Not really my area of expertise, but I did what I could. --NielsenGW 12:51, September 1, 2005 (UTC)

Military Experince

I have been commercial pilot, flight instructor, an aircraft mechanic for over 8 years, an I/A, and an intstructor in an aviation maintenance school. The part in the article about military experience being transfered is not quite accurate. As an instructor of many ex-military aircraft mechanics, I know that the FAA won't give much credit for military experience. The problem is that the FAA test is mostly about piston engine propeller aircraft and most military experience does not translate. Most ex-military mechanics still have to "apprentice" under a licensed mechanic for the 30 months or go to an aviation maintenance school to get the FAA approval to take the three written tests, three practical tests, and three oral tests. I'll work on finding an FAA memorandom on this subject.```` —Preceding unsigned comment added by Flyboy 1994 (talkcontribs) 21:24, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Aviation Maintenance Technicians Model Code of Conduct

It is proposed to include the Aviation Maintenance Technicians Model Code of Conduct (AMTMCC) http://www.secureav.com/AMTMCC-Listings-Page.html as an external link to "Aircraft Maintenance Technician". The AMTMCC was the collaborative result of key AMT industry organizations and experts, reflecting a shared view of the professionalism, safety, and educational goals of exemplary AMTs. The work product is neutral and accurate material relevant to an encyclopedic understanding of the subject. It is an essential restatement of the underpinnings of the AMT. Non-commercial and available to the public without fee, it is effectively a unique "tool box" for the AMT.

“We will incorporate the Aviation Maintenance Technicians Model Code of Conduct into the FAASTeam’s initiatives and toolsets to address accident causal factors and all other facets of aviation maintenance.” said Phil Randall, the FAA’s Ass’t National FAASTeam Manager. "The Code is easily adapted to any organization and applicable to anyone in the aviation maintenance industry. I urge everyone to use it.” said Prof. Jeff Gruber, A&P, IA, DME, and Chairman of the PAMA Technical Issues Committee.” John Hopkins, A&P, IA, the Experimental Aircraft Association’s Manager of Aircraft Maintenance stated that, “The vision and principles of the Code of Conduct will provide a lifetime of positive aviation experience to any AMT and any maintenance organization.” Tom Hendershot, Executive Director of the AMTSociety urged, "Addressing every sector of aerospace maintenance, the Aviation Maintenance Technicians Model Code of Conduct is a dynamic set of principals encouraging airworthiness, professionalism, and safety." Fred Digne, the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association’s National Safety & Standards Director stated, “The AMT Code of Conduct nicely compliments our Association’s objectives. While helping to enhance our profession and assist AMTs as they endeavor to maintain public confidence through, Knowledge, Skill and Integrity.” Michaelsbaum (talk) 17:17, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Per WP:CAPS and WP:TITLE, and because this is a generic, common noun, not a propriety term or a title, the article title should be downcased. See also Category:Transport occupations. Tony (talk) 06:11, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

Aircraft maintenance engineers

This article describes the qualification of aircraft maintenance engineer (AME) in some countries as equivalent to that of aircraft maintenance technician in the US and Europe. However, according to Aircraft maintenance engineer (Canada), there is an important distinction between the AME and the basic qualification of aircraft maintenance technician, in that the AME is qualified to inspect work as well as to carry it out. Which is correct? — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 15:34, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
