Seat (ACES II) and Martin Baker Mk16 Seat, which typically involve many
components and assemblies with rigid specifications and close tolerances.
Performed interpretation or adjustment due to the presence of special instrumentation
or modifications not addressed in standard technical data. Inspection
techniques include visual inspection in addition to several methods of
measurement by various tools and instruments, some of which are specifically
designed for egress systems maintenance. Utilized appropriate technical data
and personnel protective equipment in the performance of maintenance duties.
Installed proper protective equipment and safety devices as required when

Performed required servicing of egress systems and subsystems, and operator
maintenance and servicing of related AGE. Experience in the inspection of
explosive ordnance components associated with egress systems to include
initiators, thrusters, detonation and transfer lines, and associated hardware.
Inspected for proper installation or positioning of safety pins, initiators,
initiator simulators, and disarming mechanisms prior to removal, installation,
replacement, adjustment or service life of affected components. Also inspected
for restrictions, proper routing, and security of connectors, fittings, and
