AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE ENGINEERS
Aircraft Maintenance Engineers are a
vital part of any airline operation, ensuring
that aircraft are available for service and
maintained in an optimal and safe condition.
Large aircraft are complex machines
which need to be serviced by teams of
technicians and engineers. Licensed Aircraft
Maintenance Engineers have the additional
responsibility of certifying work carried out on
the aircraft.
Aircraft Maintenance Engineers regularly
perform inspections of aircraft structure,
mechanical and electronic systems, engines
and cabin to ensure that everything is
functioning correctly and meets regulatory
and safety requirements.
Their work typically involves assembling and
disassembling aircraft components for repair
and overhaul, as well as replacing or reinstalling
parts after further testing and inspections.
Aircraft maintenance engineers need to have
first-hand knowledge of aircraft structures,
mechanical and electrical systems and
electronics as well as the approved repair
techniques and procedures required to
service them.
They must learn how to use specialised tools
and equipment to do their job correctly, and
apply safe work practices. Engineers also
need to have an understanding of how aircraft
fly (aerodynamics) and how different materials
will react during flight in order to completely
understand the maintenance requirements of
the aircraft they will be servicing.
The airline industry is a highly regulated
environment that strives to maintain the
highest safety standards at all times, so
Engineers need to refer to a wide range of
documentation when performing their duties,
and are actively involved in keeping accurate
records of the work that they perform.
An exciting career and a vital role to play in the success of any airline or maintenance organisation.

EASA APPROVED TRAINING COURSESA typical pathway to becoming a Licensed
Aircraft Maintenance Engineer involves
successfully completing an approved Training
Course which ensures full coverage of all
subjects and international compliance with the
strict requirements of the aviation industry.
The Air New Zealand Aviation Institute
offers a multi-stream (B1.1, B1.3, B2) Basic
Training Course which is fully approved
under European Aviation Safety Agency Part
147 regulations. This regulatory body was
formed by the airworthiness authorities of
the European Union in 2003 and is today
one of the foremost agencies of its type with
regulatory and executive tasks in the field of
civilian aviation safety around the world.
As an EASA Approved Training Organisation,
the Air New Zealand Aviation Institute is
authorised to issue course completion
certificates to graduates of our EASA
Basic Training Course. This ensures that
the qualification you obtain with us will be
recognised around the world, or is easily
transferable to regions where there is a
direct correlation between EASA and your
local airworthiness regulatory authority. This
is possible because EASA legislation and
regulations are either already adopted, or
closely align with the rules and legislation
currently in place, for example, in Asia and
the Middle East.

The Aviation Institute is an EASA Part 147 approved training organisation for both basic maintenance and aircraft type training.
EASA PART 147 APPROVED
EASA Part 147 Approved 9
The programme delivers a combination of
theoretical and practical modules over a
period of 82 training weeks including
time spent in a Part 145 Approved
Maintenance Organisation.
Air New Zealand Aviation Institute’s EASA
Part 147 Approved Basic Training Course
offers international students the unique
opportunity to study in New Zealand,
learn from one of the world’s leading airlines
and obtain an internationally
recognised qualification.
The 2 year programme is also approved by
the New Zealand Qualifications Authority
as a New Zealand Diploma in Aeronautical
Engineering (European Regulations) –
Level 5, so graduates receive both an
aviation industry recognised and academic
qualification. During the first year, students
study a comprehensive syllabus providing
a sound overview of all aircraft systems,
mechanical and avionics, and both fixed
wing, and helicopter. During all phases
of training theory lessons are mixed with
practical courses to develop good hand skills
and reinforce learning. Students then start
their 2nd year undertaking common EASA
modules before moving on to specialised
studies in either the Mechanical (B1.1) or
Avionic (B2) disciplines. It is during this 2nd
year that EASA examinations for licence
are sat. This phased approach provides the
big picture earlier and allows international
students to acclimatise before sitting
formal regulatory exams. Graduates, having
satisfied the examination and assessment
requirements of the EASA course, candidates
are able to continue their training with a third
party sponsor or employer in an approved
maintenance organisation in order to gain
relevant and documented experience towards
making an application for Licence (LAME) in
the appropriate category.
EASA BASIC TRAINING COURSE
The Aviation Institute’s EASA Part 147 Approved Basic Training Course is for students who wish to become Licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineers in either the Mechanical (B1.1 or B1.3) or Avionic (B2) category.

