More about aviation training

Aviation training plays an important part in keeping the aviation industry safe. With the advance of technology in aviation, growth and changes have been made to aircraft systems and technology. These advances, although wonderful, create new safety risks and therefore, aviation training is of the utmost importance.

What is an aircraft engineer and what do they do?

Aircraft maintenance specialists or engineers (AMEs) are highly sought-after professionals both domestically as well as abroad. They ensure that safety standards and aircraft controls are uncompromised. Qualified AMEs are responsible for the safe passage of every flight, before, during and after an aircraft takes to the sky.

Aircraft engineers install, maintain and repair aircraft structures, airframes and engines and aircraft radio, avionic (electronic) and mechanical systems.

They have to train for three to five years before they are qualified and some of their duties include:

  • Regularly checking that electronic and mechanical systems are working and meet the safety requirements
  • Repairing or replacing faulty parts or systems
  • Maintaining and servicing aircrafts

They need knowledge of electronic, mechanical and structural systems and equipment, repair techniques as well as safety regulations and methods.
