Aircraft Maintenance Engineer

Hello Prem, Presently in India there is nothing like AME! Passenger as well as cargo traffic is increasing year on year by almost 15%. This has made almost all Indian airlines purchasing large number of aeroplanes. Now this in turn has fuelled requirement of trained AME's. There is one college situated in HAL premises called HAL-Pravara that is giving training to become AME.

Hello Rahul, Aeronautical engineering courses are of four years duration and need to be recognised by AICTE. On the other hand, AME courses are of three years duration and need to be recognised by DGCA.

Hello Rushikesh, Actually speaking aeronautical engineering is the name of the course and aerospace is the name of industry operating in this field. Presently at least in India there is hardly any scope for employment in core areas. On the other hand, AME deals with servicing and main of civilian aircraft. In India passenger as well as cargo traffic is increasing by around 15% per year. This means more aeroplanes in Indian skies which in turn means more AME requirement. Tremendous opportunities for job.

You have to directly contact the college administration regarding the fee information, as the information you are seeking for is made unavailable for representatives of this college.

Hello Abdu, Aircraft Maintenance engineering is actually not an engineering branch. Students passing out of these courses are enabled to obtain DGCA liscence. In India air traffic is increasing by as much as 10% PA. This has already resulted in many airlines purchasing aeroplanes. Hence prospects are quite good for some years ahead.

Dear Aadil,
AME is really a prestigious course, and a number of foreign universities are providing this course. University of South Wales, UK, Centennial College, Algonquin College and Canadore College in Canada, Air New Zealand Aviation Institute, New Zealand and many more. If you want to study in Australia, you can opt for Air Australia.

Hello Aadil,
Aircraft Maintenance Engineering and Aeronautical engineering courses are different. AME means one would be trained in the maintainance activities of aircraft and which should lead to a job with an airline. Of course, one needs to obtain a liscence from DGCA for working in India. Aeronautical Engineering on the other hand is a different cup of tea. It teaches you different aspects of a flying object. IIT-Mumbai is the best option for AE. For AME, there are plenty of colleges in each state.
