Inquiry About Aircraft Maintenance Engineer

Khairul Nazmi Zainol Ariffin asked,

I have read your blog and admire your job as aircraft maintenance engineer.
I am 24 yrs old and have BEng in Electrical and Electronic. Is there any tips for me to become aircraft maintenance engineer?
Thanks in advance.

Helmi replied..

Anyone can become AME, what you need to do is find an organistaion that can assist you on getting licensed to maintain the aircraft like a pilot that have a license to fly an aircraft.

MAS training school, AirAsia do recruit trainee AME, MIAT in Sepang & UNIKL do offer course for AME.

Another way is get a job as aircraft mechanic with any aviation company, then do your self study to get the licence, to pass the exam you need hands on as well coz there will be an oral on job that you perform so reading the books only is not good enough..

Hope this will help..
