Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (Licence CAT B1.1)

An Aircraft Maintenance Engineer is responsible for the maintenance and repair of Airframe, Engines of the aircraft. They also learn to test them for their correct functioning. They play a major role among the maintenance personnel to keep the aircraft ‘airworthy’ at all times. The Aircraft Maintenance Training (AME) programme conducted by CINEC is based on “EASA” (European Aviation Safety Agency) course syllabus. This course is fully approved by the Civil Aviation Authority of Sri Lanka (CAASL), leading towards an Aircraft Maintenance (Engineers) License, CAASL stipulates 4 years of relevant training and experience followed by passing the AML examination conducted by CAASL. However, if you follow the 2-year AME course at CINEC, then you have to only show and additional 2 years On -The-Job-Training (OJT) work experience with an approved Airline / Aircraft operator. Following that you would be able to gain employment with an airline and complete your “type training” on an aircraft (e.g. Airbus A320) to become a fully qualified “Type Rated” Aircraft Maintenance Engineer.
