As you look to interview for an Aircraft Mechanic role with a large airline, you can certainly expect some technical questions like this to pop up. Whether you have the direct experience working with an IDG or not, your interviewer will at least be looking to hear that you are familiar with the fact that they are used on large commercial airplanes to help supply electrical power. They'll also look to hear that you have knowledge of the IDG's requirements for maintenance on the oil within the system as a regular part of the work that you'll perform. If you do have direct experience, be sure to talk about that as you answer this question.

"Yes, I have performed maintenance on IDG's in commercial airplanes. In my current role, it is a standard procedure to check the oil level during any service. I'm very familiar with the different styles of oil level sight glass that can be found on the different IDG units. I also have performed oil servicing maintenance on IDG's after filters have been replaced and after replacement of other components within the system."
