Work Center 300

Work Center 300 is the combination of many job specialties assembled to service, maintain, and repair the three HH-1N "HUEY" Helicopters assigned to NAS Lemoore for Search and Rescue purposes. Below, you will find a brief description of each job performed by our highly skilled personnel along with the Naval Rate Insignia assigned to that specialty.

ENGINE MECHANICS (AD): This shop consists of Highly skilled engine mechs with vast experience among them. ADs are usually assigned to jobs concerned with maintaining turbo-prop, turbo-fan, and turbo-shaft engines and associated equipment, or to any one of the several types of aircraft maintenance activities. ADs maintain, service, adjust, and replace aircraft engines and accessories, as well as perform the duties of flight engineer.

AIRFRAMES (AMS)(AMH)(AM): AMs, working with metals, alloys and plastics, maintain and repair aircraft parts such as aircraft stuctures (fuselage, windows, and doors) and also troubleshoot and repair hydraulics, landing gear and flight control systems.

& AVIONICS (AE)&(AT): Aviation Electricians and Aviation Electronics Technicians are normally seperate entities. Due to size of our division, we have combined the two shops to create "Avionics". "Wonder Twin powers, activate!!! AEs maintain, adjust and repair aircraft electrical power generating and converting systems, lighting control and indicating systems, install and maintain wiring, and troubleshoot and repair flight and engine instrumentation systems. ATs test, maintain, and repair radar, radio, and other electronic devices used for rapid comminucations, efficient navigation, controlled landing approaches, detection of and guidance to objectives, and neutralizing enemy equipment and tactics.

AIRCREW SURVIVAL EQUIPMENTMAN (PR): Parachute Riggers in our division are not so concerned with parachutes for personnel, as bailing out of a helo is no option, but in time of disaster, parachutes may be the only means of providing badly needed medicines, goods, or other supplies to isolated victims. PRs must pack and care for parachutes, as well as service, maintain, and repair flight clothing, rubber life rafts, life jackets, oxygen-breathing aparatuses, protective clothing, and air-sea rescue equipment(and some can make a mean tater-tot casserole).
