Introduction Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (AME) is a specialized field focused on maintaining, repairing, and overhauling aircraft to ensure safety and efficiency. AMEs perform regular inspections, diagnose issues, and conduct routine maintenance, adhering to strict aviation safety regulations set by authorities like the FAA and EASA. They follow detailed technical manuals and keep precise records of all work performed. Certification is required, involving rigorous training and exams. AMEs may specialize in specific aircraft types or systems, working in various environments, including hangars and airfields, often under diverse conditions to ensure aircraft are operational and safe. 2024
Regulatory bodies in India(AME) DIRECTORATE GENERAL OF CIVIL AVIATION (DGCA): THE DGCA IS THE PRIMARY REGULATORY BODY OVERSEEING CIVIL AVIATION IN INDIA, INCLUDING THE LICENSING AND REGULATION OF AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE ENGINEERS (AMES).
