Black River Technical College Aviation Maintenance Technology program is certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to offer both airframe and powerplant courses of study.
Upon successful completion of the program, the student may be certified by the FAA as an Airframe and Powerplant Mechanic.
The combination Airframe and Powerplant mechanic can perform scheduled maintenance and repairs on aircraft as well as complete inspections required by the FAA.
The Airframe and Powerplant program is designed to provide 1900 hours of actual class time and provides training with the tools and equipment needed for proper instruction. Students will become familiar with turbine and reciprocating engines, used in aircraft, and airframe sheetmetal repairs.
The Associate of Applied Science degree in Aviation Maintenance Technology provides students with a broader education, which is sought by many employers.
Career Opportunities
Aircraft mechanics must do careful and thorough work that requires a high degree of mechanical aptitude. Employers seek applicants who are self-motivated, hard-working, enthusiastic, and able to diagnose and solve complex mechanical problems. Most employers consider graduates of post-secondary programs who have normal training to be the most desirable applicants.
Employers realize that individuals who have completed the aviation maintenance technology program have received the most up-to-date training possible in turbine engines, aviation electronics, and composite materials -including graphite, fiberglass, and kevlar - all of which are increasingly being used in the construction of new aircraft.
