Monday the October 29th - November 2nd, I have the privilege of navigating MAF's Maintenance Technical Evaluation or TE for short. This TE will be used to evaluate my mechanical skills and knowledge which will help with the final decisions for our placement. At the end of the week we will also be meeting with the candidate committee. Meeting with the candidate committee will allow them to start to formulate where we as a family would best fit as far as placement goes. These past couple months of working here as an intern has been very helpful as I have gained experience and a familiarity which I think will help with the nerves if nothing else.
Speaking of which these past couple weeks I have also had the privilege of moving over to the training hanger where the 3 training C206's are kept. I've been involved in a couple routine inspections which has been a welcomed change of pace. The first inspection went well, and the aircraft has flown a couple times and returned safely. Which brings a sigh of relief to this new mechanic. The second inspection should be wrapped up tomorrow and it's return to service flight should be soon to follow.

After the TE is complete I will return to working in the hanger most likely I will rejoin the crew that is working on the C172 restorations. We will be remaining here in Nampa until December 14th ish. We will be back in AB from December 15th through first week of Jan. We will be sharing an update at the following Churches:
