Aircraft maintenance in Maryland
Maryland's aviation sector blends the Baltimore-Washington airport market with a heavy federal and defense footprint. BWI Marshall is a major Southwest Airlines focus city driving line-maintenance demand, while the state's proximity to Washington, D.C. supports significant government and contractor aviation work.
Naval Air Station Patuxent River — the Navy's premier flight-test and evaluation center — anchors southern Maryland with deep aircraft maintenance, engineering, and test demand, much of it civilian. Wages run near or above the national median, especially for cleared roles.
Maryland's Part 147 training includes community college programs and the University of Maryland Eastern Shore's aviation offerings. Most are VA-approved, and the region's defense economy makes it a natural fit for transitioning military maintainers.

Becoming an A&P mechanic in Maryland
Maryland has 2 FAA-certified Part 147 Aviation Maintenance Technician Schools and 1 DOL-registered aviation maintenance apprenticeship. Part 147 programs prepare students to earn their Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) mechanic certificate through required curriculum and hands-on training hours, after which students must pass the FAA written, oral, and practical exams to become certificated. Registered apprenticeships offer a paid, employer-sponsored path — you earn wages while working toward the same A&P certificate.
