More 787 Dreamliners headed to Australian Skies ?

Licensed Aircraft maintenance engineers install, maintain and repair aircraft structures, airframes and engines, and aircraft radio, avionic (electronic) and mechanical systems.

As we can see, we are living in a world of exponential change in technology. We need to step out of our linear day-to-day thinking to fully conceive and make use of what we have to shape the future.

If you have the choice , which plane should you choose to get type rating or train on, A350 Vs B787 Dreamliner; which plane is the best?

The two planes which are really revolutionizing air travel are the Boeing 787 and Airbus A350.

Most commercial aircraft are examples of incremental innovations, whereby a new model is simply a refinement of earlier models. This strategy is low-risk and seeks to improve competitiveness on known factors. The Airbus A320 Vs Boeing 737 for example.

The B787 and A350 on the other hand was a departure from previous models and can be described as an example of radical innovation. This form of innovation is about taking risks, challenging assumptions and reinvestigating what customers want.

The Dreamliner was based on a completely different principle – a smaller but still long-range aircraft that would serve point-to-point routes.

The A350 was originally conceived as an upgraded A330, named A330-200Lite, but the airlines were not impressed. Airbus settled for an all new design to counteract Boeing's 787 Dreamliner. Despite criticism, Boeing is optimistic regarding the Dreamliner and importantly, airlines are excited too.

Both the 787 and A350 are revolutionary in terms of the opportunities they’ve opened up for new routes to be economically viable but from employment point of view - Let's look at Who flies Boeing 787 Dreamliners and Airbus A350 XWB aircraft in Australia's skies?

Boeing 787 Dreamliner: Qantas, Jetstar, Etihad Airways, Air New Zealand, United Airlines, Scoot Airlines, Thai Airways, LATAM, Vietnam Airlines, Qatar Airways, Air Canada, Air India

Airbus A350 XWB: Thai Airways, Qatar Airways, Vietnam Airlines, Singapore Airlines.

Technological advances in the airplane inspired similar technological advances in training. This approach puts the trainee as close to the actual airplane as possible. 

There is a need of type training for Licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineers for B787 or A350 in Australia.

Australian aviation is being reshaped with many B787 and A350 flying into Australian Skies but there is no CASA part 147 organisations to facilitate B787 or A350 level 3 training in Australia at this time to bridge the gap between demand and capability.

However, there is a growing demand for CASA part 66 license holder with this endorsement in Australia, Australiasia and worldwide.
