Aeroplane Turbine
The overall name for the category in the (Aeroplane Turbine) category that deals with studying and maintaining jet engines and aeroplane structures are Category of Aircraft Maintenance Engineering B1.1. The Aircraft Maintenance Engineering License in the B1.1 (Aeroplane Turbine) category is awarded to students who successfully complete all of the DGCA's Basic Knowledge Module Examinations and meet all of the requirements outlined in Aircraft Rule 61 and CAR 66.
To become an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer, one can enrol in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering colleges in India that are approved by DGCA. Obtaining an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer licence in the B1.1 (Aeroplane Turbine) category entitles the holder to use their authority to carry out maintenance on the structural, power-plant, mechanical, and electrical systems of an aircraft type specified on the licence, to issue certificates for release to service.

Students who wish to become aircraft maintenance engineers must enrol in an Institute of Aircraft Maintenance Engineering and pursue an AME course. The course is designed to teach students about aircraft and its systems, which they must study through different modules. According to the DGCA, there are a total of 17 modules, but candidates must only pass the ones that fall under the category they have selected. For instance, students who wish to obtain a licence in Category B1.1 must pass a total of 11 modules administered by the DGCA, Ministry of Civil Aviation, Government of India.
To ensure aircraft safety, no aircraft can take off before the necessary maintenance has been completed as specified by the aircraft's customer, operator, or owner. This is where a certifying staff from a CAR-145-approved maintenance organisation (AMO) issues the certification of release to service (CRS). However, one must possess a licence issued by the Regulatory Authority, Director General of Civil Aviation under Aircraft Rule 61 and CAR 66 to become a certifying staff. This licence allows an individual to advance as an aircraft maintenance engineer and work in the aviation industry.
Age

In India, Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (AME) is a three-year programme that has been approved by the DGCA. The licenced programme is offered in the B1.1 (Aeroplane Turbine) category of aircraft maintenance engineering. B1.1 Category students are required to undergo 2400 hours of training, which includes both theory and practical components. Students must attend 30% of the practical hours in an actual aircraft maintenance environment in a DGCA-approved CAR 145 AMO. The AME course is designed to teach students about the upkeep, diagnosis, and repair of aircraft. After completing this programme and fulfilling the CAR 66 requirements, the candidate will receive an Aircraft Maintenance Engineering licence in the B1.1 (Aeroplane Turbine) Category from the DGCA, Government of India. This licence is mandatory for individuals who wish to work as Aircraft Maintenance Engineers and certify the aircraft.
To work as an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (AME) and certify an aircraft, one must obtain a licence in aircraft maintenance engineering. The AME licence is recognised in India and other countries. The AME course has a duration of three years and is offered in the B1.1 (Aeroplane Turbine) category. The AME course has a duration of three years and is offered in the B1.1 (Aeroplane Turbine) category.

As a centre for aircraft maintenance engineering, the Western India Institute of Aviation (WIIA) has consistently led the way in implementing new technologies. Education is no longer only available inside a classroom. It has changed on a worldwide scale and is continuing to expand as technology advances in the twenty-first century.
Practical training is a planned activity that consolidates the knowledge learned during the academic portion of basic training. Our goal at WIIA (Institute of Aircraft Maintenance Engineering) is to provide the best possible hands-on instruction to the students. When they enrol at our institute for Aircraft Maintenance Engineering, our prospects are welcomed as assets. We provide 70% of the permitted practical training hours in the structured form on our campus and the remaining 30% of the practical training hours in an actual aircraft working environment at a CAR 145 AMO that has received DGCA approval. This instruction is provided by a group of highly qualified instructors. Many of them have worked in the aviation industry for 25 years and have become highly skilled in training.
The licenced AME must thoroughly check the aircraft and sign the certificate prior to the flight taking off. Before a flight may take off, a certificate is required; it certifies that the aircraft is safe to fly. AME oversees the safety and security of the aircraft and its passengers. The AME licence is recognised across the world. The licenced AME has job options in the public or private sectors in both India and abroad. The licenced AME is highly respectable. India's aviation sector is rapidly growing, which is excellent news for people who desire to work in aviation. India's annual increase in air travel enhances the demand for aeroplanes. As a result, companies, including Indigo, Go First, Spice Jet, Vistara, and Air India ordered new planes, generating Aircraft Maintenance Engineering job prospects in B1.1. For students, the Institute of Aircraft Maintenance Engineering offers excellent placement prospects.
Aircraft Maintenance training in foreign countries is conducted by various competent regulatory authorities of the states. Every regulatory authority that is a member of the European Union (EU) follows the same eligibility criteria for getting the Aircraft Maintenance Engineering License.
Like DGCA in our India, European Union Aviation Safety Agency - EASA in European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for the United States of America, Transport Canada - TC for Canada, Dubai Civil Aviation Authority - DCAA for Dubai, General Civil Aviation Authority - GCAA in UAE, etc.
The only institute of Aircraft Maintenance Engineering in India has a complete Boeing 737-200 aircraft in actual condition to deliver practical disclosure to the students.
Furthermore, at the Institute of Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (WIIA), we even have Learjet-24 (Aeroplane) & Zenith CH 2000 (Aeroplane) for practical practice on actual aircraft. The course material has been developed to satisfy the Aviation Industry-standard & approved by the Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).
Students get to work live on an enterprise giant. WIIA - Institute of Aircraft Maintenance Engineering equips its students with Boeing 737-200 fitted with all Instruments, controls, twin Axial Flow Turbo Fan Pratt & Whitney JT8D-17 engine, Emergency door, Cargo door, etc in actual condition for the functional training.
WIIA is an Institute of Aircraft Maintenance Engineering, is a proud proprietor of Bogie type Landing Gear of actual Aircraft Boeing 747-200 for the practical exercise of the students. Arrangement of disposal and building of Landing Gear, Brake Unit, and other accessories & parts of the Landing Gear. Students get hands-on knowledge with a jumbo format of aircraft equipment, giving them an additional advantage in the Global Aviation Industry.
Imagine getting to operate at the Institute of Aircraft Maintenance Engineering with live engines, disassembling them, bolting them, and bringing a live feel. This is what students would do in real workshops at MROs. Turbo Shaft Engine & Turbo Jet Engine are in disassemble, mounted, and fine cross-section view for demonstration & practical help of the students. Motor Operated SU-7 engine to quickly comprehend the working principle of the engine's various parts.
The Institute of Aircraft Maintenance Engineering holds a Aircraft Zenith CH-2000 fitted with Piston Engine (Lyc-O-235) with all systems in the working situation for the practical training for WIIA students.
Always get a fabulous job without devoting much effort to the best Institute of Aircraft Maintenance Engineering. There is immense scope in the aviation industry where they are free from mental pressure as it increases height with every new day.
