About Aircraft Maintenance Technology
Are you interested in a career in the aviation industry?
If you have ever ridden on an airplane, your safety was in the hands of aircraft mechanics and technicians who inspected and repaired that plane. Aircraft mechanics and technicians repair everything from wings to brakes to landing gear and electrical systems. They perform scheduled maintenance, make repairs, and complete inspections. The Bureau of Labor Statistics shows the mean annual wage for aircraft mechanics and technicians in the United States in 2019 was $67,110 and in California was $71,890.
