Aircraft Maintenance Technology - 57

Adeeba Ghazal, 31, Aircraft Maintenance Engineer, Shaheen Air, Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan

A

deeba Ghazal is mechanically inclined by her own admission, meaning it would only make sense for her to find her
way into aviation.
Since 2017, Ghazal has worked as an aircraft maintenance
engineer at Shaheen Air International. Her responsibilities include
line maintenance certification of for the Airbus A319,A320, and
A330 including arrival, departure daily checks, transit and weekly
checks; certifying A319/A320 fitted with V2500 engines up to
Check -A with defect rectification along with the documentation; troubleshooting on all airframe, hydraulic and engine areas;
evaluation of problems and providing their solution; certification
and supervision of Engines, thrust reversers and the different
components removal/ installation; scheduled and unscheduled
maintenance task card completion; and FAN TRIM balancing of
A320 and A330.
She received her training by completing three years of apprenticeship aerospace from ATS-TI (Aviation Tech Services Training
Institute in 2010), along with a BS in physics from the university
of Karachi. And she now holds type certification of A320 family
series and A330 family and MBA Aviation management, as well
as having cleared all EASA modules as well.
"I have been affiliated with Adeeba for many years now as
she was my senior during our apprenticeship, and I continue to

marvel at her continued contributions to the
role of female maintenance engineers," said
Fatima Najeeb Khan, program director at the
University of Management and Technology in
Lehore, Pakistan, when nominating Ghazal.
"Adeeba has become a motivation for all the
young girls. Her steadfastness and her willingness to work regardless of conditions
makes her a strong individual."
In 2018, Ghazal initiated the Pakistani chapter of the
Association for Women in Aviation Maintenance, and belongs
to the Women in Aviation International, the Royal Aeronautical
and Engineering Society, the International Aviation Women's
Association and the International Society of Air Safety
Investigators.
For the future, Ghazal says: "I want to pursue my studies
further and would love to get a PhD in aviation maintenance. I
want to break the shackles of stereotype and by my example I
want to motivate and encourage all females towards aviation and
careers in STEM fields. No field is gender specific, be it aircraft
maintenance or being an astronaut, girls can become whatever
they wish to! First you need clarity of what do you want, then
you have to be focused to achieve that."
