Before talking about the difference between Aircraft Maintenance Engineering and Aerospace Engineering. It is important to know about this profession.

Aircraft Maintenance Engineering is a 4-year license based program. In this course, one will be able to learn about the work related to safety security and maintenance and troubleshooting all the air vehicles like aircraft and aeroplanes.

 

Aerospace Engineering is a 4-year BTech Degree course. It is related to the designing, development, manufacturing, testing, and researching of air vehicles and space vehicles like Airplanes, Satellites, rockets, missiles, etc.

 

The salary of the Aircraft Maintenance Engineers and Aerospace Engineers:

  • The average salary of the Aircraft Maintenance Engineers, according to pay scale, is INR 40 Lakhs per year.
  • The estimated salary of the Aerospace Engineers is INR 6-10 Lakhs per year.

 

The candidates can build their careers in the following fields after the completion of the course of Aircraft Maintenance Engineering or Aerospace Engineering:

  • Airlines
  • Maintenance, Repair, and Overhauls (MRO) Industries
  • Aircraft Manufacturing Companies
  • Aircraft Part Manufacturing Companies
  • Civil Defense Forces
  • Researches Organisations

 

The detailed information about the career fields after the completion of the AME or Aerospace Engineering course are as follows:

  • Airlines

    Airlines are the safest means of transport. It is an organization that provides air means of transportation. The role of a licensed AME is to analyze and solve problems. After that, he/ she gives an FRC so that the Aircraft can fly. The Aerospace Engineers use their technical knowledge to improve flight safety and fuel efficiency, reduce costs and address the environmental impact of air travel.

  • Maintenance, Repair, and Overhauls (MRO) Industries

    MRO companies are those companies that specialize in performing maintenance actions on the aircraft. Aerospace Engineer uses his/ her technicality to improve the specialized function in maintenance actions on aircraft and its pieces of equipment.

  • Aircraft Manufacturing Companies

    For maintaining and operating engines, electronics systems, etc, the AME are hired. The Aeronautics field is related to the manufacturing of aircraft. Therefore, the AME play an essential in the organizations.

  • Aircraft Part Manufacturing Companies

    Aircraft Maintenance Engineer can analyze those parts and help them to build a better one. These companies build the components of an aircraft to manufacture them.

  • Civil Defense Forces

    There are many aircraft which are used in defence for various purposes to protect the country. Those aircraft are maintained by the licensed ME. Furthermore, the career of the licensed AME and Aerospace Engineering can be in Designing, Manufacturing, Testing Military Weapons, Aircraft, Missiles, etc.

  • Researches Organizations

    An Authorized Aircraft Maintenance Engineer is needed at every place wherever the aircraft is used. The Aerospace Engineer builds his/ her career in research organizations such as ISRO, NASA, DRDO, etc.

 

Both the courses, Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Aerospace Engineering come under Aviation Engineering. There is a huge scope in both courses. After the completion of the courses, the candidates will be able to bag great jobs along with amazing salary packages in India and abroad in both Government and Private sectors. The applicants can take admission in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering or Aerospace Engineering courses through the AME CET entrance exam. This exam provides admission to several types of aviation courses.
