Aircraft mechanics maintain and repair aircraft systems and their components. They oversee the operation of various aircraft types, including helicopters and jets.
Aircraft mechanics inspect mechanical, hydraulic and structural systems and diagnose malfunctions. They use power and hand tools to repair aircraft parts. Aircraft mechanics also ensure compliance with aviation safety rules and regulations.
- Performs regular maintenance on aircraft.
- Ensures proper working condition of mechanical systems before flight.
- Develops and maintains records of maintenance, repairs, inspections, and any reports related to parts or services.
- Inspects and examines engines, wings, propellers, tails, and other parts to identify cracks, corrosion, or other defects.
- Inspects hoses and lubricates joints; replaces any that show signs of needing repair.
- Consults maintenance manuals and specifications to identify correct operations and specifications for replacements or repairs.
- Installs new parts to replace or repair defective or recalled parts or to enhance the performance of the aircraft; performs these tasks efficiently and to specifications.
- Repairs sheet metal as needed.
- Ensures proper function of engines and operating systems via a variety of tests and tools.
- Identifies and resolves mechanical problems based on visual inspections or reports from pilot or crew.
- Collaborates, as needed, with airframe and power plant (A&P) mechanics or other appropriate personnel to repair engines and non-instrumental parts.
- Performs other related duties as assigned.
Using complex manuals and blueprints
Updating maintenance and repair logs
Running diagnostic tests
How do you become an Aircraft Engineer?
After successful completion of the course, participants will have the knowledge level to conform with Part – 66, European legislation and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) syllabus.
Our training academy has been in operation since 1969 and it was first set up to train aircraft technicians.
Now, our Graduates are among the top-placed graduates in the Aviation Maintenance Business, with many of them holding leadership roles within the worldwide aviation industry.
The available course categories in relation to the Aircraft Maintenance License (AML) Part 66 are:
License categories
- Category B1, divided into the following subcategories
- B1.1 Turbine Aeroplane
- B1.2 Piston Aeroplane
- B1.3 Turbine Helicopter
- B1.4 Piston Helicopter
- Category B2 Avionics
- The B2 license is applicable to all aircraft.
The documentation awarded upon completion of the course is called a Certificate of Recognition Basic Training Certificate.
This certificate is valid, and recognized, in all countries that are full members of the EU as well as in all other countries whose aircraft land in EU Member States.
Ωmega Aviation Academy Technical Training Benefits

Why E -learning?
You can choose any module, sub-module of Part 66, or complete basic training.
You can save money and time by using the eLearning method.
You can keep alive your normal daily activities while studying
Duration of Study
- This includes theoretical courses, practical laboratory courses at the premises of the Aviation Academy in Piraeus and practical laboratory courses at an aircraft maintenance organization at the airport.
- Part 66 examinations are performed at the end of each module. (DEGREE Basic training and examination course)
- Note: for AML you need 2 years of working experience in aircraft maintenance organisation.
Practical training
• The practical instruction means You:
– gain the capability to use relevant tools/equipment/test equipment as specified by manufacturers;
– learn the use of maintenance manuals in that You can carry out the required inspection/testing without missing any defects, can readily identify the location of components, and are capable of correct removal/fitment/adjustment of such components.
• The practical assessment means You:
– are only required to carry out enough inspection/testing and component removal/fitment/adjustments to prove capability;
– should also show an appreciation of the need to ensure clean working conditions and the observance of safety precautions for You and the product;
– should demonstrate a responsible attitude in respect to flight safety and airworthiness of the aircraft.
- Tutoring courses for graduate engineers or electronics to be succesful in the EASA Part-66 (Basic Exam course)
- Note: for AML you need 3 to 5 years working experience in aircraft maintenance organisation
- Additional opportunity to choose a short aircraft practical training in our workshop.
