2019 Aerospace Maintenance Competition Awards

Annual Olympics of Aerospace Maintenance

Promotes Profession and Attracts New Talent

Defines Highest Performance in Critical Safety Function 

The Aerospace Maintenance Competition (AMC) is the annual Olympics of the Aviation MX profession. It tests the skills- mental and physical- of the AMTs in 31 different skill areas with teams from six different sectors– educational institutions, commercial airlines, repair and manufacturing companies, general aviation and space.

 

AMC is the brainchild of the Honorable John Goglia, former NTSB member and the first member of the Board with a maintenance license!

 

 

 

 

 

This effort to advance this profession is so important that past AMCs have been reported here:

 

Aircraft Maintenance Competition promotes excellence in the craft and designed to attract future AMTs

 

The Super Bowl of aviation mechanics’ skills creates an audience of future safety professionals

The Atlanta AMC attracted a lot of good press, which may well attract candidates to join the profession:
