition, countermeasures, guided missiles and general munitions support for our fleet of aircraft, converting them from work vehicles into combat weapons.
Avionic Systems Technicians work with modern electronic systems fitted to military aircraft. You will carry out all aspects of equipment installation, testing, troubleshooting, maintenance and repair. Whether you’re finding and repairing faults in aircraft on operations overseas, or working with our specialist equipment at maintenance facilities on base, being an Avionic Systems Technician is an exciting and challenging role.
Safety and Surface Technicians maintain aerial delivery and life preserving equipment, such as parachutes, helmets, oxygen masks and flotation devices. You will also learn skills in aeronautical finishing, including painting and upholstery.
