Mechanical systems & engines: You study how helicopter turbine engines work including engine parts, powerplant systems and maintenance procedures.
Rotor, transmission & flight controls: Training involves working with rotor systems transmission parts, hydraulic and pneumatic systems and flight controls all critical for safe helicopter operations.
Fuel, hydraulic & other systems unique to helicopters: You learn to maintain fuel systems hydraulic lines, pneumatic systems and other mechanical parts specific to helicopters.
Inspection, overhaul & troubleshooting: Students get practice in inspection routines, overhauls, detecting problems and repairing mechanical defects.
Safety standards and certification: Training includes learning about aviation safety norms, regulations, and how to certify a helicopter as airworthy after maintenance per rules by Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) in India.
The AME B1.3 program blends classroom lessons and hands on training. In the classroom, you get theoretical knowledge about aircraft mechanics systems and maintenance procedures.
In practical sessions workshops labs or approved maintenance-organization settings you work on actual helicopter components. This gives you real world experience in engine disassembly/assembly system checks troubleshooting, and maintenance tasks.
Helicopters are complex machines. Their engines rotor systems hydraulics pneumatics all parts must function perfectly for safety. The hands on training in AME B1.3 ensures you develop skills to handle this complexity. It prepares you for real maintenance work.
After completing the program and receiving license approval from DGCA, you can work as a licensed aircraft maintenance engineer specialized in turbine engine helicopters.
