2016 AMT Next Gen Award: Cory Peremsky
Cory Peremsky is 27 years old and still new in the field of aircraft maintenance with about four years of aviation experience. Peremsky is a structures technician at Bombardier Commercial Service Center in Tucson, AZ. He attended Pima Community College Aviation Technology Program in Tucson. AZ, where he obtained his A&P certificate in the AAS program. He also attended the Advanced Structural Repair (AAS) program. He is CRJ Taxi Qualified, CRJ Engine Run Qualified, and recently acquired his delegated inspector certification from Bombardier.
Peremsky wanted to do something different that involved working technically with his hands as well requiring specialized knowledge and skill sets. He says, "Overall, aviation is an interesting ever-changing career field." His mentor was his brother-in-law, David Raymond who has many years of experience in the field as well as being a professor at the aviation school program he attended. Peremsky says, "he was a huge help and I likely wouldn't have made the move to aviation without his guidance."
During his last period of A&P school he worked for BRAND aviation services at local airports on various general aviation aircraft, until his employment at Bombardier started full time shortly after obtaining his A&P certification. As a structures technician with his A&P, Peremsky feels he's been given the chance to perform many different types of tasks from working on flight controls and landing gear to doing fairly complicated structural repairs. He says, "I recently obtained my delegated inspection rating so I am also learning more about the quality assurance side of the industry. Troubleshooting is a passion of mine that comes from really enjoying my work and showing it through my actions."
Peremsky attends as many industry meetings and events as possible from organizations like AOPA, EAA, and the FAA Safety Team. As for his career goals, Peremsky says first he sets high standards of quality and safety for himself and the company he works for, and plans to expand his knowledge to newer generation aircraft such as the Bombardier C-Series and is currently looking forward to obtaining his FAA Inspection Authorization.
