The Competition at MRO Americas 2026, presented by Snap-on
Look for team registration to open October 2025.
The 2026 AMC Competition @ MRO Americas takes place on the exhibition floor at Aviation Week Network's MRO Americas. Five-member teams will compete in maintenance events intended to test skill and knowledge required of an aviation maintenance technician.
All participants must register for a floor pass with MRO Americas. Only AMC competitors, coaches, judges and sponsors will have early access to the show floor starting at 8:00 AM. AMC visitors and guests will have access when the show floor is open to the public.
The schedule of events is as follows:
- 8:00 AM – 5:30 PM: Registration/Badge Pick-Up for MRO Americas (see all registration and exhibition hours here)

- 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM: Judge Briefing (judges only)
- 4:00 PM – 5:30 PM: Competitor Orientation (competitors, coaches, and judges only)
Orientation is not mandatory for competitors, but is strongly suggested that at least one team representative attend to pick up wrist bands, goodie bags, and submit any necessary liability forms. Guests are not permitted. Teams must review rules and scoring guidelines prior to the competition.
- 8:00 AM – 9:00 AM: Event Setup and Competitor Walk-Through
One hour before the competition begins, competitors will have the opportunity to walk around the competition floor to get a close-up look at each event and ask further questions. If practical and as time allows, that event's judge may offer tutorials to ensure all competitors understand the event criteria and requirements.
