Aircraft Maintenance Technician · Founder, Chip Vortex

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Aviation Engineering Technology and am currently completing my SARI ANO 66 B1.1 license, having cleared 8 B1.1 modules to date. My hands-on experience comes from internships and practical training at Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) Kamra, and Sky Wings Flying Academy — where I've worked directly on aircraft systems, troubleshooting, and maintenance procedures, including operations on the Cessna 152. I started Chip Vortex to break down complex aircraft, electronics, and engineering systems the way I wish they'd been explained to me — visually, practically, and without unnecessary jargon.
