Sixty-one year old Weber was hired from the automotive industry in 2007 to bring efficiency to the production model and sort out production problems with the A380 superjumbo.

An Airbus spokesman said that the A380 problems had been resolved and other problems had been addressed during Weber’s time with the company. The spokesman did not name the replacement, but said he would arrive in early 2011 to ensure a smooth transition.

An aircraft interior design company has released the first images of controversial new ’stand-up’ plane seats. Italian firm Avioninteriors, which is developing the SkyRider seat, claims it will offer both cheaper fare options and more capacity on board, reports Travolution. The designs were released just months after Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary said that he planned to introduce standing room on his flights, with tickets selling for as little as £5 per passenger. A representative for the company producing the seat said: “The SkyRider is intended as a new basic class. The passenger’s seating position is similar to that of a touring motor-scooter rider. “This posture permits that the overall longitudinal space occupied by the seat with the seated passenger is far less than that of a conventional, very high density 28-inch economy class seat.” It also claims that the new 23-inch seats will allow airlines to increase passenger numbers on board. Air safety regulator the CAA is expected to turn down any proposals to introduce the ’standing seats’ on UK airlines.

Aviation avionics

Become an Avionics Technician

• Aviation avionics are hugely complex and it is completely unfeasible for you to be able to work in all areas so you need to decide early on what sort of avionics jobs you are interested in. Development of aviation avionics involves an excellent knowledge of computer programming whereas the implementation will consist of physically inserting the aviation avionics in the aeroplane and calibrating them with everything else. This position is known as avionics technician.

• Regardless of which avionics jobs you decide you want to follow, you will need to go through years of training and studying for qualifications. In most cases, this is done on the job in the form of apprenticeships but there are special colleges that you can attend to gain the relevant qualifications beforehand.

• Those with aviation avionics jobs need to possess certain skills to be able to do their job correctly. This includes being able to work effectively as part of a team and individually, to be able to work under pressure to deadlines and to have exceptional eye for detail.

• Aviation avionics jobs in development will involve working full time hours, usually 9-5 but aviation technician jobs at an airport in a maintenance role could involve more antisocial hours as aeroplanes will need to be worked on around the clock. Usually, those with junior level avionics technician jobs will end up working the antisocial hours until they progress.

• Avionics technician jobs can come with wildly varying salaries, entry level avionics jobs will pay roughly £15k – £18k per year and this will rise dramatically with experience and it is not unheard of for senior level avionics technician jobs to earn upwards of £65k per year.

About Aviation Safety Jobs

• Aviation safety is hugely important and there are aviation safety jobs available at manufacturing plants as well as airports where aviation maintenance is carried out. As said previously, aviation safety jobs carry lots of responsibility with them and mistakes can be potentially catastrophic for aviation safety so the ability to work under pressure and to great detail is essential. You will work as part of a team in aviation safety jobs so good communicative skills are essential.

• Aviation safety inspectors will specialise in one area of aviation such as the airframe, the powerplant or the aviation avionics. If you are working in aviation maintenance at an airport, you may be expected to work on several different types of aeroplanes.

• Aviation safety jobs can involve a number of things such as working on the aeroplanes themselves, working as an aviation safety inspector to sign off aviation maintenance done by other people and finally management or supervisor roles in aviation safety that will manage people and projects.

• Aviation safety jobs will involve years of training and specialist qualifications that are usually acquired on the job through apprenticeships and job progression. Generally, those with aviation safety jobs will start in entry level positions and move from there. Low level aviation safety jobs will come with salaries ranging from £13k – £16k per year but these can rise dramatically and high level aviation safety jobs can come with salaries upwards of £70k per year.

Two of the most important aspects of the aviation industry are aviation maintenance and aviation safety. Aircraft need to be maintained and repaired so that they can carry passengers safely between different destinations around the world.

It is essential that meticulous maintenance is carried out on aircraft to make sure they are safe to fly. The group of people who make this happen are the aviation safety and aviation maintenance team. If this field of work interests you then this guide will continue to give you some more information on aviation maintenance and safety jobs.
