FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS GIVEN FOR THE PILOTS AND AERONAUTICAL/AEROSPACE/AVIONICS ENGINEERING STUDENTS WHO ARE STRUGGLING FOR (PILOTS & AME) LICENSES PARTICULARLY THE STUDENTS OF CAMBRIAN INTERNATIONAL COLLEGE OF AVIATION, DHAKA, BANGLADESH.
ICAO – The International Civil Aviation Organization is was founded to set up international standards in aviation. When international air travel became more and more present (1947) there was a need have international regulations. The ICAO counts 191 member states and all have to adopt their guidelines or advice the ICAO of regional differences, which will then published by the ICAO.
FAA The Federal Aviation Administration is the aviation authority of the United States of America. It is responsible for setting up the federal aviation regulations (FAR), which are binding for all flight operations in the US. The FAA also provides air traffic control service at most control towers and all en-route air traffic control centers.
If you decide that you would like to be a Mechanical Engineer specialising in scheduled maintenance, restoration and re-fit of airframes, power plants, fuel systems and associated pneumatic, hydraulic and air-conditioning systems then you can select from both category A & B licence routes. The licence issued will show which category of aircraft it applies to – which will be one of the following:
B1.1 Fixed Wing: Aeroplanes with Turbine Engines
Turbine Engines: (often referred to as jet engines) and also called combustion turbines, are rotary engines that extract energy from a flow of combustion gas. It has an upstream compressor coupled to a downstream turbine, and a combustion chamber in-between. Turbine aircraft may be propeller or jet driven.
B1.2 Fixed Wing: Aeroplanes with Piston Engines
Piston Engines: (otherwise known as reciprocating engines) use fundamentally similar technology to those used by cars and motorcycles where pistons in cylinders are used to generate motive force for propulsion by turning pressure into a rotating motion. These engines are always propeller driven.
B1.3 Rotary Wing: Helicopters with Turbine Engines
B1.4 Rotary Wing: Helicopters with Piston Engines
If you are more electronically orientated and decide that you would like to be an Avionics Engineer specialising in scheduled maintenance, restoration and modification of communication, navigation, radar equipment; guidance and control systems including auto-pilot/auto-land and cabin entertainment then this discipline is only licensed at category B level.
B2 Avionic: Electronic systems fitted to all aircraft

(Please visit citations to know more)
To become a Licensed Aircraft Engineer, there are 3 licensing routes that candidates may follow, all of which have both basic knowledge and experience requirements that must be met before the regulating authority will issue a licence.
These are:
The approved course
The self-improver
Designation as a ‘skilled worker’
The Approved Course
must be taught by a training provider holding IR Part 147 approval issued by the relevant National Aviation Authority. AST is approved by the UKCAA.
must provide a minimum number of training hours, 800 for Category A and 2400 for category B.
must provide the required percentage of training hours for the development of practical skills on representative aircraft and systems, This includes On-the-Job-Training (OJT), at an IR Part 145 approved maintenance organisation. AST organises and supervises such OJT as well as providing basic skills training in its Hangar teaching facility.
