Career in Aircraft maintenance

World-wide, the business of aircraft maintenance is big, and is about to expand. The approximate variety of aeroplanes currently in service world-wide is around five hundred,000 passenger and cargo aircraft and regarding four million smaller non-public aircraft used for business or pleasure. 

 India is one among the fastest developing countries within the world. attributable to the liberalisation policies of the govt, there's tremendous growth in civil aviation. several non-public airlines and companies viz., Air India, Indian Airlines, Jet Airways, Air Sahara and Air Deccan are operating nowadays with excellent operating revenues. to satisfy the growing would like of the passenger airlines, cargo aircrafts, non-public air taxi operators, business and company jets, there exists an urgent would like for aircraft maintenance engineers. 

 The aviation business has 2 main branches: flying branch and maintenance branch. whereas pilots fly the aircraft, aircraft maintenance engineers are involved with the upkeep of the aircraft. An aircraft maintenance engineer should get a licence from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). 

 An aircraft maintenance engineer is liable for the management, maintenance and repair of specialized aircraft instrumentation and connected elements of the aircraft. They additionally learn to line engine controls and to check for his or her correct functioning. They play a significant role among the upkeep personnel to stay the aircraft 'airworthy' the least bit times. the upkeep of recent subtle aircrafts needs high degree of technical data, competence, proficiency, dexterity and integrity on a part of the involved personnel. Aircraft engineers analysis, design, manufacture and maintain aircraft. They work on any and each mechanical facet of the craft, together with airframes, hydraulics and pneumatics, engines and fuel systems and management and communications systems. 

 Engineers are concerned within the following stages of aircraft production and manufacture: the planning of latest product like parts or entire engines; the manufacture and assembly of aircraft parts; analysis into solutions for complicated engineering problems; maintenance of the finished craft to make sure safety and operational standing. 

 A course in aircraft maintenance engineering isn't a degree however a licence course and solely those institutes approved by the DGCA will impart coaching during this subject. The minimum eligibility criterion for obtaining admission into anybody of the institutes is 10+2 or equivalent with physics, chemistry and arithmetic. 

 coaching is imparted for servicing and maintenance of aircraft to make sure one hundred per cent flight safety. once finishing the course and spending the interior exam, you have got to clear the licensing exam conducted by the DGCA. 

 Remuneration during this field is extremely enticing. In Indian Airlines, Air India, Pawan Hans and alternative non-public airlines, engineers get a beginning gross salary of regarding twenty five,000 to 40,000 pm which fits up to one.20 lakh, whereas the whole coaching value is simply around one.25 lakh. 

 the main sorts of specialised courses in AME are: lightweight airframe, significant airframe, jet engine, radio navigation, electrical system, instrument system, piston engine and significant aeroplane. 

 On completion of coaching you may get a Basic Aircraft Maintenance Engineer Certificate (BAMEC) from the DGCA which is able to cause you to eligible for employment within the aviation business. 

 a number of the vital AME coaching institutes are: 

 college of Aviation Science & Technology, Indian Institute of Aeronautics, college of Aeronautics and Indian Institute of Aeronautical science at New Delhi VSM Aerospace and Hindustan Aviation Academy at Bangalore Flytech Aviation Academy, Institute of Aircraft Maintenance Engineers, Rajiv Gandhi Aviation Academy and Hyderabad school of Aviation Tech at Hyderabad Aeronautical coaching Institute, Lucknow Nehru school of Aeronautics & Applied Sciences, Coimbatore Aircraft Maintenance & Engineering Institute, Kolkata Air Force Technical school, Bangalore and Mechanical coaching Institute, Madras.
