1. In general, you usually need a high school diploma.
2. You usually need a college program in aircraft maintenance or a four-year apprenticeship program.
3. To be an aircraft mechanic, you need several years' on-the-job training.
4. To be an aircraft mechanic or inspector, who signs maintenance releases and certifies airworthiness, you also need an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (AME) licence issued by Transport Canada.
5. Trade certification for aircraft maintenance engineers is available, but voluntary, in the Northwest Territories.
6. Trade certification for aircraft structural technicians is available, but voluntary, in British Columbia.
The average hourly wages for Aircraft Mechanics and Aircraft Inspectors is $23.45/HR, which is above average for occupations in the trades, transport and equipment operators sector and above average for all technical, professional, and skilled occupations. These wages grew at an average rate from 2002 to 2004.
