Abstract

This study evaluates the best practices of on-the-job training (OJT) in aircraft maintenance, with a focus on the training experiences of students at Indiana Aerospace University (IAU). Recognizing the critical role of Aircraft Maintenance Technicians (AMTs) in ensuring aviation safety, the research aims to assess current OJT practices, identify existing challenges, and propose actionable improvements. Employing quantitative research design, the study surveyed 50 fourth-year AMT students who had completed their OJT, selected through stratified random sampling. Data was gathered using structured questionnaires covering training quality, safety protocols, and human factors. Results revealed that while IAU’s OJT program is generally well-implemented, notable gaps persist. These include insufficient specialized training tailored to individual learning needs, limited support for workload management, inadequate attention to trainee well-being, and inconsistencies in enforcing safety measures such as personal protective equipment (PPE) use. Based on these findings, the study recommends the adoption of personalized training strategies, increased instructor support, enhanced focus on trainee welfare, and stricter implementation of safety protocols. These improvements aim to further align IAU’s OJT practices with the demands of the aviation industry.
