My Final Project

Hello, I'm Christian Novis and this is my final project about my last year studying in Globalia, and I guess it will also be the last post of this blog. After two years of hard work, it's time to say goodbye to this course. Now we have to enjoy a new adventure, our two years of practice as helpers to get our B1.1 license.

This license will allow us to sign maintenance tasks on aircraft. However, our training is not over yet. After these two years of practice, we will have to return to study to approve the specific type of aircraft courses. In our case, these specific aircraft are such as the Boeing 737, Airbus 330, Boeing 787 or Embraer ERJ 190; since these are the planes that Air Europa operates. We have many possibilities in this sector and that is why it is sometimes difficult to talk about very future events. Not only I mean as an aeromechanical maintenance engineer, we can belong to the same sector but in a different profession as pilots, TCPs, etc.

However, in this last post I will be nostalgic and talk about these last two years studying this. As I said before, these have been tough years, both academically and personally. It has been two years in which I have learned a lot and, above all, in those that I have matured. Currently, I am aware of the great responsibility of being an aeromechanical maintenance engineer and the pressure they have to endure. It is not easy at all, nor study it and work on it will be even more. Although, all these disadvantages are frightening, on the other hand they make you see how rewarding and necessary this profession is for the world. 

 

Personally, studying this is the only way out that I have, and I bet for it a few years ago when I decided not to do the selectivity to enter here. At the beginning, I wanted to do this course to specialize in the subject and then study some college career such as automotive or aeronautical engineering. I started without knowing much about airplanes and mechanics, and it's hard to believe when so many relatives and acquaintances of mine have worked in the world of aviation. I had used tools previously but it is not comparable with all the knowledge I currently have. 

I have learned a lot these two years, a lot. I have suffered from some exam fail, such as engines or aerodynamics, and I have enjoyed passing others. There have been bad days, but there have been many more good days. Sometimes, there have been things that I have not liked or jobs that have seemed tedious and boring to perform, and others have been very entertaining and fun. 

 

I started the course without knowing anyone of the 16 people that we were the first year in class. It is probable that I have not got along with some of my classmates as I would like, and it is probable that I do not like them all. However, I have met very interesting and important people. They are not only good companions with whom I have become very close, some have become true friends. I am proud to have friends who have been helping and supporting me at all times, and I hope that them have felt the same for me.

It has been complicated for me all this. I still have some module to approve for EASA, but I know that I have time to pass all the modules. I have clear that I have to finish this, although there have been days that I wanted to leave it. I do not have another and I hope to get it. If I pass the last exam (Module 11), the most difficult exam, I will have to do the practices in the hangar. I will do my best to make them go well and I will try to continue learning. I do not know with certainty what I will do in the future, I like this but I don't know if I will be working all my life. I do not want to limit myself and I want to go as far as possible. What I have clear is that I want to be satisfied with what I work and be happy with it.

Time will put everyone in their place and I will decide later on what I want to do. It seems that it was yesterday when everything began, and without realizing it we have already reached the end of a stage. It's a bit sad because I'll miss some things. Although, a new stage begins before us, a cycle has been closed so that now another one begins.

Thank you very much for your attention during these years with each post. I hope you liked it and you could learn something new. Thank you very much again and see you.

Best wishes!
