The Associate of Applied Science in Airframe and Powerplant Technician program prepares students to work in the aviation maintenance field. Students learn by taking practical courses, which teach them general mechanical and maintenance principles. These principles are reinforced through hands-on training to understand, maintain and inspect aircraft systems such as airframe components and materials, electrical wiring, hydraulics, avionics, fuel systems, propellers, engines and more. Course topics include properly maintaining records, following regulations, and performing inspections. Graduates will be prepared to test for certification as an Aviation Maintenance Technician (AMT) with both Airframe and Powerplant ratings. Potential careers include aviation technician, aviation inspector, aviation maintenance instructor and other aviation maintenance-related positions.
