Aircraft maintenance engineer

This article is about aircraft maintainers. For designers of aircraft, see Aerospace engineering.

An aircraft maintenance engineer (AME) is a licensed person who carries out and certifies aircraft maintenance. This same title is used in a number of different countries, including Australia, Bangladesh, Canada,[1][2] India, and New Zealand. A licensed aircraft maintenance engineer (L-AME) is an AME with an inspection authorization.

An AME is similar to, but has different national rules and procedures from, a US or European aircraft maintenance technician.
