Aircraft Manufacturing and Maintenance Engineering

About Course

Aircraft Manufacturing and Maintenance is a branch of Aeronautical Engineering. This particular field of engineering deals with the design, construction, development, testing, revamps, inspection and everything related to the manufacturing and maintenance of an aircraft or its components.

The task of an Aircraft Manufacturing Engineer is to design and construct the aircraft and that of the Aircraft Maintenance Engineer is to control, maintain and repair of the specific parts of the aircraft or the entire aircraft. The course imparts training for servicing and maintenance of the aircraft to ensure safety. 

After the completion of the course, you can also appear for Associate Membership of Aeronautical Society of India (AMAeSI). The qualified students are also considered eligible for M.Tech Applications of IITs, Birla Institute of Technology Ranchi and Madras Institute of Technology.

Core Subjects –There are basically two streams of Aircraft Manufacturing and Maintenance Engineering, which are as follows:

• Mechanical – It covers the jet and piston engines along with light and heavy aircrafts.
• Avionics – It covers the radio navigation, electrical and instrument systems.

The Aircraft Manufacturing and Maintenance Engineering is not exactly a degree but a license course approved by Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). The institutes which are approved by DGCA can provide this training course. After the completion of course, DGCA conducts a license exam. If you are able to successfully clear the license exam, you will receive the certificate of Basic Aircraft Maintenance Engineer Certificate (BAMEC).
