Working as an AME in an MRO
A Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul organisation (MRO) maintains aircraft and components for airlines, operators and owners. In India, MROs are approved by DGCA under CAR-145.
MROs offer a wide range of work: line maintenance contracts, hangar checks, engine and component shops, painting, structures and avionics. This variety makes them a great place to build skills.
Redwings Group itself runs a DGCA-approved CAR-145 MRO, so Redwings students understand how an MRO works before they start their careers.
Departments in a typical MRO
Hangar checks

Component shops
Repair and overhaul of parts and assemblies.
Structures

Why MRO experience is valuable
Working across different aircraft and customers builds broad experience quickly. The practical maintenance experience needed for the AME licence is gained at CAR-145 organisations.
MRO engineers also learn strict documentation and quality standards, which help throughout their careers.
- Broad aircraft exposure
- Experience towards the licence
- Strong documentation habits
- Many specialisations
