Aircraft Maintenance Engineer — Aviation

Keeps aircraft safe and airworthy.

What they do

Aircraft Maintenance Engineers (AMEs) inspect, service, repair and certify the airworthiness of aircraft and their components — engines, avionics, airframes, hydraulics and electrical systems. They are the last line of defence before a plane flies: in India, an AME licence from the DGCA legally authorises them to sign off a Certificate of Release to Service. No aircraft may be dispatched without this sign-off.
