Aeronautical Engineering
Four Years Degree Course
A.M.Ae.S.I at par with B.E/B.Tech.
Ever
since planes started flying in the
skies, aviation has been a glamorous
vocation sought after by many, but
achieved by only a few selected
persons. Aeronautical engineering is a
branch of engineering which deals with
the design and development of flying
vehicles in the air such as aircrafts,
helicopters, rockets, missiles etc and
operations of those vehicles.
Aeronautical engineering, in addition
to air vehicles makes valuable
contributions into the other
industrial fields such as ground
vehicles in the form of research,
development and design. Thus,
aeronautical engineers have various
opportunities to find a job in Defence
and aircraft industries to automotive
industry.
Graduates of aeronautical engineering
work in all areas of the aircraft and
airline industries. They also work in
other exiting areas such as motor
vehicle production and in the energy
industry. In India, large transport
and aviation companies employ
aeronautical engineers, as do the
smaller companies who produce
components and services. Air forces
across the globe also employ
aeronautical engineers.
Job
Prospects and career options
An Aeronautical Engineer can find
employment in various Airlines in
India and Abroad. Jobs are available
with the national, international
public and private airline services as
well as aircraft manufacturing units.
They can also join the Defence
Services, Airport Authority of India,
Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA),
Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO),
Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC),
Defence Research and Development
Organization (DRDO), National
Aeronautical Laboratory (NAL),
Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL),
Civil Aviation Department (CAD) and
also private Aviation Industries etc.,
as research Engineers / Maintenance
Engineers.
About
the course
The Government of India recognizes a
pass in the AMAeSI examination in the
Section A and B levels for the purpose
of recruitment to executive posts and
commissioned ranks in the services in
the appropriate field under the
Central Government. AMAeSI is
recognized by the Govt. of India as
equivalent to BE degree in
Aeronautical Engineering. Candidates
with AMAeSI qualification are eligible
to apply for any job in Aeronautics
where BE is prescribed as the minimum
eligibility qualification for the
post. They are also eligible to pursue
Post Graduate Courses.
As
there is great dearth of qualified
aircraft engineers in India as well as
abroad, candidates who successfully
complete this course will be able to
obtain lucrative jobs in aviation
firms.
The
examination for AMAeSI is conducted by
the Aeronautical Society of India, New
Delhi at various centres in India and
Hyderabad is one of them.
Students of AE course can also appear
and qualify as AMAeSI (Associate
Membership of Aeronautical Society of
India) which is fully recognised by
Government of India / State Government
/ Union Public Service Commission
(U.P.S.C.) / G.A.T.E. for M.Tech
admission / Hindustan Aeronautics
Ltd., (H.A.L.) / Indian Airlines / Air
India / B.H.E.L. / D.R.D.O. / N.A.L. /
I.A.F. / Coast Guard / Airline
Industries etc. / Birla Institute of
Technology, Ranchi / Madras Institute
of Technology and many other
Government, Public and Private sector
as equivalent to B.E / B.Tech
(Aeronautical Engineering).

Flytech Aviation Academy is the only
Institute in India, which imparts
practical training on live aircrafts
and exposure to the flying to its
Aeronautical Engineering students.
