How the AME course is structured
The Aircraft Maintenance Engineering programme is a licensing training programme under the Aircraft Rules 1937, Rule 61 and Civil Aviation Requirement CAR-66. It begins with three years (six semesters) of basic training at a DGCA-approved CAR-147 organisation.
Basic training hours depend on the stream: 2400 hours for B1.1 (aeroplane turbine), 2000 hours for B1.2 (aeroplane piston) and 2400 hours for B2 (avionics).
After basic training comes practical experience at a CAR-145 organisation, DGCA module examinations, type training and finally the licence.
