Tech/Engineering - Aerospace / Aviation / Space / Maintenance, repair
German term or phrase: Wart
What could a "Wart" be in the context of aircraft maintenance & repair (at an EASA Part 145 Maintenance Organization)? I doubt it could be a warden, which is the only semi-plausible literal translation I can find.

(aircraft) maintenance engineer
Explanation:
As stated in the dicussion section (see above), EASA uses the terms aircraft maintenance engineer, technician and mechanic. So, in this particular case, the word maintenance should be included.

Explanation:
Der Flugzeugwart ist als Teil der Wartungsstaffel für die generelle Wartung und kleinere Reparaturen am Flugzeug zuständig. Größere Reparaturen werden dann z.B. vom Triebwerker als Teil der Instandsetzungsstaffel durchgeführt.
Vielleicht hilft ja folgende Seite weiter http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos179.htm
