Syllabus And Curriculum
The Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (AME) program spans three years, combining academic coursework with practical training. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), under the Government of India, serves as the regulatory authority overseeing the module examinations during the academic period. To obtain the AME license, candidates must successfully complete all required Aircraft Maintenance Engineering modules and practical training. While there are a total of 17 modules in the curriculum, the specific modules to be cleared depend on the chosen specialization within the program. The Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Syllabus is meticulously designed to equip students with the technical expertise and practical skills required for maintaining and ensuring the airworthiness of aircraft. The curriculum is divided into structured Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Modules, aligning with standards set by aviation regulatory authorities such as the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).
The syllabus is broadly categorized into two streams: mechanical (airframe and engine) and avionics (electrical, instrument, and radio systems). Core subjects include aerodynamics, propulsion, aircraft systems, aviation regulations, and materials and hardware. Practical training focuses on understanding and handling advanced aircraft systems, engines, and electronics to prepare students for real-world scenarios.
Each Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Module is designed to build expertise in specific areas. For instance, modules on airframe and engines cover topics like hydraulic systems, landing gear, and powerplants, while avionics modules delve into navigation, communication, and electrical systems. In addition to theoretical knowledge, the curriculum emphasizes hands-on training through internships at DGCA-approved Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) facilities. This dual approach ensures students gain comprehensive knowledge and industry-relevant skills, preparing them for a successful career as licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineers in the dynamic aviation industry.
