In March, Euromind had the pleasure to welcome 16 polish trainees to train themselves as aircraft mechanics for two weeks in Seville. They could gain some experience in this field and acquire new skills. They mainly learnt elements of landing gear, its function and configuration, learnt different parts and engine operations, and differences between turbine and piston engines, different types of propellers and its functions, performed maintenance tasks in the workshop, depending on the state of the engines in the workshops (on different engines propellers, turbines and aircrafts), performed maintenance tasks on the hydraulics systems for example changed engine oil, maintained the contact magneto, cleaned the spark plug etc, took part in the study visits in a flight company and in a Military Base, took part in a guided tour of an assembly line where different processes of assembly and tools used were explained, inspected the pressure sensor and stages of power turbine, read technical documentation (for example Operations Manual on Lycoming Motors maintenance), carried out preflight and post flight checks on the aircraft…

Besides the group training, students could discover a bit more the Andalusian culture enjoying a city tour in Seville, going up Las Setas which is a unique wooden structure in the city center, travelling to Malaga and going out for a flamenco show.

We trust that what they learned during their stay and the experience they gained will be useful for their future!
