I have thirty-six years of technical hands-on and theoretical work experience. My writings are the sum of my own experiences added to my abilities, but from the inside looking out. I have attended a part 147 aviation maintenance school to learn the basics of aviation and theory. Upon graduation from Sacrament City College, aviation department, I had no aviation hands-on work experience; however, I had a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certificate to learn. I spent many years owning my own fixed-base operation (FBO), working as a civil servant on military aircraft and gaining practical hands-on work experience before joining the FAA Oakland Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) to learn the legal concepts of aviation in-depth. During my sixth year with the Oakland FSDO, I won the National Flight Standards 2004 Field Inspector of the Year award for technical excellence, professionalism, and dedication to the enhancement of aviation safety.
My career with FAA was all about aviation safety, where I used my FAA knowledge and work experiences to mentor other aviation aircraft mechanics and pilots. By working with mechanics and pilots, I was able to gain their trust as a regulator and, more importantly, as a knowledgeable friend who could answer their many questions. Working closely with the public won me the aircraft Maintenance Knuckle Buster Award in March 2002.
As an FAA inspector, I expended great effort in the home/amateur built arena. In another technical contribution, I developed and made available step-by-step checklists outlining the procedures from inspection through certification. I again expended the scope of organizational impact when I wrote an article that was published in Kit Planes magazine, following the flight test guidelines contained in AC-90-89. The article highlighted accident rates among experimental aircraft during the first forty hours of flight test. As a result, I have been inundated with requests from all over the world for copies of the flight test program. I have provided copies of the article and the program to airmen worldwide, thus having a global impact on aviation safety.
After thirty-six years of government civil servant time, I retired from the Oakland Flight Standard District Office in California and relocated to Yamagata, Japan, to retire. I continue being active in aviation with my writing and assisting FAA mechanics and pilots. I currently hold an Airframe and Powerplant, Inspection Authorization, and Senior Parachute Rigger certificates with the FAA.weniger sehen
