Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (AME) B1.4 Stream is a professional aviation maintenance course where students learn how to inspect repair and maintain helicopters with piston engines. These are internal combustion engines used in certain types of helicopters that power flight through rotating blades.
This stream is part of the B1 license category in AME which is the mechanical stream focused on aircraft's physical systems. Graduates are trained to work safely on helicopter mechanical parts like engines landing gear fuel and hydraulic systems and more.
In this stream, students study both theory and hands-on practical skills including:
Engine Maintenance: Working on piston engines that run helicopter power systems.
Mechanical Systems: Services for parts like gears, frames, and controls that help the helicopter fly.
Troubleshooting: Finding and fixing problems in engine and structural systems.
Safety Standards: Learning rules and aviation norms to keep aircraft safe before each flight.
After training, students must pass the DGCA exam which is required to become a licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineer.
Once certified in the Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (AME) B1.4 Stream, graduates can work with:
Helicopter Operators
Maintenance Repair Organizations (MROs)
Defense Aviation Services
Civil and Private Flight Services
This stream offers a valuable career for those who want to work on helicopter engines and mechanics.
