Hello,
I am in the application process of becoming a AVN. Most of what's on here is where you may end up and I know that will be pretty much anywhere.
I was wondering more what life is like on the job. Is it shift work or is most of it done during the day? It sounds like your assigned to a sqn so I would think you would just be working on one type of air craft. Do you work in teams or does it depend on the job? When new things are introduced is there training on it before hand?
What is included in the job deception... I am hoping for something other than, "Whatever you are told to do." Is it all mechanical maintenance? Do AVN do group crew functions as well? Is there a lot of paper work or reporting/recording what was done?
I am not sure when AVN may get posted outside of Canada. I would think they may go if part of their sqn goes but how often does that happen? I think the last time we send CF18 was for Kosovo. Do we have any helicopters with out troops posted now? And thus would there be AVN there to support? On the other side, would we send AVN with air craft if they go on training or away to competition?
