What type of repairs would be handled by the SE STRUCTURAL/HYDRAULIC BRANCH?

The SE STRUCTURAL/HYDRAULIC BRANCH is specifically responsible for repairs that involve hydraulic systems and structural components of aircraft. This includes assessing and fixing any issues related to the structural integrity of the airframe, as well as handling the hydraulic systems that play a critical role in the operation of various aircraft systems, such as landing gear, flight controls, and other crucial elements that require hydraulic pressure to function properly.

Understanding the roles of different branches is key; while aerodynamic components, fuel systems, and avionics systems are important, they fall under the purview of different specialized maintenance teams. The structural aspects directly relate to the physical framework of the aircraft, and hydraulic systems are essential for many operational functions. Therefore, the combination of these two areas defines the primary focus of the SE STRUCTURAL/HYDRAULIC BRANCH.
