Dennis Mallory has recently completed two years of flight training at his local community college. Although his initial career plan was to become a commercial pilot, his time spent flying convinced him that he is far more interested in a career as an avionics mechanic. He and 14 other prospective avionics students are meeting today with you, the school's most experienced avionics mechanics instructor, at the maintenance facility for one of the nation's largest commercial airlines. In an essay of approximately 225 words describe what you will discuss with these prospective students with respect to the training required to become a certified avionics mechanic, what specialties exist in the career, the type of work avionics mechanics regularly perform, what skills and personal attributes the successful mechanic displays, and any opportunities for career advancement.
