Are you willing to fly on the plane you maintained and inspected? Tony Janco, retired FAA safety inspector and former aviation mechanic, poses this question to anyone interested in entering the field as it highlights the importance and pressures of being the final barrier between ground and flight. 

In this compelling conversation spanning Janco’s 45-year career in aircraft inspections, maintenance and policy, he illustrates the passion and precision required in the field and the small margin for human error when performing heavy checks on an aircraft before takeoff. Learn about the importance of aircraft instruments, the dangers of get-home-itis and the tricky things that can happen midflight that impact getting back on the ground safely.
