We return to the blog after summer vacations





From now on, every week I will upload a new blog post explaining what I have been doing during the week both in Globalia training and in my day to day. 

In recent weeks I have been a little involved, since I had to move from Menorca with all my things, to install me again in Llucmajor. This past Friday I went back to Menorca to process some papers that I had pending. On Thursday night I took a flight from Palma airport to Menorca. Now that I know quite a lot of aircraft and aviation systems in general, every time I go to the airport I look at many things.I got on an Iberia plane operated by Air nostrum, specifically a CRJ-1000, a plane with two turbine engines that takes about 20 minutes from Palma to Mahón. On Saturday, I was back in Palma, I noticed that there was a plane of the Malaysia Airlines company, specifically an Airbus a380, a giant plane at the Palma Airport. I inform myself about the plane and it is a plane that these days is doing the Palma - London route to take passengers from the Thomas Cook company, since this company has closed. Back to Globalia Formation, we have been teaching theory about airplane structures and how they are manufactured. In the practical classes we have begun to disassemble components of the hydraulic system of airplanes, such as hydraulic pumps, shut-off valves or "skydrol" tanks. 


As a continuation of a practice we had done in the first course, specifically the start up of the APU and the engines, this Monday we had the opportunity to use the Globalia Training simulator used by the Pilots, to start the engines as a real plane. It was a very exciting first contact and I have learned a lot. Now it doesn't seem to me that an airplane has so many buttons since I almost know them all.

Maintenance Technician Course

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...

The ultimate toolbox

Since I was child I always liked to disassemble anything. I consider myself a skillful person with the tools. It has never been difficult for me to assemble an ikea furniture. My first job was at 15 with a motorcycle that my parents gave me, and I dind't have a driving license, I decided to take it apart to fix it. In all the jobs that I have done I have always lacked tools. For this reason we have designed a toolbox that puts at your disposal any tool you may need and some that you think you will never use, but you will end up using it. For this reason we have designed a toolbox that puts at your disposal any tool you may need and some that you think you will never use, but you will end up using it. In the box you will find some tools such as: A universal socket wrench that adapts to any screw automatically. Price: 10,95$ A ratchet wrench that you do not need sockets to use, fits any hex head screw. Price: 18,87$ A screwdriver that already has all the tips integrated ...
