Aviation Machinist Mate Study Guide
PENSACOLA, Fla. (NNS) - The Center for Naval Air Technical Training (CNATT), on board Naval Air Station Pensacola, announced Dec. 22 the release of new Personnel Qualification Standards (PQS). The updated PQS are for Apprentice Support Equipment Technician (Afloat), Journeyman Support Equipment Technician (Afloat), Aviation Machinist's Mate Journeyman T700-GE-401/401C Engine Technician, and Aviation Electrician's Mate Journeyman Automatic Flight Control System Technician. A PQS is a compilation of the minimum knowledge and skills that an individual must demonstrate in order to qualify to stand watches or perform other specific routine duties necessary for the safety, security or proper operation of a ship, aircraft or support system. 'The updated PQS reflect our continuing effort to ensure AD's, AE's and AS' will be successful in the fleet,' said Senior Chief Aviation Boatswain's Mate (Aircraft Handling) Joffrey Villacruz, CNATT's PQS Manager. 'As the need, equipment, and ratings change we will continue to amend PQS to help our mechanics and technicians stay current and relevant.'
The electronic-only versions of the PQS booklets are available on Navy Knowledge Online (NKO) via the Navy PQS link found on the Quick Links tab on the left side of the main NKO page. From the Navy PQS page, Sailors should follow the PQS 43400 Series link on the left side.
