Aircraft Maintenance Engineering in Canada

AME Training in Canada
In Canada, an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (AME) is an individual who is Transport Canada (TC) authorized to sign the maintenance release of certified aircraft. The applicant for an AME license should be at least 21 years old. Airplane Maintenance Engineers should finish an instructional class at a TC Approved Training Organization (ATO). Upon successful completion, they are allowed to have an AME license, which is substantial for six years and may be renewed. This Transport Canada approved program provides basic training towards an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer 'M' Licence. AME students develop the required knowledge and skills in the maintenance of large and small fixed and rotary wing aircraft through a comprehensive 15-month Diploma program.
