"If a Pilot is the Heart of the Aircraft then AME is its Soul."
AME is a job profile with high dignity and a great sense of responsibility. An Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (AME) is basically a person licensed to certify the aircraft or its component for its airworthiness before its release to service. In other words, an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer carries out and certifies overhaul, major repairs of aircraft, power plants, components and accessories thereof before its release to service in accordance with the national & international aviation standards.
All the airlines, maintenance & repair organizations, flying clubs, etc. appoint these AMEs for the certification of their aircraft and its components as per the Government Rules and Regulations. In terms of employment opportunities, 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 the 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 a limited number of seats in the categories B1 (Mechanical) and B2 (Avionics). No AME institute can induct more students than that allotted by DGCA.
Merely completing the AME course will not fetch the student any licence or degree/diploma. However, those AME students who have successfully completed the AME course and passed the AME licence examinations, conducted by DGCA, will be eligible for the appropriate AME licence. Licensed engineers can start working with private/government airlines.
So if you have a dream to build your career as an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer and want to serve the aviation industry as a responsible certifying person, join Institute of Aeronautics & Engineering, Bhopal. As per the DGCA, Govt. of India rule, the institute can admit only 30 students per batch in an academic year, so limited seats are available to fulfil your dream.
