As technology in the aviation industry has advanced, so has the need for todays Aircraft Mechanics to become familiar with new technologies. One such technology is the use of ultrasonic and x-ray inspection to detect flaws in the materials on aircraft. For this question, talk about any experience you have using either x-ray or ultrasonic inspection equipment, and discuss that experience with your interviewer. If you don't have direct experience, make sure to do your research ahead of your interview to be able to talk a bit about the technology and your ability to learn this aspect of the job quickly and efficiently.

"Over the last five years of my career, I've become very familiar with these technologies and have used them in a very hands on way. When I initially trained on the ultrasonic test instrumentation, I gained a quick understanding that it utilizes electric pulses that are converted by a transducer to high frequency energy. When used on an aircraft, the sound waves detect flawed surfaces that the human eye just can't. There have been a number of occasions where I've seen the technology catch significant issues that were able to be repaired in a timely manner."
