The mechanic's corner

In this post I will explain my experience during these two years that have led me to start in the world of aircraft maintenance. From the moment I decided to start these studies, away from home until today, 2 years have passed. I decided to study this vocational course because I have always liked airplanes and vehicle maintenance. Upon arriving at the IES Son Pacs, the first day of class they explained, to my classmates and me, the great responsibility that comes with being an airplane mechanic, the difficulty of getting a license and other things that caused some classmates to decide to unsubscribe the first day. All the things that tell you that day you don't have to make yourself nervous. I believe that the first day has nothing to do with what the course is going to deal with, but being an aircraft mechanic carries a great responsibility. What matters in this course is to understand in a general way how airplanes work and the philosophy of aircraft maintenance. All mechanics m

In this post I will talk about how to obtain the title of superior technician in aeromechanical maintenance and how to obtain the license of technician in maintenance of airplanes B1.1 which is the necessary license to be able to sign in the documents of a commercial turbine aircraft. I will explain how to access these studies and what are the advantages of studying at the IES Son Pacs. I have selected some questions that may come to your mind before starting the course and that can help guide you. -How can I access these studies? As it can be accessed in several ways, in each course there are limited places for people who access through the bachillerato degree, other places for people who access by an vocational course of the same family or another family, there are also places for who access with an entrance exam to the university or an entrance exam to a vocational course. -Where do classes take place? During the first course, classes are held every Monday at the IES Son Pac

This week I started studying for the module 9 exam, this module talks about human factors and we have a test type test and development test. In aviation it is very important to know the dangers of working with airplanes, since a failure can lead to a serious accident. We have to know the limitations that humans have and the possible failures we can make. Last weekend I went with my girlfriend to see the correfocs they made in Palma. They are hours throwing fireworks with the dimonis and the drag de na coca. It is an impressive pyrotechnic show. Because we have an exam next week, I have not left home much, but I took the opportunity to make pizzas or a vegetable paella with mushrooms that we went to look for with Guillem a few weeks ago. Here you have some pictures of the pizzas and the vegetable paella. In the Globalia workshop, my group and I have been measuring the angle of a flying surface and we have calculated the weight necessary to perform the balancing and it remains at a c

This week, my in-laws they planned to come a few days to visit Mallorca and be with my girlfriend and me. Due to weather forecasts, they changed the day of arrival and advanced the trip a few days. From what they said on the news, it was going to rain a lot this week and the wind was going to blow very hard. These days we went to eat at two restaurants. The burguer Doze, is a small restaurant in Llucmajor that makes a very good burgers at a good price; or to kiyomi sushi, which is a Japanese food restaurant that has a menu where you can choose everything you want with a fixed price. The sushi is of very good quality and the entrees are very good. My in-laws left to Menorca a day before the storm began. This storm was announced well in advance, as it could cause a lot of damage to coastal areas and flood areas. Finally there have been waves up to 14 meters high and winds of up to 120 kilometers per hour. It has been days of staying at home in the afternoon. In the practice hours in Glob

We are already in a new year, after Christmas holidays we return to normal. It has been a vacation that I have been able to rest and thus be able to start with more desire the new year. This holiday I have been in Menorca with my family, my partner and my friends. The first few days I was sick and had to rest. But a week later I signed up for the course of Sant silvestre that took place in the town of Alaior. It was a very fun course. Here you can see the poster of the competition. These days in Menorca I have gone to many dinners and family meals, and I have eaten everything. I have also gone on foot and motorcycle tours on all the roads of the island.  Before returning to Mallorca, take advantage of the last days to go skiing to Andorra. It is a country that lives very well and the weather is fantastic. Too bad they don't have any airport nearby to be able to live there all year. On the ski slopes my partner and I enjoyed the snow skiing and sunbathing. Back in Mallorca,

This week I took advantage of the good weather to go on a excursion to a couple of places that I had planned to go for a long time. The first excursion we have done this week, has been to visit a small river near Buñola where there is a waterfall called “Salt des Freu”. It is an excursion that does not take long if you are only going to visit the waterfall. My partner and I took less than 20 minutes to get from the car to the waterfall. To get there, the road is a bit narrow and has many curves, but it is not very difficult to get there. The trail that reaches the falls is located on the road from Bunyola to Orient. The trail that goes to the falls reaches Santa Maria del Camino. It is many hours of walking to get to Santa Maria. Here you can see some pictures we took when we reached the waterfall. The second excursion that my partner and I did was to climb the mountain of Randa. The mountain is right next to my house, but we took the car to reach the village of Randa. From there,
