AVIATION MAINTENANCE TECHNOLOGY
Program
Flight safety is ensured by highly skilled mechanics and technicians. Professionals in this field provide insight into a wide range of organizations and individuals who rely on aviation services. An Aviation Maintenance Technician is responsible for the repair, inspection, modification, or complete overhaul of an aircraft or aircraft component (AMT).
Graduates of the Midland College Aviation Maintenance Technology Program are prepared to work on aircraft components and systems such as the airframe, piston engines, turbine engines, hydraulic systems, propellers, rigging, warning systems, and environmental systems. Aerial structure inspection and testing; federal aviation regulations; aircraft and electronic flight instrument systems; aircraft auxiliary systems; aircraft welding; aircraft electrical systems; hydraulic, pneumatic, and fuel systems; and occupational safety and health codes are some of the specific areas of training.
Midland College's FAA Part 147 approved Aviation Maintenance and Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) program not only prepares you for a career as an aircraft mechanic, but it also provides you with a versatile skill set sought after in other industries such as automotive and diesel, heavy equipment, power and light, and industrial technology.
There is no need for prior expertise; our aircraft maintenance degree and certificate programs will teach you anything from replacing a tire to rebuilding a turbine engine. You will also learn about many types of aircraft, ranging from a small engine plane to a huge cargo plane utilized by major airlines. Students in our aircraft maintenance program can learn about Hydraulics and Pneumatics, Ignition and Electrical Systems, Fuel Systems, Pressurization, Aircraft Welding, and Turbine-prop and Jet Engines, among other things.
Those who examine, maintain, and repair aircraft must have an Airframe and Powerplant License, often known as an A&P License. Midland College will teach you the skills and knowledge you need to acquire your FAA A&P license. Midland College's aircraft maintenance program graduates now have a 100% pass rate.
Pursuing an Aviation Maintenance degree at MC, according to careeronestop.org, will provide valuable skills in the following areas:
Maintenance of Aircraft Technicians may work in aircraft repair, overhaul, or line maintenance. The following are the largest employers:
AMT technicians are in high demand. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the need for aircraft and avionics equipment mechanics and technicians is predicted to grow by 5% through 2026, owing to the need to replace individuals who retire or leave the field.
According to a 2018 Boeing Aircraft research, the maintenance, engineering, parts, and upgrades industry will rise by 4% per year as Maintenance-Repair-Organization (MRO) suppliers adapt and invest in handling new modern materials. This category is expected to account for 26% of airline spending. Shop maintenance, maintenance support, hanger maintenance, and line maintenance are among the occupations most likely to profit.
According to the Boeing report, "the 2019 Boeing Pilot and Technician Outlook projects that the civil aviation industry would need to produce roughly 2.5 million new aviation workers between now and 2038 to fly and service the rising fleet." This high demand is putting extra strain on the worldwide staff supply and affecting other industries of aviation."
