What is the main function of the Hydraulics/Pneumatics Branch?

The primary function of the Hydraulics/Pneumatics Branch focuses on the repair and maintenance of hydraulic and pneumatic systems. These systems are crucial components within various aviation platforms as they control essential functions like landing gear deployment, flight control surfaces, and other mechanisms that rely on fluid power.

Repairing these systems involves diagnosing issues, replacing or repairing components, and conducting tests to ensure proper operation. By ensuring that hydraulic and pneumatic systems are functioning correctly, this branch plays a critical role in maintaining the overall safety and performance of aircraft.

While other branches may involve activities like providing electrical systems support, conducting inspections, or managing logistics, their roles are distinct and do not encompass the specific technical focus on hydraulics and pneumatics that defines the core responsibilities of this branch.
