Practical Maintenance Experience
Availability depends on the selected maintenance organisation and programme.
OJT is designed to give trainees practical exposure to aircraft maintenance activities under the supervision and procedures of the approved maintenance organisation.
Depending on the organisation and aircraft fleet, trainees may gain exposure to:
The exact tasks available during OJT depend on the maintenance organisation, aircraft type, trainee level and approved programme.
This OJT pathway can be suitable for:
A 1-year OJT programme provides an opportunity to gain structured practical maintenance experience in a professional aviation environment.
It may be suitable for trainees who already have relevant theoretical knowledge and require additional practical exposure as part of their individual licensing or career pathway.
A 2-year OJT programme provides a longer period of practical exposure and allows trainees to develop broader experience across aircraft maintenance activities.
The additional duration may provide greater exposure to maintenance tasks, aircraft systems, technical documentation and day-to-day maintenance operations.
The suitability and licensing credit of the OJT period depend on the applicable authority requirements and the trainee’s individual experience and qualifications.
Aircraft maintenance OJT can help trainees develop practical understanding of:
Gain hands-on exposure to aircraft mechanical, electrical and avionics systems.
Understand how maintenance tasks are planned, performed, recorded and reviewed.
Develop familiarity with aircraft maintenance manuals, technical records and applicable procedures.
Develop practical skills under appropriate supervision and within the organisation’s approved procedures.
Experience the standards, safety culture and working practices of a professional maintenance organisation.
The suitability and licensing credit of the OJT period depend on the applicable authority requirements and the trainee’s individual experience and qualifications.
For students pursuing an EASA Part-66 Aircraft Maintenance Licence, practical maintenance experience is an important part of the overall licensing pathway.
OJT can provide structured exposure to an operational maintenance environment and may form part of an individual’s practical experience pathway, subject to the applicable regulatory requirements and acceptance by the relevant competent authority.
Jetliner Aero can help candidates understand the available OJT pathways and connect them with suitable aviation maintenance organisations in the UAE.
The UAE has a significant aviation and aircraft maintenance sector, providing opportunities for trainees to gain experience in a professional and internationally connected aviation environment.
Training in the UAE can provide exposure to:
Availability of aircraft types, maintenance activities and positions depends on the selected organisation.
Requirements vary depending on the OJT provider and the trainee’s intended licensing pathway. Typical requirements may include:
Candidates should confirm their individual experience requirements with the relevant competent authority before starting an OJT programme.
After completing OJT, trainees can continue building their aircraft maintenance career by completing any remaining experience, examination, licence or type-rating requirements applicable to their chosen Part-66 pathway.
OJT stands for On the Job Training. It provides practical experience in an operational aircraft maintenance environment under the procedures and supervision of a maintenance organisation.
OJT programmes are available for 1 year or 2 years in the UAE, depending on the selected pathway and organisation.
The programme is conducted in the United Arab Emirates, subject to availability with suitable maintenance organisations.
Yes. OJT can be relevant to students pursuing EASA Part-66 qualifications, although the exact licensing credit depends on the applicable regulatory requirements and individual circumstances.
No. OJT is practical maintenance experience. Completing OJT does not automatically result in an Aircraft Maintenance Licence. Additional knowledge, experience and licensing requirements may apply.
OJT opportunities may be available for both B1.1 mechanical and B2 avionics pathways, depending on the maintenance organisation, aircraft and available training positions.
International candidates may be able to apply, subject to the eligibility, documentation, visa and other requirements applicable to the selected programme.
