The Army describes 15D Aircraft Powertrain Repairer as the Soldier who inspects and maintains aircraft powertrain systems, disassembling and fixing parts such as transmissions, engines, and rotary wings, and adjusting, balancing, and aligning every powertrain system so planes and helicopters are safe and ready to fly. Civilians call this aircraft powertrain and engine repair, which is why aircraft mechanics and service technicians are among this page's matches.

A note from the founder

I served on active duty in the U.S. Air Force from 2001 to 2009 as a 2W0 Munitions Systems specialist and a C-130 Loadmaster. I served in the Air Force, not the Army, so this page is built from O*NET and BLS data rather than my own memories. The problem is the same in every branch: your experience is valuable, and it has to be written in the civilian employer's language.
