  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • I am currently in a role where I am looking at concessions on aircraft components. this is where a component does not meet the requirements of the customer and needs to be reported. This could be a surface profile or hole position tolernce. The component is then sent to an MRB (Material Review Board) where a group of engineers decide if the component is scrap/re-work/ship to customer.
