People entrust their lives to aircraft maintenance engineers in the hope that they are properly maintaining and repairing aircraft carriers. When we feel turbulence on a plane or anything that disrupts our general feelings of aircraft safety, we hope that everything on the plane is regularly maintained and in good working condition. Aircraft maintenance engineers (AMEs) are responsible for routine maintenance on an aircraft, along with fixing any problems that arise. AMEs are licensed to inspect and certify that work done on aircraft complies with written safety standards.

They also work on preventative maintenance, as certain parts of an aircraft have a limited lifespan. Therefore, when airplane records suggest that a component be replaced, they quickly perform this replacement service so that problems will not occur in the future. AMEs service and repair various parts of an airplane, including airframes, engines, electrical and hydraulic systems, propellers, landing gear, brakes and aircraft instruments. They use special instruments to measure the wear and tear of parts and use x-ray machines to search for cracks undetectable to the human eye.

 (1) This Programme lays emphasis on:

 1. The role of an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer, his duties & privileges & professional ethics.
2. Proper understanding of rules governing Civil Aviation in India & abroad.
3. Importance of Precision, Perfection & Patience in Aircraft Maintenance.
4. Individual & collective responsibilities for the qualities of work performed.
5. The importance of good judgment based appropriate knowledge & careful analysis.

6. The importance of asking for helps when in doubt.
7. The importance of continuous study to improve knowledge & maintain current techniques.
8. Need to refer & adhere to standard procedures-practices & to ascertain their effectiveness constantly.

 (2) The above training is imparted through:

A. Theoretical & practical technical knowledge.
B. Knowledge of working practices and skills in the use of simple, advanced & sophisticated hand / machine tools.
C. Ability to inspect, arrive at a proper judgment & understanding the level of responsibility in certifying the airworthiness of an aircraft.

Three years of training is arranged into six semesters. Each semester will have equal hours of theory & "hands on" practical classes. This combination of theory & practical classes will not only develop the manual skill essential for Aircraft Maintenance Engineering but also give him / her a thorough concept of the aircraft & related systems. The sixth semester will be fully practical oriented. On job training will be conducted on live aircraft in some of the best known airlines and maintenance organizations.

RGMCA will make a wholehearted endeavour with the best practices to achieve highest possible standards of proficiency
