PLANE TALK
maintenance have both developed “airmanship” or professional standards. Many of these are now written in regulations, advisory material, training guides, manuals and policies. However, some are still known as good trade practices developed and practiced over the last century or so. Professionalism can also be
understood as following the values and principles embodied in airmanship. Attitude can also be a major part of being professional. Do not let hazardous attitudes aff ect your work and career. Some are as follows: • The regulations are for others; I can do better.
• Don’t be impulsive, check the manuals and procedures before acting.
• Don’t think you’re bullet proof. Bad things can happen to you as well as others.
• Avoid taking unnecessary risks by thinking you can do it by taking chances outside of what is prudent under the circumstances.
• Try to avoid being negative; it’s better to think there may be something I can do to fi x this. One sign of acting and being
professional is continuous self- improvement by attending courses, seminars and reading literature relating to your area of expertise. You
will also fi nd as you advance, that the more non-aviation education and learning interests you have make it easier to circulate among the leaders of the aviation industry and other segments of society. Continue to strive for self-assessment and excellence in what you do. Be disciplined in managing your workload, performance, attitudes and stress. Last but not least, be positive and enjoy your aviation career serving a vital transportation system.
If you think the skies are crowded, wait ‘til you see the avionics shops.
