This curriculum provides individuals with the basic knowledge and skills for a career as an aviation mainte- nance technician (AMT), generally known as an airframe and powerplant (A&P) mechanic. Depending on the program option the student selects, the AST program prepares the student for the written, oral, and practical examinations for the FAA mechanic certificate with either or both the airframe and powerplant ratings. Course work includes all the subjects required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) under 14 CFR Part 147. Students may enroll in certificate programs which qualify individuals for the FAA mechanic certificate with airframe or powerplant ratings, or both. The associate degree program requires completion of both airframe and powerplant courses and seven general college courses. Students who wish to continue their studies toward a four-year degree may wish to take MAT 161, College Algebra, instead of MAT 115, Mathematical Models, as the former course may transfer more readily to four-year institutions.
Students who possess the FAA mechanic certificate with either the airframe or powerplant rating, or who have obtained FAA approval for one of these ratings based on experience, may enroll in a program to obtain the other rating upon presentation of the certificate or signed FAA Form 8610-2. These students are not required to take AVI 110, Aviation Maintenance-General. Students who do not possess the FAA mechanic certificate with either the airframe or powerplant rating are discouraged from entering the program out of sequence, unless they possess considerable experience in the aviation industry (e.g., working under the supervision of a licensed mechanic, working at an FAA-approved repair station, or similar experience in military aviation). Each case must be evaluated by the department chair. Students must begin with AVI 110 as a prerequisite to airframe or powerplant courses. Advanced standing may be granted with department chair approval only if the student holds a valid FAA Mechanic Certificate with either Airframe or Powerplant rating(s) or possesses approval for same based on experience and holds a current and valid signed Federal Aviation Administration 8610-2 Form.
Graduates of either the certificate or degree programs should find career opportunities with fixed-base operators, repair stations, airlines, aircraft manufacturers, and government aviation entities. Some positions may require experience in the AMT field to qualify.
Program Outcomes:
Upon successful completion of an AST program option, the student should be able to: • Inspect and make repairs to aircraft structures and/or engines as allowed by the FAA
• Remove, repair, and replace aircraft and/or engine components within the limits prescribed by the FAA • Make entries in maintenance records as required by the FAA
• Understand privileges and responsibilities of individuals possessing FAA mechanic certificates
