If you have completed the Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (AME) B1.2 Stream a wide range of job opportunities open up for you in the aviation industry. Below are some of the roles and career paths you could consider:
Aircraft Maintenance Technician / Engineer You can work directly on maintaining and repairing aircraft, especially helicopters and certain types of fixed wing aircraft, as per regulations for B1.2 licence holders.
Line-Maintenance Engineer Handling routine inspections, troubleshooting, and regular maintenance on aircraft between flights.
Base-Maintenance Engineer - In larger maintenance facilities, performing scheduled heavy maintenance, periodic checks, repairs, and overhauls.
Component-Level Maintenance Technician - Working on various aircraft components (like engines, landing gear, hydraulics, electrics) rather than whole-aircraft maintenance.
Aviation & Maintenance Technician for Helicopters - Because B1.2 often covers rotorcraft/ certain aircraft classes - a specialization many helicopter operators need.
Quality Assurance / Safety Inspector - Ensuring maintenance quality, safety compliance, regulatory checks, and airworthiness certifications under oversight.
Aircraft Maintenance Planner / Support Staff - In maintenance organizations or airlines, helping coordinate maintenance schedules, manage spare parts, and support engineers - a useful role especially when you have technical knowledge with B1.2 certification.
The B1.2 license qualifies you under aviation regulations to carry out maintenance repair inspection and certification of airworthy status on certain types of aircraft typically rotorcraft or specific fixed-wing types. This technical qualification is valued by airlines helicopter operators maintenance repair organizations (MROs), and aviation support companies.
Moreover, as aviation grows and more helicopters and small/medium aircraft are used for transport, cargo, medical-evacuation, tourism, surveying, etc., demand for maintenance engineers with B1.2 becomes stronger.
With B1.2 qualification you can also move up to supervisory or managerial roles:
Team Lead / Supervisor in a maintenance unit
Quality Control / Safety Supervisor
Maintenance Planner / Coordinator
Technical Instructor / Trainer - once you gain enough experience you might even teach maintenance to new trainees.
