Engineers Require De-Icing at Waikato Network Evening

Engineers Require De-Icing at Waikato Network Evening.

A hardy group of attendees braved a bracingly cold Waikato evening in June to find out how maintenance operates in the aviation industry with a MESNZ Network Evening at Aeromotive in Hamilton.

In a well set up evening, tour groups toured through propeller shop, avionics, calibration and the aircraft hanger, viewing everything from the impact of ducks on propellers (and vice-versa), the new diesel powered Silentium aircraft engine and avionics upgrades.

Steve Burrows and his team provided a unique opportunity to lift the hood on an industry not often seen by engineers and this was greatly appreciated by the attendees, who all learnt a great deal from the evening.

The Maintenance Engineering Society is active across New Zealand, providing opportunities for maintenance engineers and manufacturing operations to network and share innovations and experiences; both at a national level at their annual conference or at these regional events. The next Auckland, Waikato and Christchurch region network evenings can be found at http://www.mesnz.org.nz/activities/network-evenings/. The 2015 SKF National Maintenance Engineering Conference will be held at the Claudelands Showgrounds Hamilton in November.
