At first I was happy, but my happiness dissipated when I bumped into a senior aircraft engineer during a social gathering. It is quite disheartening to see many of our students taking up diploma or degree programmes in aircraft maintenance without realising that they would not be allowed to touch life aircraft if they don’t have the Professional Aircraft Maintenance Licence. Why are the authorities concerned not making this clear to those who wish to pursue aircraft maintenance programmes? I emphasise here that if you desire to be a professional aircraft maintenance engineer, then you should strive to do the right course, which is the Professional Licensed Aircraft Maintenance programme. Once again, I thank the senior aircraft maintenance engineer for his valuable advice.
