Aircraft Equipment Mechanic Career Specializations
Some mechanics work on one or many different types of aircraft, which may include jets, propeller-driven airplanes and helicopters. Others specialize in one section of a particular type of aircraft, such as the engine, hydraulics or electrical system.
Power plant mechanics are authorized to work on engines and do limited work on propellers.
Airframe mechanics are authorized to work on any part of the aircraft except the instruments, power plants and propellers.
Combination airframe-and-power plant mechanics are called A&P mechanics. These jobholders work on all parts of the plane except instruments. The majority of mechanics working on civilian aircraft are A&P mechanics.
