What is AME?

In order to maintain the safety of aircraft, passengers, cargos aircraft maintenance engineering is required. This is one of the most advanced engineering fields. Aircraft Maintenance Engineers are the licensed engineers, such licenses are issued by the competent authority of civil aviation industry of the country. In India this competent authority is Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) under ministry of civil aviation. International Civil Aviation Industry is governed by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). Licensed aircraft maintenance engineers are recognized by the ICAO.

The job and responsibility of the AMEs are to ensure the flight safety for the passengers, cargos, crews while carrying out the routine inspection, maintenance, repair, overhaul, snag analysis its rectification. The field of aircraft maintenance engineering and its techniques is more based on computer based technology for maintenance activity, preventive maintenance which increases the system reliability and safety standardization. A predictive maintenance of aircraft, engine, parts and components by the Aircraft Maintenance Engineers also enhanced the safety standards with the prediction of system failure, its causes before it leads to the safety hazards.

Aircraft Maintenance Engineer is the sole responsible person for the maintenance and overhaul of Aircraft, Aero engines, Instruments, Electrical and Radio equipment’s and their accessories. AME issues the Certificate of Release to Service (CRS) for airworthiness of the Aircraft and its associate parts after daily maintenance activity. The Aircraft Maintenance Engineers of Aviation industry is highly paid engineers in the industries. AME is responsible for an Aircraft’s Maintenance and Certifying the Aircraft Airworthiness before a flight commence.

Civil Aviation in India

In India civil aviation industry has booming career opportunity. Civil aviation in India is the world’s top most aviation market as of now. Air India is the national flag carrier and a national airlines which merged with the Indian airlines in the year 2007. It dominates the current days airlines and civil aviation market in India with the pan India connecting network as well as abroad. Many of the other airlines has a vital role in providing air traffic services in domestic as well as abroad air route. Indigo, Vistara, AIX connect, Spicejet, Akasha Air and many of non schedules airlines of fixed as well as rotary wing aircrafts has a major role in the market share of civil aviation in India.

DGCA is the regulatory body of civil aviation department, head quarter at New Delhi, under the ministry of civil aviation, Gov of India. The function of DGCA is the registration of aircraft; licensing of pilots, aircraft maintenance engineers, air traffic controllers etc. It also standardize the airworthiness for civil aircraft, certify the aerodrome, granting the air operator certificates, carrying out the amendments of rules and regulation, provides approval of flying training institute, AME training institutes, approves the aircraft maintenance, repair design etc.

Throughout 2023, DGCA intensified its safety oversight efforts, conducting a record 5,745 surveillances, including 4,039 planned surveillances, 1,706 spot checks, and night surveillance. This marked a notable 26 percent increase in surveillance activities compared to 2022, underscoring the dedication to enforcing compliance and enhancing safety within the aviation landscape.

As a result of surveillance findings, DGCA took enforcement actions against non-compliant personnel, airlines, and other operators. The 542 enforcement actions in 2023 represent a substantial 77 percent increase from the 305 actions carried out in 2022. DGCA highlighted its commitment to ensuring compliance with regulations by conducting surveillance activities on airlines, aerodrome operators, approved organizations, and aviation personnel under its regulatory purview.

At Airlines/MRO

The aircraft maintenance engineers works in airlines or MRO/AMOs are the dream of any seeker. The significance of their job and responsibility is the base of any successful airlines carrier and air traffic services. These organizations open the opportunity for the level of aircraft maintenance technician (AMT) which one day leads to become licensed aircraft maintenance engineer. The life at airlines and MRO are full of enthusiasm, curiosity, dynamic and good personality. Almost more than hundreds organizations are current approved/accepted under MRO/AMO criteria by DGCA apart from the airlines which create the ample of opportunity for the job seekers in aircraft maintenance engineering field in India. There are number of MRO/Airlines at abroad which provide the career option with attractive remunerations.
