Admissions
The Aviation Center at Institute of Space Technology is offering internationally recognized academic program Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (AME) License with specialization in the fields of Aerospace (B1.1 & B1.2) and Avionics (B2).
The Aircraft Maintenance Engineering License program is a balanced theory and practical-based course for acquiring a license to work on an aircraft for maintenance, recovery and overhaul. This aircraft maintenance course is recognized by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and gives you access to the real aircraft experience. We are the only university in Pakistan that has integrated the industry- standard aircraft maintenance qualification ‘EASA Part-66’ to be delivered on campus.
Primarily, after passing the Aircraft Maintenance License (AML) Category : B1 (Aerospace) or B2 (Avionics) Modules courses and completing the required Practical and On-Job Experience, you will be able to obtain a Part/ANO-66 Aircraft Maintenance Engineer License from PCAA or EASA NAA’s with high prospects of job in global aviation engineering. The University has a unique partnership with Heinze Akademie, Germany through Aviation Center to meet EASA standards for quality education.
Our courses have the reputation for Outcome Based Education (OBE) viz-a-viz excellence due to the emphasis placed on students achieving high standards of theoretical knowledge to pass European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) approved examination. At Aviation Center our learning focuses on practical technical abilities developed through hands-on training on in-house ground worthy aircraft, Aero-Engines & related equipment.

Careers:
National: Air transport in Pakistan is forecast to grow in the next 20 years under the “current trends” scenario. This would result in an additional 22.8 million passenger departures by 2038. If met, this increased demand would support approx. US $9.3 billion of GDP and around 786,300 jobs.
International: Based on the Boeing pilot technician outlook respected industry forecast, in the next 20 years, airlines will add 44,040 new aircraft to the current 17,000 strong commercial fleet. By 2038, the industry will need 769,000 new technicians to maintain these aircrafts. Clearly, the international market has a huge requirement of Air Maintenance Engineers. AMEL graduates enjoy a high employability rate. With a career path tailored towards becoming Licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineers, they mainly work with airline engineering departments or support aircraft maintenance organizations.
