With the Indian Government's Open Sky Policy declared in 1993, a good number of private airline operators appeared on the Indian aviation scene which was earlier the monopoly of Indian Airlines and Air India. A direct consequence of this development was the demand for qualified and experienced Aircraft Maintenance Engineers.
Education with proper training makes an individual perfect. Aviation industry is a sector where passenger’s safety is of great importance. Safety of passengers is in direct relation with the safety of an aircraft. The safety of an aircraft is in the hands of an AME as he is the person who certifies an aircraft to be airworthy. I always believe that aviation safety is learned behavior and it demands a constant focus and a true commitment from the people in the aviation industry.
It was at this critical juncture, VSM Aerospace, started an institute for imparting quality training towards preparing Aircraft Maintenance Engineers. The institute was approved in 1993 vide approval No. Q-3/BGLR/MISC/1307-09 by the Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) Government of India. VSM is one of its kinds in Asia with all required infrastructure for providing high standard of training. Over the time, the institute has made a reach for itself in the Aviation Industry in terms of excelling high quality AMEs. With a sprawling Campus and Hostel facilities, the institute caters to the needs of the students in all spheres, be it Academic, or extracurricular activities both in terms of sports and talent nurturing, backed by a highly competent team of faculty.
Course Structure:
List of course under CAR-147 (Basic):
Course Duration: The duration of above mentioned course is 2 years each, which is divided into four semesters of six months each, covering all the modules of respective category.
The entire course consisted of basic knowledge training, basic knowledge examination, practical training and practical assessment.
Course Fees with break-up: The details of fee structure for a candidate to be admitted in 2 years AME course in revised year wise with respect to an admission session under is analytical study by the board of admission control which is break-up with comfortable year wise installments. The fee structure is issued to individual admitted candidate for the information accord and fascinating them to apply for educational loan as required.
During my days in the Industry, I had observed that certifying the aircraft is a high profile job and requires proper training with in-depth knowledge of latest technology and safety awareness. If these qualities are inculcated in your character, they are inseparable throughout your life and help you make the best AME there is around.
VSM Aerospace AME training School, Bangalore, is a DGCA Approved AME institute and one of the best AME training Institute in India functioning since from 1994 having a wide alumni of students functioning as AME not only in India but also abroad. It is an Institution with best training aids, operational aircraft, engine, highly qualified instructors. The institute set up is based on the guidelines laid down and amended from time to time by DGCA. In civil aviation, the requirements and offers are large and institute provides exciting choice of AME programs in Aero planes, Power plants and Avionics Stream. Our academic staff continue to provide the highest standard of teaching to students and continue to defy industry odds with record placements year after year.
We Endeavour to create for ourselves a position in aviation industry where VSM Aerospace AME Training School gets recognized by values and its name, “VSM Aerospace AME Training School” becomes synonymous with quality training, knowledge, efficiency, quality work, good work culture, high moral values, self-motivated students and the faculty who are always in competition with themselves trying to set higher standards.
Sincerity never goes unrewarded. We are working for perfection. Our aim is to earn a reputation that our students are sought after in Aviation industry.
Every day we are in competition with ourselves, trying to do better than yesterday.
“Quality is our obsession and Success is a way of life.”
The European Aviation Safety Agency is the centerpiece of the European Union's strategy for aviation safety. Their mission is to promote the highest common standards of safety and environmental protection in civil aviation. In order to certify an aircraft fit for service, engineers must be in possession of an appropriate license.
This program offered by VSM Aerospace AME is designed to provide Aircraft Maintenance Engineers for the International Airlines that must certify their aircraft as per EASA standards, so they can certify each airplane before takeof as fit for flying. The EASA course is designed to provide our students with the proper knowledge and skill levels to excel in their chosen career field as an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer.
