The Airframe and Powerplant Technician degree prepares individuals with the technical knowledge and stills for a successful career in aviation maintenance. Students will be taught through hands-on courses, beginning with general mechanical and maintenance principles in aviation and then use practical real-world training to understand, maintain and inspect systems of an aircraft and engine such as airframe components and materials, electrical wiring, hydraulics, avionics, fuel systems, propellers, engines, and more. Training will include the knowledge and skills to properly maintain records, follow regulations, and perform inspections. Students will be prepared for the FAA written, oral and practical examinations for Certification as an Aviation Maintenance Technician (AMT) with both Airframe and Powerplant ratings (often referred to as an A&P mechanic).
A grade of “C” (70%) or better is required for all program required courses and students must pass the Written, Oral, and Practical Examinations for the General Mechanic and Airframe or Powerplant ratings.
