Introduction
Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (AME) is a
specialized field focused on maintaining,
repairing, and overhauling aircraft to ensure
safety and efficiency. AMEs perform regular
inspections, diagnose issues, and conduct routine
maintenance, adhering to strict aviation safety
regulations set by authorities like the FAA and
EASA. They follow detailed technical manuals
and keep precise records of all work performed.
Certification is required, involving rigorous
training and exams. AMEs may specialize in
specific aircraft types or systems, working in
various environments, including hangars and
airfields, often under diverse conditions to
ensure aircraft are operational and safe.
