Aircraft Mechanics must be masters of their trade in all aspects of the mechanics of a working aircraft, and with this mastery comes the need to be very handy with the tools of the trade. This is an open-ended question that allows you to talk about what you feel is the most important tool of the trade. As you prepare for this question, make sure that your answer directly relates to the duties you will be performing in this role and, if possible, try to point out a unique skill that you have with the tool that you decide to talk about. This will help potentially distinguish you from other mechanics that are interviewing for the job.

"I would consider my vibration meter that I work with to be the most important tool in my bag in my current job. As me and my team work on any part of an aircraft, the final reliability tests weigh heavily on the vibration analysis of the aircraft to ensure the safety of the passengers and our crew in the air. I have great working knowledge of how and when to conduct vibrations tests to gather data and how to react to an aircraft that is experiencing too much vibration."
