Aviation mechanic career guide

Pay snapshot: national median $79,870 a year ($38.40/hr); 10th–90th percentile $48,780–$128,890. Occupation: Aircraft Mechanics and Service Technicians (SOC 49-3011), BLS OEWS May 2025. See the full aircraft mechanic pay guide with state table.

What aviation mechanics do

Aircraft mechanics and service technicians inspect, maintain and repair airplanes and helicopters: engines, airframes, landing gear, hydraulics and flight controls. Aircraft electricians and avionics techs work on wiring, instruments and electronic systems. Every task follows maintenance manuals and must be documented.

Many listings on this page are federal civilian and National Guard (Title 32) jobs maintaining military aircraft. They often list pay grades and benefits up front.

How to get hired

Civil aviation employers usually require an FAA Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) certificate, earned through an FAA-approved (Part 147) school or documented work experience, then written, oral and practical exams. Military maintenance experience counts toward eligibility and is valued by federal employers.

Federal job announcements spell out their own qualification rules. Some Title 32 technician jobs require Guard membership, so read the "Who may apply" section of each listing.

Career ladder

Mechanic, then inspector (an FAA Inspection Authorization helps), then lead or crew chief, then supervisor or maintenance manager. Avionics, engines and specific aircraft types are common specialties.

FAQ

Do I need an A&P to work on aircraft?

For most civil aviation maintenance, yes, or you work under the supervision of a certificated mechanic. Federal and military jobs list their own qualification requirements.

What is a Title 32 job?

A National Guard technician position. Many require you to be, or become, a member of the Guard unit. Check each listing.
