The Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (AME) Diploma (often an academic course approved by bodies like AICTE in India) is a rigorous program designed to produce technically proficient personnel capable of maintaining, inspecting and repairing aircraft. The curriculum is a careful blend of foundational engineering principles, specific aviation systems knowledge and regulatory compliance. Here is the AME diploma subjects.

The subjects taught in the Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Diploma course are typically structured over three years, with a major focus on the practical application of theoretical knowledge.

6 Project-Oriented Professional Training

The subjects of the AME Diploma are meticulously designed to ensure graduates possess a comprehensive understanding of aviation technology, making them job-ready for the demanding environment of aircraft maintenance.

Admission Process: Entrance Exams

While some colleges offer direct admission based on 10+2 merit, many premier and DGCA-approved institutes use an entrance examination to assess aptitude and knowledge.

  • Entrance Exams: Candidates may need to qualify for national-level entrance exams like AME CET (Aircraft Maintenance Engineering Common Entrance Test) to be eligible for admission and scholarships at various DGCA-approved institutes.
  • Assessment: These exams typically test your knowledge in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and General Aptitude.

Note: The "Diploma in AME" is often used interchangeably with the AME License Training Course (which focuses on preparing students for the DGCA module exams). The eligibility criteria listed above are generally applicable to both. The key difference is that the DGCA-approved training is mandatory for eventually obtaining the AME license, which allows you to certify an aircraft. Falcon Institute of Aircraft Maintenance Engineers (FIAME) is DGCA approved and FIAME is collaborating with Puran Murti Campus (Formerly PM Polytechnic), Sonipat (Delhi-NCR).

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main subjects covered in the AME Diploma course?

The AME Diploma program includes a mix of theoretical and practical subjects related to aircraft systems and maintenance. The core subjects include:

  • Aircraft Structures and Systems
  • Aerodynamics and Flight Mechanics
  • Aircraft Engines (Piston and Turbine)
  • Electrical and Electronic Systems
  • Hydraulics, Pneumatics, and Landing Gear Systems
  • Aviation Legislation and Safety Regulations
  • Maintenance Practices and Troubleshooting

The syllabus is divided into six semesters over three years. Each semester combines classroom theory, laboratory work and hands-on training. The structure gradually moves from basic engineering and science topics to advanced aircraft systems and maintenance techniques.

Avionics is a key specialization in the AME Diploma program. It covers aircraft electronic systems such as navigation, communication, radar, and flight instruments. Students learn to maintain, repair, and troubleshoot these systems - essential skills for ensuring safe and efficient aircraft operations.

Absolutely. The AME Diploma emphasizes practical learning. Students perform hands-on exercises in laboratories, workshops, and live aircraft environments, gaining experience with tools, components, and maintenance procedures used in real-world aviation.

Yes. The syllabus includes Aviation Legislation and Safety Regulations, which cover national and international aviation laws (like DGCA and EASA norms), maintenance procedures, and safety standards that engineers must follow during aircraft inspection and certification.

Yes, in the early semesters, foundational subjects such as Engineering Mathematics, Physics, and Basic Electrical/Electronic Engineering are taught to build the technical base required for understanding complex aircraft systems later in the course.

Each subject in the AME Diploma builds the skills needed to ensure aircraft safety, performance, and compliance with aviation standards. Mastery of these subjects allows graduates to work confidently in airlines, MRO organizations, aircraft manufacturing units, and aviation regulatory bodies.