This training prepares our students with the knowledge and skill required to pass the Part 66 exam for different categories administered by EASA to gain employment in maintenance fields as Aircraft Maintenance Engineer. EASA Part-66 regulates the knowledge requirements for Certifying Staff in EASA Part-145 Approved Maintenance Organizations. EASA Part-66 defines the following categories of Certifying Staff:
B1 - Maintenance Certifying Staff - Mechanical
B2 - Maintenance Certifying Staff -Avionics
Please take into account that with all of these licenses, it is not just a matter of attending a course and you get the license; you also need to provide proof that you have completed the required amount of work experience within an EASA Part-145 approved maintenance organization or equivalent. Approved examinations have a 5-year shelf life, so you can study at your own pace, but please remember that within this time you also need to gain your experience and at least 6 months of the experience must be gained within the last 12 months before you apply for your license.
We are very proud of what we did with this airplane. When we bought it for training purposes, it was dismantled for shipping to our campus. Well, "dismantled" turned out to be more like "butchered". Under the watchful eye of our professors (and our resident bean counter-accountant for the costs of all the parts), our students with the help of a couple of experts familiar with this particular model, put it all together and made everything in it to WORK !!!
Organizations’ training program is constituted in 2 categories i.e. CAT B1(Sub Cat. B1.1) & CAT B2, as per the training procedure detailed in CAR 66.
As per CAR 66, the B1.1 Basic training program constitutes of 11 modules & The B2 Basic Training program constitutes of 10 modules. The training program is subdivided as 60% for theory i.e. 1440hrs and 40% for practical i.e. 972 hrs. Out of total of 2412 training hours for B1.1 and for B2 category 1440hrs for theory and 972 hrs of practical out of 2412 hrs have been planned.

VSM is one of the very few AME training institutes in Asia and in India which has its own light and heavy airplanes and helicopters on the property, for students to have "hands on" training - in addition to well equipped library and laboratories with parts and instruments. Of course, our excellent teaching staff, which makes all the difference in student's comprehension of the subjects, imparts the knowledge and discipline in equal measures. VSM is co-educational and we welcome ladies in the spirit of respect and equality.
With sprawling campus and well supervised on-site hostel facilities for students, the Institute caters to the needs of students in the academic and extra-curricular activities, both in terms of sports and talent nurturing. Backed by a highly competent team of faculty, the Institute also arranges six month "on-the-job" training in a government and private airline industry.
We have one of the best training facilities available, with plenty of equipment and machinery in the workshops to explore and learn the nuts and bolts of the profession
We have 3 helicopters, including a fairly new military jet machine that we fixed after a crash landing...indeed, a very rare opportunity for a reality check...In addition, we have 2 planes, one light and one heavy, jet engines, rotary engines, instrumentation, laboratories where we assemble and disassemble all sorts of aircraft components, computers and books.
Qualification for admission: For AME training course, the candidates shall have passed minimum 10+2/PUC with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics; or a three years diploma in engineering (Electrical, Electronics, Mechanical, Instrucmentation) or a higher qualification in science with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.
Method of selection: - VSM Aerospace admits the eligible candidates on first come first serve basis. The trainees shall produce a medical certificate before they are admitted to the training institute by a doctor possessing at least an MBBS degree. Candidates shall not have any physical disabilities or colour blindness, which may interfere in discharging the duties as an AME.
The courses shall start second or third week of July of each year or following working day incase of holiday.
Record of admitted students :- The admission process and document verification shall be completed by second week of August.
The name, address and photograph of the student.
Admission of Foreign Student : A foreign candidate should have qualification equivalent to the required Indian eligibility condition. The qualification equivalency certificate must be submitted before seeking admission. A candidate must produce the following documents at the time admission.
In civil aviation in India, like in all other countries, any maintenace activity either on aircraft, aeroengines or aircraft systems has to be certified by appropriately licenced engineers for whom the licence is to be issued by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), Ministry of Civil Aviation, Government of India. Such licenced engineers are called AMEs. The licences are given, after duly passing the DGCA examinations, in various categories such as described in the Syllabus for AME Examination.
Over the three year duration of AME course, consisting of five semesters of theory and practical training at the school and one semester of "hands-on" training in any Airline / Operator / Maintenance Base, you will learn to repair the faults and make the aircraft aiworthy.
