AME Specializations Explained — Mechanical (B1) vs Avionics (B2)

Aircraft Maintenance Engineering isn’t a one-size-fits-all career—it offers exciting specialization options depending on your strengths and interests. The two primary paths are Mechanical (B1) and Avionics (B2)—each vital to keeping aircraft safe and airworthy.

B1 engineers focus on the aircraft's structure, engines, and mechanical systems. They are the ones who ensure the physical integrity of the plane. B2 engineers, on the other hand, specialize in the electronic systems, including navigation, communication, and radar.

At IIA Gurgaon, we offer comprehensive training in both streams. Whether you prefer the hands-on mechanical work of the B1 stream or the complex electronic troubleshooting of the B2 stream, our expert faculty and modern labs provide the ideal environment to master your chosen path.

"At IIA Gurgaon, we don't just teach aviation; we live it. Our mission is to prepare the next generation of engineers for the challenges of tomorrow's skies."
