Airframe and Powerplant Maintenance

Program Overview

This curriculum is structured for students interested in acquiring technical knowledge and expertise in aerospace-related technology. The aerospace program is structured as a certification course designed to prepare students for obtaining their FAA license.

The maintenance technician keeps the aircraft in peak operating condition by performing scheduled maintenance, making repairs and conducting inspections as required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Students in the Aerospace Technology Program are expected to pursue aerospace technology courses on a continuous basis.

The order of course progression may vary depending on when the student enters the program. Special course scheduling may be necessary to ensure continuity of student training between the academic and technical components. These schedules must be approved by the program director.
