Piston Engine Systems: This course of aviation covers numerous components & systems used in piston engines, such as engine structure, fuel systems, ignition systems, lubrication systems, cooling systems, and propellers along with Aircraft structure and systems.
Maintenance Procedures: Inspections, service, repairs, replacement, modification and engine overhauls are just a few of the several maintenance techniques taught to students specifically for piston engines. Through hands-on training and working on actual piston engines, they acquire real-world experience.
Safety and Rules: Our faculties strongly emphasised following aviation safety rules and maintenance procedures. The importance of airworthiness, safety protocol, and regulatory compliance are stressed to students.
Technical Documentation: Students learn how to interpret technical manuals, diagrams, and engineering drawings specific to piston engines fitted Aircraft, enabling them to understand the engine's specifications, procedures, and troubleshooting methods.
Troubleshooting and Diagnostics: Aircraft Maintenance Engineering courses provide training in identifying and diagnosing faults in piston engines. Students learn problem- solving techniques to resolve engine-related issues and ensure optimal performance.
Certification: Successful completion of the AME Cat- B1.2 (Aeroplane Piston) course allows individuals to gain an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer license in Category B1.2, specialising in piston engine fitted Aircraft from DGCA. This certification authorises them to work onpiston-powered aircraft.
Practical training is anactivity that helps strengthens the knowledge gained during academic training. Our goal at WIIA (Western India Institute of Aeronautics) 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 onour campus and the remaining 30%in anactual aircraft working environment at a CAR 145 AMO that has received DGCA approval. A group of highly qualified instructors provides this instruction. 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 J et, Vistara, and Air India, ordered new planes, generating Aircraft Maintenance Engineering job prospects in B1.1and B2. For students, the Institute of Aircraft Maintenance Engineering offers excellent placement prospects./p>
After acquiring a DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation) licence as an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (AME) in the B1.2 category, numerous employment prospects are available in the aviation industry. Here are two specific options:
Flight Training Organization (FTO): B1.2 DGCA-licensed AMEs canserve as maintenance employees in flight training organisations. FTOs provide training to aspiring pilots and require maintenance assistance to keep their training aircraft airworthy. Inspections, repairs, and maintenance duties are performed by AMEs in FTOs to ensure the safe and reliable operation of the aircraft used for flight training.
Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) Organisations: MRO organisations play an important role in the aviation sector by providing maintenance services for numerous aircraft types. Aircraft Maintenance Engineers with a B1.2 licence may find work in MRO's performing aircraft maintenance activities such as inspections, repairs, component replacements, and system troubleshooting. They may specialise in specific aircraft types, providing expertise to assure aircraft airworthiness and regulatory compliance.
These careers provide stability, possibilities for professional progress, and the opportunity to work in various aviation environments. B1.2 Aircraft Maintenance Engineers play a crucial role in guaranteeing the safety and maintenance of aircraft, contributing to the efficient and reliable functioning of the aviation industry, whether in a Flight Training Organisation (FTO) or an MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul).
Aircraft maintenance training is offered in foreign countries by various state regulatory authorities. Every regulatory authority in the European Union (EU) adheres to the same eligibility criteria for obtaining an Aircraft Maintenance Engineering License.
Like DGCA in India, EASA in the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the United States of America, Transport Canada (TC) in Canada, Dubai Civil Aviation Authority (DCAA) in Dubai, General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) in the (UAE) United Arab Emirates, etc.
As an Institute of Aircraft Maintenance Engineering, we have Boeing737-200, Learjet-24 Zenith CH 2000 (Aeroplane) for practical training on aircraft. The course has been developed to satisfy the Aviation Industry standard & approved by the Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).
WIIA is an Aircraft Maintenance Engineering college and 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 anadditional advantage in the Global Aviation Industry. The Institute of Aircraft Maintenance Engineering holds an Aircraft Zenith CH-2000 fitted with Piston Engine (Lycoming-O-235) with all systems in the working condition for practical training for WIIA students.
Imagine getting to operate at the Colleges of Aircraft Maintenance Engineering with live engines, disassembling them, assembling them, repair them and bringing a live feel.
This is what students would do in actual workshops at MROs. Turbo Shaft Engine & Turbo J et Engine are in disassemble, mounted, and in fine cross-section view for demonstration & practical help for the students. Motor Operated SU-7 engine is available to quickly comprehend the working principle of the engine's various parts.
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.
