Common Questions
What opportunities are available in Indiana as an A&P mechanic?
Rolls-Royce builds more of its products in Indianapolis than anywhere else in the world, including the AE 2100 turboprop engines that power the U.S. Air Force's C-130J Super Hercules and the new F130 engines being assembled there to re-engine the B-52 bomber fleet. Beyond that, FAA-certificated maintenance shops across Indiana can supervise on-the-job training where you log experience toward your A&P certificate under 14 CFR 65.77.
Do I need to attend an A&P school in Indiana?
No. Some of the FAA-approved Part 147 aviation maintenance schools in Indiana include Aviation Institute of Maintenance (Indianapolis), Vincennes University Aviation Technology Center (Indianapolis), Ivy Tech Community College (Fort Wayne), Purdue University (West Lafayette). You don't have to attend one — the FAA also recognizes documented on-the-job training under 14 CFR 65.77 as a path to A&P eligibility.
How on-the-job training works anywhere in the U.S. — the hours, the FAA tests, and what you need to start — is in our A&P on-the-job training guide.
