  • AIRCRAFT MECHANICS FRATERNAL ASSOCIATION

    The Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association is a craft-oriented, independent aviation union. It is not an industrial union and represents only aircraft maintenance technicians/engineers (AMT/AME) and related skilled trade groups actively involved in the aviation industry. These employees work directly on aircraft and/or components, support equipment, and facilities in accordance with the National Mediation Board (NMB) or Canadian Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) rules. AMFA is committed to achieving progressive improvements in wages, benefits, and working conditions and elevating the standing of the skilled professionals it represents.

    Become an aircraft Technician

    AMFA is committed to providing our members and those interested in the craft a means to research and secure the necessary aircraft mechanic certificate ratings (also commonly referred to as licenses) to maintain aircraft. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires these licenses to perform maintenance on aircraft and they are essential to our craft. The main licenses are known as the Airframe and the Powerplant (also known as A&P). They are aptly regarded as “licenses to learn,” because in our craft there is much opportunity to continue learning when one begins utilizing their education and training out in the field.
