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.

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.

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.