The diagram on the following page provides
a summary of these phases. Following
a New Zealand induction, students are
enrolled into the National Certificate in
Aeronautical Engineering. Concepts and
topics are introduced through a combination
of classroom study, practical training in
aviation workshops and familiarisation visits
to an operational aircraft maintenance base.
Students receive an ideal introduction to their
future career and working environment, whilst
building a solid foundation of knowledge that
will be revisited in depth during their second
year of study.
The next phase builds on this newly acquired
proficiency with a 21-week programme of
common EASA modules (1-10). In the case
that a difference exists in the level required
for either the B1 or the B2 streams, the
subject is taught to the highest level. This
means that students who wish to convert
between a B1 or B2 licence at some point
in the future will already be qualified to
the required standard for those common
modules, without the need for
additional training.
PROGRAMME OVERVIEW
The Aviation Institute’s EASA Part 147 Approved Basic Training Course is delivered in 4 phases, providing students with a comprehensive programme that combines theory, practical and a dedicated period of on-job Training.
12 EASA Part 147 Approved
The third phase of training involves students
or sponsors selecting a trade specialisation in
either B1.1 Aeroplanes Turbine Engines, B1.3
Helicopters Turbine Engines or B2 Avionic
category of Licence. Students then focus on
the theoretical and practical training relevant
to their chosen career path.
The final phase of the programme is a
posting to a Part 145 Organisation for 8
weeks of “on job training” (OJT). Students
following the B1.1 and B2 streams are
posted to Air New Zealand Technical
Operations, where they will experience
a sizeable line and base maintenance
operation. Students following the B1.3
stream are posted to specialist helicopter
maintenance facilities. This phase is key to
consolidating the knowledge and skills learnt
in classrooms, workshops or training hangars
and marks a vital transition into the real world.
It is a huge confidence builder that prepares
the student for their sponsor’s organisation or
their first job.
Our phased approach therefore provides
coverage of key topics at a basic level before
building on this foundation knowledge as the
student progresses through the course. This
enables students to keep sight of all relevant
information and see how it all fits together,
instead of studying subjects in isolation or as
separate, disconnected elements.

+ Acclimatise Quicker
Domestic and international students study
together in the same classroom, providing
greater opportunities for International
students to assimilate into their new
environment, make friends and strengthen
their English language skills.
+ Develop Greater Systems Knowledge
All students receive a comprehensive
understanding of mechanical and avionic
systems of fixed and rotary wing aircraft at
a Certificate level before studying licence
subjects at the level required by EASA Part
66. Students see the bigger picture earlier
and build on this knowledge, instead of
studying subjects separately as
unrelated topics.
+ Achieve improved results
Students for whom English is a second
language receive training during their first
36 weeks at a level that is more appropriate
to their language abilities at that time. This
allows them to make progress at a realistic
pace and reach the right level in preparation
for the forma EASA module examinations,
which are not taken until phase 2. This crucial
“settling-in” period allows students to adjust
to their new environment and to establish a
strong examination technique, conducive to
obtaining good results.
+ Have career path flexibility
Students or sponsors can delay making a
final trade determination until the second year.
By this time students will have developed
an affinity for mechanical or avionic aspects,
allowing them to make an informed decision
and choose the most appropriate path for
specialisation. Even downstream changes can
be accommodated more easily thanks to a
common core of subjects taught at the highest
level earlier on in the programme.
Embedding the National Certificate inside of the approved EASA curriculum offers significant benefits over the traditional method of teaching subjects solely “by the modules”. Instead, with our integrated approach, students are able to:

Partly driven by necessity, due to the unique,
geographically-remote location of its Islands in
the southern hemisphere, but equally fostered
through the pioneering and innovative spirit of
its people, New Zealand proudly counts some
of the world’s greatest aviators and inventors
among its own citizens and continues to set
new standards in the industry today. New
Zealand’s aviation history is said to have begun
in 1903, when Richard Pearse, a farmer and
inventor, first flew his monoplane aircraft in a
short but ground-breaking flight that arguably
pre-dates the first controlled flights made by
the Wright brothers.
Whether or not Pearse flew in any acceptable
sense by modern standards, and regardless
of the exact date of events, his first aircraft
was undeniably a remarkable invention.
It embodied several advanced concepts
including a monoplane configuration,
wing flaps and a rear elevator, tricycle
undercarriage with a steerable nose-wheel,
and a propeller with variable-pitch blades
driven by a unique double-acting, horizontally
opposed petrol engine.
New Zealand has continued to foster an
innovative approach to aviation throughout
the years where it has played a significant
part in pushing boundaries and challenging
conventions. Through the exploratory and
collaborative efforts of its industry, New
Zealand companies continue to be at the
forefront of technological advances across
the aviation sector, in diverse areas ranging
from the use of biofuels to the adoption of
advanced navigational techniques.
Our national airline, Air New Zealand, regularly
introduces innovative products & concepts
and consistently sets new standards across all
facets of its operations, continuing a journey
that is rich in history and driven by the same
trailblazing approach that has helped transform
the New Zealand Aviation Industry into the

EASA Part 147 Approved 27
Throughout the years, New Zealand has
continued to develop the use of aviation in
diverse activities including aerial topdressing,
forestry, agriculture and tourism. Today, the
New Zealand Aviation Industry has over 1000
companies and employs more than 23,000
employees. The industry is worth more than
NZD$10 billion and continues to grow
annually at around 9%.
Many New Zealanders practically grow up
with aviation in one form or another. Recent
statistics show there is one aircraft per
thousand people and New Zealand has a
per capita ownership of helicopters that is
amongst the highest in the world. With over
20.5 million square kilometres of uncluttered
airspace and varied terrain, it is an ideal
location for flying and aviation training,
offering much more in terms of flexibility and
opportunities than is possible in many other
parts of the world.
