Aircraft Interior Technicians are master craftspeople – no matter what kind of cabin interior you could imagine or invent, they possess all the diverse skills needed to build it. These technicians maintain the quality of aircraft interiors and cabin furnishings, not only for purposes of appearance and ergonomics but also for safety and survival. They are responsible for maintaining oxygen, water, waste, entertainment, emergency systems, and safety and evacuation equipment. They are also responsible for aircraft reconfigurations, and must assess repairs, removals, and reinstallations of everything that has to do with interior components.

An Aircraft Interior Technician can transform a cargo airplane into a passenger aircraft by refitting the interior, or vice versa. They work in aircraft cabins and in the shop, and are familiar with the function, operation, and safety requirements of all aircraft passenger support systems. Tasks may include placards, path lights and emergency lighting. In addition, some Aircraft Interior Technicians may make structural modifications to seats and upholstery, clean and treat fabrics and make repairs to fiberglass. They may also fabricate specialized belts and cargo nets. Experience in electrical systems devoted to in-flight entertainment systems is also valuable. An Aircraft Interior Technician has a new job every day.
