This is a little different. I lead worship at a Motor Racing Outreach Association conference. Our focus was finding a Timothy to carry on our Chaplain ministry that God has given us when we are unable to continue or pass away. Here are some of the take aways from the conference w/ passages from Psalms, Isaiah and Timothy.

Mechanical engineer turned quantitative analyst turned data scientist Dan Buttera joins today to weigh in on shifting from industry to industry while building up a useful skillset in tech and management. He brings some fresh perspective to the ongoing discussion of fitting in, finding where you can be effective, and the value of putting in reps to establish your knowledge base and credibility. Also, guitars and the unique oddness of greater Washington, DC.

3m 16s Establishing a baseline for “desire to solve interesting problems,” and the often forgotten/hidden world of maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO).

7m 20s The core problems of e-commerce and recommendations. How they are getting solved with novel tools. How the tools apply very broadly to a lot of other interesting problems.

13m 49s Teasing the heavy technical stuff.

16m 20s Heuristics (reasoning on basic rules) versus algorithms (logic built on large complex models)

18m 20s “The problems are really hard”

26m 0s Who asks for data science and how does it move up and down the chain of command?

33m 37s When it becomes apparent that your day-to-day work is an actual, real, direct input to global geopolitics.

40m 33s Practicing (data) scientists and R&D vs commercial projects.

44m 29s Practicing for Bozo the Clown.

The aviation aftermarket has seen some big mergers recently, such as Heico’s purchase of Wencor. Aviation Week editors discuss why M&A is picking up and the outlook for more deals.

Have you ever heard of a medical review officer, also known as an MRO? Chances are this may be new to you! This little-known nonclinical role could be a good fit if you’re looking for flexible work with a great work-life balance, and like detective work.  My guest today, Dr. Erin Blackburn, is a pediatrician who now works as a medical review officer evaluating employee drug tests and processes. She’ll share how she discovered this line of work, what a typical day is like, and how you can get started in the field.

3D printing for repair and replacement is an underappreciated but potentially very valuable application for this technology. The ability to add material only where necessary and to do so in an automated fashion allows worn surfaces to be rebuilt with less human labor, keeping items such as aircraft blades in service for longer. Additive manufacturing offers an avenue for manufacturing parts no longer in inventory or production, by skipping over tooling to arrive more quickly (and often, more affordably) at the needed component — it be a brush mat, bearing housing, mixer blade, clamp or tractor tread. But a 3D printed replacement part is rarely a 1-to-1 swap; changing to this production method almost always introduces additional benefits. In this episode of AM Radio, Pete Zelinski and I discuss these examples and more, plus why a 3D printed replacement is almost always an upgrade. 

Welcome to Ep 25 of Radwell Automation Nation. 

In this episode, we are going to get a bit more personal. I want to share with you a bit about Radwell International. 

We provide a lot of products, services and resources to many companies in just about any industry there is. For those who don’t know much about us or what we do, it can get confusing. 

Normally this podcast isn’t a platform we use as an advertising tool because that is not what it’s about. But we recently produced a new About Us video, outlining who we are and what we do. Since I know that everyone does not watch videos, I decided to take this opportunity to share some of that video with our listeners in audio form. So here we are and let’s get started.

In April, aerospace composite business and MRO provider Quickstep signed a pioneering $30 million long-term maintenance contract with Jetstar.

It was hugely significant for our industry because it was the first time a deal of this nature had been awarded to a local, independent MRO provider after an extensive global tendering process.

In this special episode of the Australian Aviation Podcast, the business’ executive general manager of aftermarket services, Tim Gent, talks about the deal’s importance.

He also chats with host Adam Thorn about how the country competes to secure global deals, how to fix engineering skill shortages and Quickstep’s investment in unmanned aircraft.

Mick Adams, CEO of STS Aviation Services, is being presented with Aviation Week’s Lifetime Achievement Award in MRO at MRO Americas 2022 this week.

Adams, whose resume includes leadership roles at Monarch Aircraft Engineering and Etihad Airways Engineering, reflects on his career in MRO in conversation with James Pozzi, MRO EMEA editor.

Aviation Week’s editorial team previews the upcoming MRO Americas 2022 event, highlighting trends they are expecting to see at the show as well as what’s new.

While COVID has generated headlines for grounding commercial airlines, it’s also forced those in the MRO sector to quickly innovate to keep their clients airborne.

In this special episode of the Australian Aviation Podcast, host Adam Thorn speaks to the CEO of Salus Aviation, Greg Edmonds. He talks about the group’s New Zealand owned and operated business Oceania Aviation, which offers nose-to-tail MRO support for rotary and fixed-wing operators.

The pair discuss the challenges of the past year, closed borders, expanding across the Tasman, and sourcing the best talent globally.  

Plus, with hybrid aircraft and eVTOLS on the brink of breaking through, what’s next for the industry as a whole?
