In terms of employment opportunities, the aircraft maintenance engineering is probably the most promising in the aviation sector.
"The duty of an AME is to ensure that the Aircraft is in a fit to fly condition before it takes off the ground. As per the rules laid down by the govt. of India". No aircraft can take off without the certification from qualified Maintenance Engineers. To become an AME one has to undergo AME course from a DGCA approved Institute. These recognized institutes teach the approved syllabus of DGCA & conduct internal examinations for completion of the course. All AME institutes are allotted limited no. of seats in the categories B1.1(Mechanical), B1.3(Helicopter) and B2(Avionics). No AME institutes can induct more students than that allotted by DGCA. Aspiring Aircraft Maintenance Engineers who have obtained the licence can start working with private/ government airlines. So, one who has those goals in mind to become part of the challenging aviation industry, can join AME course & explore the world of his/her dreams.
