An Airframe Fitter is a skilled tradesperson responsible for assembling, maintaining, repairing, and inspecting the structural components of aircraft. This includes working on the fuselage, wings, tail, and landing gear, ensuring all parts meet strict safety and quality standards.
They use a variety of hand tools, power tools, and precision measuring instruments to carry out tasks such as riveting, welding, and fitting parts according to technical drawings and engineering specifications.
Airframe Fitters collaborate closely with engineers and other maintenance personnel to identify faults, conduct routine maintenance, and certify aircraft airworthiness. Their work is crucial for the safety and reliability of both commercial and military aircraft.
