What is B1 engineer?

What is B1 engineer?

Category B1 of Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (AME) License. The B1 licence is a mechanical based licence and permits the holder to issue certificates of release to service following line maintenance, including aircraft structure, power plants and mechanical and electrical systems.

What is a B2 engineer?

A B2 Licensed Engineer focuses on managing the necessary maintenance and repair checks concerned with the electrical systems and equipment on an aircraft. The B1 mechanics license focuses on engines and airframes, while B2 avionics centres around instrumentation and electrical/ electronic equipment.

What is a B1 licensed engineer?

B1 licensed engineers are specialist aircraft mechanics hired to plan, organise and carry out aircraft maintenance checks. These must be in line with an airline’s maintenance schedule, and when particular problems have been identified. Once qualified, B1 licensed engineers can work on aircraft engines and mainframes.

What is the difference between a B1 and a B2 engineer?

A B1 licenced engineer would work on jet engines and aircraft systems such as electrical, flight controls, hydraulics and pressurization. On the other hand, a B2 licenced engineer would be responsible for the aircraft’s electrical, instrument, communication and navigation systems.

What does an aircraft maintenance engineer do?

Aircraft maintenance engineering consists of two areas of study Mechanical (B1) and Avionics (B2). A mechanical engineer (B1) works on jet engines and aircraft systems such as electrical, flight controls, hydraulics, and pressurization.

What is the difference between a mechanical engineer and avionics engineer?

A mechanical engineer (B1) works on jet engines and aircraft systems such as electrical, flight controls, hydraulics, and pressurization. In contrast, an avionics engineer is responsible for the aircraft’s electrical, instrument, communication and navigation systems.

What are the different flight paths for different licence categories?

The following two schemes depict the most common paths and are for information only. The first scheme applies to Group 1 aircraft (B1 and B2 licence categories). The second scheme applies to other than Group 1 aircraft (B1 and B2 licence categories). NOTE: Aircraft groups are described in 66.A.5.
