About This Course
Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (AME) is a specialized field focused on the inspection, repair, and maintenance of aircraft. This discipline ensures the safety, reliability, and airworthiness of aircraft through meticulous care and adherence to aviation standards.AME course is a 3 years course (6 semesters) in which a successful student will attain a higher diploma in aircraft maintenance and secondly prepares a cadet to the level of being ready for civil aviation authority (CAA) ICAO type 2 aircraft maintenance engineers license (AMEL) exams.
Aircraft Maintenance Engineering, with its focus on airframes and engines and/or Avionics is essential for the safety and efficiency of air travel. It requires a combination of technical expertise, rigorous training, and a commitment to continuous improvement, ensuring that aircraft operate safely and efficiently at all times
What You'll Learn
An Aircraft Engineering course covers key topics such as aerodynamics, focusing on flight performance and stability, and aircraft structures, highlighting materials and construction methods. Students learn about propulsion systems, including jet and piston engines, and avionics, covering navigation, communication, and control systems. The course emphasizes maintenance practices, aircraft systems like hydraulic and fuel systems, and flight mechanics and control, including pilot and autopilot operations. Safety and regulatory standards for certification and airworthiness are critical components. Additionally, the use of modern technologies such as CAD and simulation tools is integral. These topics prepare students for careers in the aerospace industry, ensuring safe and efficient aircraft operation.
