Pilot, First Officer

During the period at the University I attended a training program of six months (from 19/05/97 to 18/11/97) at the technical base of Eurofly, which, at that time, had an air fleet of six McDonnell Douglas airplanes (four MD-83 and two DC-9-51). I had to cooperate with the Continuous Airworthiness; more in detail I was assigned the task of analysing airplanes failures, planning the scheduled maintenances, controlling that the relevant deadlines were respected and the anomalies worked out, optimising the use of the fleet, managing of spare parts in “A.O.G.”.
