On April 20 each and every year, we would like to encourage Industry companies that employ Aircraft Maintenance Engineers (AMEs) to celebrate AMEs across Canada and their incredible efforts.
As we all know, without AMEs, pilots cannot fly the aircraft.
Let's all spread the word that every April 20th we should celebrate Canada's AMEs!
Why April 20th?
You may know of another topic that some people celebrate on April 20th but that is not what we are referring to.
On April 20th, AMEs celebrate Robert McCombie, who was the recipient of the very first Air Engineer License on April 20, 1920.
The date was established by a poll that was circulated to current Members of the 6 Regional AME Associations in 2022. The results of this poll may be seen to on this page (see "Proposed Date Poll" in the left column).
Please encourage your employer to celebrate AMEs on April 20 each and every year!
Please feel free to send any pictures of YOUR AME Day celebrations by sending the pics to: admin@ame-ont.com and we will post them to our AME Day webpage.
Happy AME Day!
