Aircraft Maintenance Engineers (AMEs) are the silent guardians, ensuring the wings stay strong and the skies remain safe. They are the backbone of aircraft safety, holding the crucial responsibility of certifying aircraft for flight. Whether it's a commercial airliner, a private jet, or an air ambulance rushing to save lives, every aircraft in India needs the green light from a licensed AME before it can soar into the sky.
According to the stringent guidelines set by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), as well as the Indian Aircraft Rules-1937 and Aircraft Act-1934, “No aircraft can be released to service unless a Certificate of Release to Service (CRS) is issued at the completion of any maintenance, when satisfied that all maintenance required has been properly carried out, by appropriate Certifying staff, Aircraft Maintenance Engineers on behalf of the maintenance organisation in compliance with requirements of CAR 66.".
