Students at Southwest Tech got a hands-on lesson in one of aviation’s most important safety systems this week as Aviation Maintenance Technology instructor Larry Grimes led a class on aircraft ice and rain control systems.
The session focused on the use and maintenance of pneumatic de-icer boots—flexible rubber coverings installed on aircraft wings and tail surfaces that expand and contract to break away accumulated ice during flight. Icing is a major hazard in aviation, adding weight and disrupting the smooth flow of air over the wings. For aircraft mechanics, understanding how to properly inspect, maintain, and troubleshoot these systems is a vital skill.

In construction students are starting our toolbox project, turning raw lumber into something useful they will actually get to keep and use. They will measure, cut, and assemble each piece, putting our skills with saws, hammers, and drills to the test. By the end, they practice accuracy and craftsmanship—students have a tough, handmade toolbox to carry our gear, built by our own hands. 🙂↕️
