What Does an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (AME) Do?
Aircraft Maintenance Engineer maintain, inspect, modify and repair an aircraft’s airframe, engine and avionics. They also perform sheet metal repairs and corrosion removal on an aircraft’s airframe.
About the Programme
The programme is designed to bring students through the fundamental of Aircraft System Design, Human Factors, Maintenance Practices and Aviation Legislation required to became a competent Aircraft Maintenance Engineer.
On successful completion of the programme, participants will be capable of carrying out maintenance Engineer programme is fully approved by EASA
Programme Content (Assessment )
The syllabus and examination standard is outlined in the EASA part 66 regulation. The duration of the training is two years : 50% Theoretical and 50% Practical Training. The Theoretical training programme is divided into 12 modules with a multiple-choice examination at the end of each module.
Year 1: Theoretical Training (21 weeks)
- Mathematics – covers Arithmetic, Algebra and Geometry.
- Physics – includes matter, mechanics thermodynamic, light and sound
- Electrical Fundamental – covers all aspects of basic electrical theory
- Digital Techniques Electronic Instrument System – theory of aircraft instruments
- Materials and Hardware – learn all about materials and hardware used in aircraft
- Maintenance Practices – understand the practices used to safely maintain aircraft to the manufacturer’d data
- Basic Aerodynamic – understand how aircraft fly, composition of the atmosphere, aerodynamics, theory of flight and stability
- Human Factors – understanding the physical and Cognitive ergonomics, and the human interface within aviation maintenance
- Aviation Legislation – an important module that introduces the learner to the complex world of the laws governing aviation
- Aeroplane Aerodynamics Structures and System – in – depth study the structures and system found on turbine aircraft
- Gas Turbine Engine – covers all aspects of turbine engine operation
- Propeller – covers seven chapters including construction and maintenance
Year 2 : Practical Training
This will be spent transferring the knowledge gained in year 1 into practical application conducted in 2 phases
Phase 1 (11 weeks)
The training is delivered in dedicated training workshops where you will gain the hand skills and know how to use the tools and instrumentation required to safely maintain modern jet aircraft. On Successful completion of Phase 1, you can progress to Phase 2.
Phase 2 (6 and ½ week’s practical training plus 1 year’s maintenance experience)
Practical training is conducted in the busy environment of live aircraft maintaenance at aviationgroup. You will be actively involved in actual maintenance activities on Boeing 737, Boening 757 and Boening 767 aircraft carrying out or assisting in such tasks as : engine replacement, cabin refurbishment and structural repair, flight control and landing component replacements and system testing.
You, the trainee, will be working together with experienced engineers who will support you during this phase and bring you to the competency levels expected by industry leaders such as Aviation Group. You will also gain substantial insight of the management of aircraft.
To successfully complete the programme, students must pass all examinations at the required pass mark of 75% . All relevant practical assessment must be successfully completed and meet the minimum attendance requirement of 3,072 hours over the duration of the course, including all hours for each module.
Successful completion of EASA Part 147 approved training programme and one years experience entitle
The student to an EASA Part 66 A1 Aircraft Maintenance Engineer Licence.
This is a full time course consisting of structured theory and practical tuition delivered over 18 months.
Career Progression
This programme is aimed at anyone who wishes to gain the skills and experience that will allow them to perform maintenance work on large commercial aircraft such as Airbus and Boeing . This programme will enable you to become an EASA quailed Aircraft Maintenance Engineer. This is a career with long-term growth possibilities that will allow you to travel all over the world, as EASA approved qualifications are recognized globally
EASA qualified Aircraft Maintenance Engineers are highly sought after due to the high standards of maintenance work and safety they must maintain
There are many career progressions available to EASA AME’s Many of our former trainees have become world leaders in the aviation community, some examples below,
- Vice President & Head of Technical EMEA with AerCap
- Vice President , Technical with Aergo Capital
- Operations Manager with KLM Asia
