About AME Association (Atlantic) Inc.
The AME Association (Atlantic) is an organization formed by people who work, or have
worked, in the various maintenance disciplines in the aviation community, in the Atlantic
Region. This Association is overseen by a group of volunteers who have been elected by the
membership to promote and advance the aircraft maintenance profession for its members.
The purpose of the association is to maintain and enhance the standards of professionalism of the
AME and the aircraft maintenance industry as a whole and to protect the rights and privileges of
the AME license. The association works with and is consulted by Transport Canada in the
formulation of new rules and regulations to promote the viewpoint of the AME. We have
representation on various committees and working groups involved with aircraft maintenance
and AME licensing.
A separate committee under the auspices of the association runs an annual Conference. This
workshop is a two-day event that features speakers on a variety of related topics, as well as, an
industry trade show with over forty booths from various companies, suppliers, manufacturers and
maintenance organizations. Attendance at the technical sessions during the conference may be
counted toward the recurrent training requirements required by Transport Canada, provided that
your employer has this conference listed in their approved manual as recurrent training.
The Purpose and Objectives of This Association Are:
- To promote and protect the profession of the Aircraft Maintenance Engineer.
- To develop, maintain and improve representation and consultation with regulatory bodies
that affect or may affect the profession of the Aircraft Maintenance Engineer. - To represent the views and objectives of the membership of the Association.
