Then do the same for the hydraulics and all of the others. If I could visualize the system, I could "get it". Dazzle them with your knowledge of the systems. Good Luck....
Agreed! Also - I spend a lot of time talking to the maintainers and asking questions about how things work. It really helps me seeing the parts. This will certainly be a big challenge and I look forward to it!
