00:06.380 --> 00:08.580
- Hi, my name is AT2 Austin Clark,

00:08.580 --> 00:10.080
and I'm an Aviation
Electronics Technician,

00:10.080 --> 00:11.570
here at USS Iwo Jima.

00:11.570 --> 00:12.810
So, I work in a Cal Lab,

00:12.810 --> 00:14.770
and basically, what calibrations is

00:14.770 --> 00:17.580
is it's verifying your
4:1 test accuracy ratio,

00:17.580 --> 00:19.170
which means that my known standard

00:19.170 --> 00:21.903
is four times more accurate
than your test would permit.

00:23.040 --> 00:25.130
We calibrate multiple
things across the ship,

00:25.130 --> 00:26.470
spanning through multiple divisions.

00:26.470 --> 00:29.200
We do calibrations both in
and outside of the shop.

00:29.200 --> 00:30.080
A couple things we do

00:30.080 --> 00:32.303
are universal counters
and pressure gauges.

00:33.860 --> 00:35.080
Universal counters, for example,

00:35.080 --> 00:37.150
we input a known frequency,

00:37.150 --> 00:40.010
and verify that that
frequency is 1/4 as accurate

00:40.010 --> 00:41.540
on the universal counter

00:41.540 --> 00:42.963
than it is our standard.

00:44.060 --> 00:46.010
If test equipment is not
within specifications

00:46.010 --> 00:47.090
or working properly,

00:47.090 --> 00:49.130
we break it down, and
take troubleshooting steps

00:49.130 --> 00:50.030
to find the issue.

00:51.800 --> 00:53.240
Another part of my job is,

00:53.240 --> 00:55.893
I give training to the cal
peers from other divisions.

00:57.440 --> 00:58.870
And that's just a couple
of things we do here,

00:58.870 --> 01:00.358
at USS Iwo Jima.

01:00.358 --> 01:03.858
