For any engineer role ( I consider Avionic Technician) you need to be 16 and 6 months as an entry requirement but in September I will be 16 and 5 months and I don't want to wait till March can I go to AFC Harrogate in September?

Ali,
You must be older than 15 years and 9 months to apply for the Army. You need to be between 16 and 17 years, 5 months when you start. I believe the entry requirement you are referring to is the requirement for REME Aircraft technician training which comes after Harrogate. Harrogate is a 6 month course so if you start at 16Y and 5 months of age you will finish at 16Y and 11 months putting you well within the entry requirement for this role.
Hope this helps. -

Thank you for the answer?
So in the Engineering roles where it says Step 2 that is where I need to be 16 and 6 months and not at the time of joining AFC Harrogate. -

Yes i believe that would be the case as the entry requirement for Harrogate is that you need to be between 16 and 17 years of age, step 2 is your trade training with the REME.
All the best. -
