Aircraft Maintenance Engineer

Becoming an aircraft maintenance engineer typically involves a combination of education, training, and certification. 

Candidates can check the steps below to become an aircraft maintenance engineer: 

• Complete High School: Focus on mathematics, physics, and engineering subjects.

• Enrol in a Specialized Program: Pursue a Diploma or degree in aircraft maintenance engineering from a technical school or community college.

• Gain Practical Experience: Participate in internships or apprenticeships to acquire hands-on skills.

• Obtain Certification: Get certified by relevant aviation authorities (e.g., FAA in the U.S., DGCA in India).

• Stay Updated: Engage in continuous education and training to keep up with industry advancements.

To prepare students to work as qualified aviation maintenance engineers, universities offer the Aircraft Maintenance Engg. The course normally includes both theoretical and practical instruction, covering subjects including aviation rules, maintenance practices, and aircraft systems.

After completing Aircraft Maintenance Engg, which typically lasts 2400 hours, graduates will be prepared to pass the DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation), Government of India licencing exam and become certified AMEs. The goal of Aircraft Maintenance engineering is to give students the information and abilities needed to maintain, repair, and overhaul aircraft as well as to make sure that they are safe and airworthy.

Hello Md Rakib Islam, aircraft maintenance engineering course is actually a misnomer and the student gets a degree of BSc and not BE or BTech. Definitely you can think of doing aeronautical engineering course which will be another 4 years of studies for you. Presently in India there are lots and lots of opportunities for getting a job after the course that you have done. I am saying this because as per the reports, different airlines in India are going to procure close to 1000 aeroplanes in future years. This will require a large number of trained manpower like the training that you have obtained. On the other hand in India, at least for the moment, opportunities for employment in the aerospace sector are quite minimum. Government of India has opened the space sector for private participation and as a result the employment opportunities in this sector are also increasing by leaps and bounds. As a result of this it can be safely concluded that by the time you complete your graduation in engineering in 4 years time there will be enough opportunities for you in getting a gainful employment. You can begin by finding out from the Shiksha portal asked the different colleges offering this branch of engineering and what type of exams you may be required to give for getting admission in these colleges. 

Best wishes to you.
