Understanding the Role
Pilots Fly. AMEs Ensure They Fly Safe.
An Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (AME) is the professional responsible for ensuring every aircraft is airworthy before it takes to the sky. While pilots command the cockpit, AMEs command the safety of the entire machine.
From inspecting turbine engines and overhauling landing gear to certifying avionics systems, the AME holds one of the most critical roles in aviation. Every safe flight begins with the signature of an AME.
The Pilot
Flies the aircraft, navigates routes, and manages in-flight operations from the cockpit.
The AME
Inspects, maintains, and certifies that every aircraft is safe to fly. No flight happens without their approval.

Our student feedback obut about courses
Regional Institute of Aviation has the best infrastructure in terms of classrooms, labs, libraries and real aircrafts to learn from. Course is equally practical oriented which helps a lot when we go for jobs. We get OJT from Air India etc. which is a great way to learn from actual companies. Institute has good training faculty and provides a good ambience for studies.

As I’m a Basic Maintenance Trainee under the CAR-147 basic, the institute met all the standards and requirements by DGCA. Also, the unique feature is that our college has training partnership with AIESL MRO Trivandrum as well as AIRWORKS CMRO Hosur to impart our practicals on Live Aircrafts. Our college has another unique feature from all other college which is revision classes for DGCA modular exams. I have friends studying AME all over India and most do not provide revision classes for Module and final exams. Infrastructure is the best available in India.

Common Questions
What career can I expect after this?
After completing the AME program and obtaining your license, you will be qualified to work in aircraft maintenance roles across airlines, MRO (Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul) organizations, and aerospace companies. AMEs are responsible for inspecting, servicing, and certifying aircraft — a role that is essential to every flight operation worldwide.
Is being color blind an issue?
Yes, unfortunately. Color vision is a critical requirement for Aircraft Maintenance Engineers. AMEs must be able to correctly identify color-coded wiring, indicators, and safety markings. Candidates who are color blind will not meet the medical eligibility criteria for the AME license.
