Under Part 66, B2 (avionic) engineers shouldn't be going anywhere near engine systems wiring.
That's what scares me.
Apart from engines, the B1s are also responsible for fuel tank wiring. Remind me what SSFR88 is really all about. ?
The ingrained safety consciousness of LAEs is given, we all have good intentions and safety is on all our minds at all times, but is it fair to expect people to start covering a complicated specialisation without suitable training? Compare the size of the SWPM with the SRM and you will get an idea of what I mean. Wiring isn't the "electric string" that A & Cs used to dismiss with contempt. If you don't pay attention to it, wiring faults will bring an aircraft down just the same as any other critical failure.
