Frequently asked questions
Can I work as an aircraft mechanic without a Part-66 licence?
Yes. Mechanics perform maintenance tasks under the supervision of certifying staff, so no licence is required — what counts is a completed technical apprenticeship or equivalent training and hands-on Part-145 experience.
Does military aircraft experience count?
Absolutely — a military maintenance background is well regarded, especially on comparable aircraft categories. We help you translate military experience into the civilian terminology clients expect.
Can working as a mechanic lead to a Part-66 licence?
Yes — documented maintenance experience counts toward the practical experience requirements for a Part-66 licence, and many of our mechanics work toward their modules alongside project contracts.
What kind of contracts do you offer mechanics?
Mostly project contracts on base maintenance checks and modification programmes across Europe, the UK and the Gulf, typically three to twelve months, plus permanent positions with selected clients.
