Advancement Prospects
Promotions depend in part on the size of the organization for which an aircraft mechanic works. The first promotion after beginning employment is usually based on merit and comes as a salary increase. Many companies require the mechanic to have a combined airframe and power plant certificate or an aircraft inspector's certificate to advance further.