To summarize, the licences are given after duly passing the DGCA examinations in various categories such as:
Category A (Minorschedule line Maintainance in Aircraft and Powerplant)
Category B1 (Aircraft and Powerplant)
Category B2 (Avionics)
Category B3 (Piston Engine non-pressurised aeroplanes of 2000kg MTOM and below)
Category C (Base Maintenaance covering B1/B2)
Be prepared to get your hands dirty from time to time, and live by a certain set of rules. While the dirt you can wash off (don't forget the nails...), the knowledge, discipline and good work habits will remain with you till the rest of your life.
This is all part of the Agragami Education & Experience package, together with 2 sets of uniforms to be worn for theoretical classes, and coveralls to be worn for practical workshop training. We also provide a college bag with a complete set of core books (plus tons of other library materials and web based LEARNING resources to keep you gainfully occupied 24/7 if you wish), and a tool kit containing different kinds of tools to enable you to perform practical work while you are getting your hands dirty.
We have well equipped Computer Labs and access to Internet in Yelahanka Campus as well as in Jakkur Campus.
Each campus has its own libraries relative to the courses offered at the location. Supporting books are available for every age group and course of study. We also have audiovisual equipment to assist in computer aided presentations, which faculty and students can use to present their work. The photo below shows the library at Yelahanka campus, for specific use of VSM Aerospace students.
Our Hostel offers bright rooms with bunk beds and individual desks and storage drawers for personal belongings. Each room has a modern bathroom with ample supply of cold and hot water, shower, flushed toilet with hand-held spray for personal hygiene, and a lavatory.Transport is provided to and from Jakkur campus. If you are interested in residing in the hostel, please download the hostel application form and submit it with your registration forms.
The three photos above show the Air Frame Lab. The airframe of an airplane is the basic plane without the power plant and other parts that are regularly replaced. The major parts of the airframe are the fuselage, wings, tail assembly, engine mounts, and landing gear (visible in the last photo, and yes, tires need occasional replacement). You will see how the pneumatic systems work that regulate the performance of these components
Motors, generators, rotors, windings, transformers, switches and all sorts of controls are available in our Electrical Lab to play with and learn the properties of electrical energy and amazing physics of its relationship with magnetism. There is so much to learn, that if you are trully interested, you can take a peek already into our library where we assembled some basic material, courtesy of US Navy.
In our General Engineering Shop we learn to work with hand tools to make sure the individual parts fit precisely. What you will learn here, you can apply anywhere. Our six girls shown here will never have to ask someone to help them to repair something. Even for guys it surely removes the syndrome of two left hands...
This professional Machine Shop has lathe machines, drilling machines, grinding machines and a milling machine.
This is the Piston Engine Lab. A piston or reciprocating engine, is a heat engine that uses one or more reciprocating pistons to convert pressure into a rotating motion. Opposed, air-cooled four and six cylinder piston engines are by far the most common engines used in small general aviation aircraft requiring up to 400 horsepower (300 kW) per engine.
These two photos above are our Radio Navigation Lab. The library materials we mentioned above will also give you some primer on that.

The Avionics Lab is closely related to the prevously discussed labs. While the "instrumentation" is what pilot sees, avionics are the "guts" behind everything and not necessarily visible. Avionics means "aviation electronics". It comprises electronic systems for use on aircraft, satellites and spacecraft, comprising communications, navigation and the display and management of multiple systems. It also includes the hundreds of systems that are fitted to aircraft to meet individual roles, which can be as simple as a search light for a police helicopter or as complicated as the tactical system for an Airborne Early Warning platform.

Flight instruments are the instruments in the cockpit of an aircraft that provide the pilot with information about the flight situation of that aircraft, such as height, speed and attitude. The flight instruments are of particular use in conditions of poor visibility, as in a cloud, when such information is not available from visual reference outside the aircraft. The term is sometimes used loosely as a synonym for cockpit instruments as a whole, in which context it can include instruments for engine, navigational and communication equipment. In other words, what you learn in the previous labs comes visually together in this one not only for you, but most importantly, for the pilot who has to rely on the presented information.
