B1.1: turbine-engine aeroplanes
B1.1 is the mechanical licence category for aeroplanes fitted with turbine engines, the type flown by scheduled airlines and cargo operators. Engineers in this category work on the airframe, engines and mechanical and electrical systems.
At Redwings Aerotechnique the B1.1 basic training runs for 2400 hours over three years, with classes in Hindi and English and an online test series for DGCA module preparation. Each batch has up to 60 students.
Students who clear the DGCA basic knowledge modules and complete the maintenance experience set by DGCA under CAR-66 get the AME licence in Category B1.1.

Where B1.1 engineers work
B1.1 engineers work with scheduled airlines, cargo operators, MROs and engine shops on line and base maintenance. With experience, they move on to type ratings for specific aircraft.
Under the Aircraft Act 1934 and the rules made under it, an Indian-registered aircraft can fly only after a DGCA-licensed AME certifies it. Even with a degree in aeronautical engineering, certification needs this licence.
- Scheduled and cargo airlines
- MROs and engine shops
- Line and base maintenance
- Type ratings with experience
