In a Polytechnic in AME (Aircraft Maintenance Engineering) diploma, you study a wide range of technical subjects that help you understand how aircraft work and how to maintain them safely. The syllabus is designed to build strong practical and theoretical knowledge so you can work confidently in the aviation industry.
Here are the main subjects you will study:
Aircraft Systems – You learn about hydraulic systems, landing gears, fuel systems, electrical systems, and environmental control systems. These topics help you understand how different aircraft components operate during flight.
Aerodynamics – This subject explains how an aircraft flies, including lift, drag, thrust, stability, and control. It gives you the scientific foundation needed to understand flight performance.
Maintenance Practices – You study standard maintenance procedures, aircraft inspection techniques, workshop practices, safety rules, and troubleshooting methods. This prepares you for real-world maintenance tasks.
Aircraft Instrumentation & Avionics – This includes flight instruments, navigation systems, communication systems, sensors, and electronic equipment used in modern aircraft.
Propulsion Systems – You learn about different types of aircraft engines, including piston engines, turbine engines, and jet engines. You also understand engine components, working principles, and maintenance procedures.
Aviation Regulations – This covers DGCA rules, international aviation standards, airworthiness requirements, and safety guidelines. It helps you understand the legal and regulatory framework of the aviation industry.
Overall, these subjects give you complete knowledge of how aircraft operate, how to maintain them, and how to follow aviation safety rules. This combination of theory and hands-on training prepares you for a strong career in aircraft maintenance.
