The program requires 1,150-1,900 hours of instruction, approximately 60 percent of which is shop work. The first 400 hours of study are general aviation courses. The second phase of training is Power Plant Maintenance. This allows the graduate to work on all types of aircraft engines once the FAA license is obtained.
Objectives Develop in each student safe, clean work habits, attitudes, and skills.
Provide the student the opportunity to learn by doing under conditions similar to those in an aviation shop. Train students in aircraft electrical systems, hydraulic and pneumatics, and aircraft inspections. Students will also study all phases of power plants and their auxiliary systems. A thorough knowledge of the Federal Aviation Regulations is also learned. Develop knowledge and skills that are prescribed by FAA standards.
