This program
prepares students to enter employment
as a certified airframe and powerplant
technician in the aircraft maintenance
industry. Training is given in the
overhaul of various airframes and
powerplants and their components.
Completion of this program leads
to an Associate in Science Degree.
Two state-awarded certificates are
also available upon successful completion
of this program – one certificate
in Airframe Maintenance Technology and
one certificate in Aircraft Powerplant
Maintenance Technology. Excellent oportunities
for employment exist in this area of
training. Certain administrative, quality
control, and flight personnel careers
require the applicant to hold a valid
A & P Certificate.
This program offers
a day (full-time) or evening
(part-time) program option. The
only difference between the two
options is the course numbering
and time required to complete the
program. Day program courses AIRM
65A and 65B are equivalent to evening
program courses AIRM 95A, 95B, 96A,
96B, 97A, 97B, 98A, and 98B. Day
program courses AIRM 66A and 66B
are equivalent to evening program
courses AIRM 90A, 90B, 91A, 91B,
92A, 92B, 93A, and 93B. The evening
program courses are offered in 9-week
modules.
Successful completion
of this program enables students
to take the FAA examinations in
Airframe, General, and Powerplant.
Passing the General Exam plus the
Airframe and/or Powerplant Exam
provides certification as an Aircraft
Maintenance Technician, which is
required for employment in this
field. Students desiring a Bachelor’s
Degree (transfer program) should
consult with a counselor or advisor
to discuss transferability of courses.
