Saying it right

[a1rm4n]

I've not yet looked at the regulations for this but I've come across several ways that describe an aircraft engineer such as:

- Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (AME)

- Licensed Aircraft Engineer (LAE)

- Licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (LAME)

- Other terms like Aircraft Engineer/Technician/Mechanic

So I'm wondering if there's a summary anywhere about how you say it right it in each place given that there are several regulations around the world. If not, I would appreciate it if you can help shed some light on the official term from each regulation (EASA Part 66, FAA Part 65 etc).

Cheers!

Any other slightly more helpful ideas from anyone?

It's unanswerable.

Different countries, communities, branches of aviation have different terminology. The term "Engineer" is used quite differently in different places - as are "technician" and "mechanic". Also different places have different licences.

Basically, the right answer is the normal practice where you are at the moment.

Chartered Engineer / Incorporated Engineer / Engineering Technician are further titles used in the UK for another kind of Engineer, in the USA the equivalent to our CEng is PEng: Professional Engineer (does that mean that other Engineers in the USA are unprofessional? - I really hope not), whilst in Eire the equivalent of the British IEng is "Associate Engineer".

It would be great to have a world standard - but there isn't, and probably never will be.
