What a aircraft assembler does
Aircraft assemblers use hand tools, power tools and other equipment such as CNC machines or robots to construct, fit and install prefabricated parts to manufacture fixed or rotary wing aircrafts and aircraft subassemblies such as flight controls, aircraft skins, rigging and other mechanical systems. They read and interpret blueprints. They operate control systems to determine functional performance of the assemblies and adjust accordingly.
