Diane Aucoin, Airframe Mechanic, Commercial Pilot
Epic Flight Academy - EVB
Professional Bio
I am an Airframe certified A&P candidate currently completing my Powerplant certification at Epic Flight Academy (graduating June 2026), with a background in both flight operations and aviation training.
I have been passionate about aviation since my first discovery flight as a kid, and I went on to earn a Bachelor’s in Aeronautical Science from Embry-Riddle, along with my commercial and instrument ratings (CMEL/CSEL/IR). During my time at Embry-Riddle, I worked as a flight dispatcher and tutor and was involved in organizations including the Flight Line Assimilation Club and Emergency Response Team, which strengthened my attention to detail, teamwork, and safety first mindset.
After working in operations at L3Harris, I realized I wanted to be more hands on with the aircraft itself, which led me to pursue my A&P. Since then, I have developed practical experience within the 147 program which included inspections, sheet metal, composites, electrical troubleshooting and numerous aircraft systems and I quickly realized I really enjoy the technical side of the work.
I am now looking to start my career as an A&P mechanic, where I can keep learning and contribute to safe, reliable aircraft maintenance.
