Maintenance technician?


We're looking for the name of a role, and not a description of it. Furthermore, it is a very limited role, specific to a single aircraft.

The three-syllable name "repairman" that has been with that role for half a century seems pretty close, and I think that "repairer" pretty much addresses the reasonable concerns without throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
