Open EASAA job of dignity & responsibility
An Aircraft Maintenance Engineer carries out and certifies overhaul and major repairs of aircraft, power plants, components and accessories before release to service, as per national and international aviation standards. Airlines, MROs and flying clubs all appoint licensed AMEs for this certification.
To become an AME you must complete the course at a DGCA-approved institute. Completing the course alone does not give a licence: you must also pass the DGCA module examinations and complete practical training.
The duty of an AME is to ensure the aircraft is fit to fly before it leaves the ground.
Seats in B1 and B2 are limited: each institute admits only the number allotted by DGCA.Eligibility checklist
