Chartership....

Hi McAero,
You don't say if you are a graduate or have other industry qualifications, I see that you are 23. Now if you look at the RAeS website, under membership, you can link to GTRO for details of registering with the Engineering Council, broadly it is as follows,
join the RAeS in the grade of Associate Member (AMRAeS) or Member (MRAeS) and apply for registration with the EC, in the grade of Engineering Technician, Incorporated Engineer ( I.ENG ) or Chartered Engineer ( C. ENG).

Assuming that you are not a graduate, and have EASA B1/B2/C licences, then a typical grading would be,
30-40 years old, B1/B2/C licence, employed as a Supervisor or Manager level, this would be AMRAeS and I ENG.
40+ holding a very senior position, say CEO, MD then MRAeS and C ENG via the Technical Report Option.

The method of TRO is a personel review by the RAeS, and submission of an Enginering Paper. The synopsis will be assessed by two RAeS assessors, and if suitable the paper can be submitted, and if satisfactory, this is followed by an interview with the assessors. The RAeS will assist this by supplying a Mentor to help you prepare the paper by advising you on the rules and standards required.

The above is a rough guide, C ENG is a necessary qualification in some fields, if you wish to be an AAIB Inspector for example, as this is a qualification recognised by the Courts for example. In general aviation it is not so necessary, however it is considered to be a highly regarded level of achievement.
As an indication , the TRO has been running for 2 years, 23 Applicants have applied for registration in this time, and 1 person has completed the course, not so many you may think, this gives an idea of the standards set.

I would certainly advise anyone to look at the I ENG and C ENG route, it won't be easy or quick, and you will have to work hard, have a look at the website, if you need more gen give me a PM.
Once registered as C ENG it costs £26 per year for continuing registration.
Best regards,
