Title: Aviation Maintenance Technician Program


1
Aviation Maintenance Technician Program
  • San Diego Miramar College

2
  • The purpose of the Aviation Maintenance
    Technician Program at Miramar is to train
    technicians to perform all levels of maintenance
    and inspections on our nations aircraft.
  • Objectives and standards for the Program are set
    by Federal Regulations administered by the
    Federal Aviation Administration.

3
  • Completion of the Program allows the student to
    take the written and oral/practical tests for an
    FAA Mechanics Certificate with an Airframe and
    Powerplant Rating.
  • The Program is 1900 hours long and results in 78
    units of College credit, along with a Certificate
    of Completion from the College.
  • The student can also receive an Associate of
    Science Degree with an additional 18 units of
    General Education courses.

4
  • The Program is broken into three major sections
  • General
  • Airframe
  • Powerplant
  • Each section is further broken into individual
    subject classes
  • This allows students the flexibility to adjust
    their courseload to fit their time requirements.

5
  • Full-time students are placed on a track,
    beginning with the General section.
  • After completing the General classes the student
    will enter into either the Airframe or the
    Powerplant track.
  • Once the classes on that track are completed the
    student will register for classes in the
    remaining track.
  • Classes are given both day and night in order to
    accommodate students schedules.

6
General
  • Courses in the General section of the Program
    focus on entry-level skills, such as hardware
    familiarization, safetying, weight and balance
    calculations, and precision measuring.
  • Students learn about flight theory and
    terminology, control surface functions, and
    aircraft structures.
  • D.C. electrical circuitry and fire protection
    circuitry are also taught here.

7
Airframe
  • Airframe classes include sheet metal fabrication,
    working with fabric and composite materials, and
    aircraft rigging.
  • Airframe systems such as hydraulics, landing
    gear, cabin atmosphere, and electrical are also
    taught in this section.

8
Powerplant
  • The powerplant section is devoted to engines and
    their support systems.
  • Theory and application for both reciprocating
    piston engines and turbine engines are covered in
    this section.
  • Support systems covered include induction and
    fuel metering, ignition and starting, batteries,
    and propellers, along with lubrication, cooling,
    and exhaust.
