Fly Girls' Guide to Aviation Careers
Building Trust Between Pilots and Mechanics: Cassidy Moore
In this episode of the Fly Girls’ Guide Podcast, René sits down with Cassidy Moore, an Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) and Inspection Authorized (IA) mechanic who has spent more than a decade building her career in aircraft maintenance. From general aviation hangars to running her own business, Cassidy shares what it takes to thrive in a demanding field where precision, communication, and accountability are non-negotiable. She opens up about how she found her way into aviation, why she pushes for stronger communication between mechanics and aircraft owners, and the lessons she’s learned about patience and humility along the way.
Tune in as they discuss:
- The training and certification path for A&P mechanics
- Cassidy’s unlikely start in aviation and how she built a 13-year career in maintenance
- Why communication between mechanics and owners can prevent accidents and build confidence
- How logbooks, paperwork, and regulations shape daily life for mechanics
- The importance of patience, humility, and asking for help in a technical career
Cassidy’s story underscores the truth that airplanes don’t fly without mechanics and that aviation careers extend far beyond the cockpit. Her work highlights the technical expertise and meticulous attention to detail that keep aircraft airworthy, but also the human side of the job: communication, patience, and trust. Mechanics aren’t just problem-solvers, they’re educators and partners to pilots and owners.
