Competing at Westchester Aviation Career Fair
No spandex, blood
doping or foreign judge scoring controversies allowed, these
competitors are serious about aviation maintenance. The
Professional Aviation Maintenance Association (PAMA) announced its
second regional PAMA Aviation Maintenance Olympics competition will
be held May 19th-20th, 2005 during the Westchester Aviation Career
Fair in White Plains, NY.
"The Aviation Maintenance Olympics is a forum to demonstrate the
high degree of technical skill and professionalism that maintenance
technicians apply at work every day," said Tom Yanus, PAMO Chair
and Program Manager, Charles Taylor Department of Aviation
Maintenance Science, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in
Daytona Beach in a news release. "The competitors are at the top of
their game and truly represent the best of our industry."
Four PAMA chapters in the Great Lakes Region supported the first
regional Olympic event at the Great Lakes International Aviation
Conference in Lansing, MI in January. Very little warm-up or
stretching was involved, these folks jumped right in and got down
to business.
ANN was there and witnessed part of the competition including a
trial run by guest speaker and Air show pilot Julie Clark. She is
one of the sweetest ladies and best pilots you'll ever meet, but
double check her safety wire!
Olympians compete in Safety Wire, Hardware Identification, and
Hydraulic Line Fabrication. Snap-on tools is providing the prizes,
so you know the competition will be intense. Information about
registering as an individual or as a team, along with details of
the events are available on the PAMA website. The local Westchester
Aircraft Maintenance Association (WAMA) invited PAMA to this
event.
