Aircraft Maintenance Engineering

Aircraft Maintenance Engineers (AMEs) serve as the unseen guardians of aviation, ensuring that every flight meets the highest benchmarks of safety, reliability, and performance. Their expertise ensures that aircraft are fit and safe to fly — a role enshrined in Indian law under the Aircraft Act of 1934 and the Aircraft Rules of 1937. These laws mandate that no aircraft can be deemed airworthy without certification from a licensed AME, who must be qualified under DGCA's CAR-66 licensing norms.

Upon successful completion of the AME course, students open doors to diverse career opportunities within India’s fast-growing aviation sector and internationally. Graduates may start their professional journeys as assistant technicians, technicians, or trainee engineers with airlines, Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) organizations, or aircraft manufacturing firms.

At Sha-Shib Aerospace Engineering, students are immersed in the complex world of aircraft systems—ranging from powerful engines to intricate avionics. Through a blend of hands-on experience and advanced technological training, students master the skills of inspection, diagnostics, maintenance, and preventive care, preparing them to uphold the trust placed in aviation professionals worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (AME) is a specialized field of engineering focused on the inspection, repair, maintenance, and troubleshooting of aircraft. Every aircraft in operation worldwide must be maintained according to strict safety and quality standards established by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), a specialized agency of the United Nations. In India, the responsibility for enforcing these global standards falls to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), which operates under the Ministry of Civil Aviation, Government of India.

An Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (AME) is a licensed professional, authorized by a country's aviation regulatory authority in accordance with ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) guidelines. No aircraft is permitted to operate without a Certificate of Release to Service, which must be issued by a suitably qualified and licensed AME. Therefore, AMEs carry the critical responsibility of safeguarding both the aircraft and the lives of everyone on board.

Students who have successfully completed their Class XII examination with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics from a recognized board or university, or those who hold a three-year diploma in Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, or Aeronautical Engineering (or an equivalent qualification), are eligible to apply. Applicants must also meet medical fitness standards. Additionally, foreign nationals must secure clearance from the DGCA before being admitted to the course.

The AME program is officially approved and certified by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), which operates under the Ministry of Civil Aviation, Government of India.

The DGCA serves as the regulatory authority overseeing civil aviation in the country. Additionally, it liaises with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) for all regulatory matters. As the exclusive regulatory body for civil aviation in India, the DGCA’s approval is sufficient, and recognition by bodies such as AICTE, UGC, or NCTE is not required for this course.

Upon completing the course, students have a wide range of career opportunities within both the national and international civil aviation sectors. They can begin their careers as assistant technicians, technicians, or trainee engineers. Opportunities exist with a variety of organizations, including scheduled and non-scheduled airlines, cargo carriers, air charter services, aircraft and component maintenance and repair organizations, flying clubs, state government aviation departments, public sector undertaking (PSU) hangars, and technical publication units, both in India and overseas. Beyond civil aviation, AME graduates are also recruited by foreign aviation companies, defense aviation sectors, aviation IT firms, on-wing maintenance support providers, training institutions, and aircraft manufacturing organizations.
