As a kid, everyone is fascinated by looking at an airplane. Moreover, some even decide to become a pilot, but not everyone who loves aircraft wants to become a pilot. Some long to become a doctor of aircraft, who is known as Aircraft Maintenance Engineer. Some want to become aircraft doctors that are aircraft maintenance engineering. Aircraft Maintenance Engineering is a degree as well as a licensed course.

License Course : Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (EASA)

Degree Course: BSc in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering 

Other Degree Course related to Aviation Engineering:

• BSc in Aeronautics Engineering 
• BSc in Mechanical Engineering 
• BSc in Electrical Engineering 
• BSc in Mechatronics Engineering
• BSc in Industrial Engineering

BSc in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering 

BSc in AME is offered by GUST. This is a 3-year degree course. In this course, the students will get the knowledge about aircraft and its parts such as engine, landing gear, instrumental system, fuselage, electrical system, radio, and navigation system, and many more. However, at the GUST, BSc in Mechanical Engineering, Aeronautics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering and/or Industrial Engineering programs at GUST will do the bridging phase to qualify graduates to get AME (EASA) Licenses with minimum time & costs. 

Aircraft Maintenance Engineering License (EASA)

AME License (EASA) course is related to the maintenance and repair of aircraft. The candidate requires a lot of passion and skills to do the AME EASA Course. EASA is the European Aviation Safety Agency that deals with the rules and regulation of civil aviation. Aircraft Maintenance Engineer allows to repairs, maintain, the solve problem, conduct inspections, and make upgrades to aircraft. No aircraft can take off without approval from a licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineer.

Aircraft Maintenance Engineer has to ensure the airworthy condition of an aircraft. AME has excellent career opportunities ahead as aircraft passengers are rising very frequently. This is the phenomenon time for the student who desires to make their careers in aviation.

After clearing the modules and practical training, the license will be issued by EASA and then the candidate can work in the private or government aviation sector in Europe and as well as Abroad.

Eligibility Of Licensed Course:

• • Candidates must have qualified for their 12th board examination with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM) in any board for AME
  • The applicants must have qualified for their 10th examination with any board for AME (EASA).
  • Candidates must have secured a minimum of 45% marks in their 12th board examination.
  • The age of the candidate should be between 16 to 28.
  • Candidates must not have any physical disability.

Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Career Opportunities

• Airlines:- Airlines are company that provide air transport for the passenger’s to travel. Before an aircraft fly, a Licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineer has to analyze and solve the problems of aircrafts. After signing Flight Releasing Certificate (FRC) an aircraft can fly.
• Maintenance, Repair and Overhauls (MRO) industries:- MRO companies are those companies which specialize in performing maintenance actions on aircraft and their components such as jet engines, landing gears, etc. To maintain the actions licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineer are required.
• Aircraft Manufacturing Companies:- Aircraft Manufacturing Companies deals in the manufacturing of aircrafts such as Boeing, Airbus, etc. For maintaining and operating engines, electronics system etc Aircraft Maintenance Engineer are hired.
• Aircraft Part Manufacturing Companies:- Aircraft are made up of numerous parts. To manufacture those parts Aircraft Part Manufacturing Companies have builds. Aircraft Maintenance Engineer can analyze those parts and help them to build better one.
• Aircraft Operation Organizations:- EASA, ICAO etc are the Aircraft Operation Organization. There organization deals with safety and security of civil aviation. When it’s about Safety in aircraft, Aircraft Maintenance Engineer is the first name that came out.
• Aviation Training Centers- There are Aircraft Maintenance Engineer who tells other candidate about the Aircraft Maintenance Engineering and its scope.
• Flying Clubs:- A flying club is an organization that provides its members with affordable access to aircraft. That aircraft need to be maintenance which is done by licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineers.
• Civil Defense Forces:- There are many aircrafts which defense use for various purposes to protect the country. Defense is also maintenance by licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineer.
• And any place where an aircraft is used in Civil:- Wherever aircrafts are used they require to be maintained by authorized Aircraft Maintenance Engineer.
