I’m looking for a company that can repair an A320 Control Display Unit for the GNADIRS
Part Number 465010-0300-0300
Aerospatiale Code 69 4860 0400
I would rather have someone in North America, but…

Ours has an ADR switch that has a loose contact in it, causing the switch to go on/off without input. We cannot even find the part number of the switch, so we cannot do it ourselves.

It is for a Full Flight simulator, not an aircraft.

I'm just out of my time as an apprentice aircraft mechanic (avionics). I'm just waiting now on experience with all the part 66 modules passed for the B1.1 / B2 licenses.

I've been kept on at my company which specializes in 3rd party base maintenance on Boeings. Although I'm grateful for my job, with the recession and all :ok:, I wouldn't mind branching out a bit and seeing some more of the industry and maybe even the world while I'm at it. However, if I'm offered and accept a type course with my current company they'll bond me for 3 years.

Flicking through the aviation job sites there's a lot of heli and biz jet jobs going. Would anyone recommend the jump from the big jets into this sector of the aviation world or has anyone made it?

One more question, for those who get there license while contracting, what is normally their next move, do they self fund a type course and if so who approves them or do they generally have to settle in a permanent job and hope to be offered a course?

Regards,

Can someone tell me which parts use it (parts like the HP/IP/LP compressors/turbines or front fan etc). Also, does anyone know an approximate weight of one?

Thanks, BA 77. ]]> BA 77 http://www.pprune.org/engineers-technicians/396380-jet-engine-gearbox.html
