1. What is AME?
Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (AME) is a high profile career with high dignity and responsibility. AME is responsible for safety, security and maintenance of an aircraft. Aircraft Maintenance Engineers are specially trained to carryout complex maintenance process including periodical maintenance programs as per the Aircraft manufactures requirements and issue Flight Release Certificate for safety before take off the flight. To carry out this maintenance process and issue Flight Release Certificate an individual has to undergo 3 years of approved training program in approved institution and obtain an Aircraft Maintenance Engineers License from Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), Ministry of Civil Aviation, Government of India.
Safety is very important issue, when it comes to aviation sector. An aircraft is made of numerous parts, engines, electrical and electronic systems etc. With time and use, parts tend to wear and tear down, thus regular inspection and maintenance of aircraft have become very necessary. Aircraft Maintenance Engineering professionals are trained to inspect an aircraft, diagnose problems, report the problems found and finally solve them.
Before a flight takes off, AME professionals work hard and make sure that each and every system available in the aircraft is in working condition. They ensure that the safety standards are being followed and the aircraft is flight worthy. In short, AME professionals play a very crucial role in the smooth functioning of aviation sector.
To become an AME professional, one must possess a maintenance engineer license issued by the DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation). To obtain this license, one must successfully go through the AME training from a DGCA approved institute. AME training course is divided in 6 semesters.
AME training course is divided into two main streams
- Mechanical Stream
- Aeroplane & Power Plant
- Helicopter & Power Plant
- Avionics Stream
