The Aerospace/Aviation Technology-Aviation Maintenance Program aims to prepare students for a career in aircraft maintenance and repair. This curriculum is designed to provide students with the knowledge and abilities necessary to pass the written, oral, and practical tests for an airframe and power plant (A&P) mechanics license administered by the Federal Aviation Administration. Preventive maintenance is required of aircraft technicians, as well as troubleshooting, repair, install, or replace parts related to airframes and engines. Fixed and rotor-wing aircraft, as well as reciprocating and turbine engines, will be covered.
Aircraft mechanics and repairmen operate in hangars, on the flight line, or in repair shops, depending on the sort of work they conduct. They use a variety of tools, including hand and power tools, as well as sophisticated test equipment. The noise level is severe, and flight line mechanics are frequently required to work outside in adverse weather. Sometimes the job necessitates severe physical exertion. Aircraft maintenance professionals are frequently under pressure to keep flight schedules or reduce customer disturbance, but they must maintain high standards of workmanship in the process.
Career Information and Job Postings for Aircraft Mechanics and Service Technicians* * The US Department of Education now mandates institutions to give prospective students with Gainful Employment information, which includes consumer information on program fees, student debt, and completion. The above Career & Program information can be used to compare similar programs offered by different colleges.
After graduation, where will I be able to work?
The need for AMTs grows in tandem with the growth of the aviation industry. Because a large portion of the current workforce is approaching retirement, additional AMTs will be required to fill the void. AMTs have benefited from higher-than-average pay and great benefits, and job possibilities are anticipated to expand.
Is it possible for me to complete all of my course work online?
Here are a few reasons why the Aviation Maintenance Program at Salt Lake Community College should be your first choice:
Our AMT program has received FAA approval, which is essential to work as an airplane mechanic.
In the state of Utah, our program is one of only two aviation maintenance schools.
Our program is based in Salt Lake International Airport, which is the Intermountain West's aviation hub. We use our own Beech Raytheon Starship to teach students about composite materials and technologies.

The Aviation Maintenance Program in Aviation and Related Technologies is designed to prepare students for a career in aircraft and powerplant maintenance and repair. This curriculum is designed to provide students with the knowledge and abilities necessary to pass the written, oral, and practical tests for an airframe and powerplant (A&P) mechanics license administered by the Federal Aviation Administration. Aircraft technicians must conduct extensive inspections of airframes and engines, perform preventative maintenance, troubleshoot, repair, install, or replace parts related to airframes and engines. Fixed and rotor-wing aircraft, as well as reciprocating and turbine engines, will be covered.
Aircraft mechanics and repairmen work in hangars, on the flight line, repair stations, and fixed base of operations and out stations, depending on the type of job they conduct. They use a variety of tools, including hand and power tools, as well as sophisticated test equipment. To ensure flight safety, A and P's do extensive checks on airframes and powerplants. The noise level is severe, and flight line mechanics are frequently required to work outside in adverse weather. Sometimes the job necessitates severe physical exertion. Aircraft maintenance professionals are frequently under pressure to keep flight schedules or reduce customer disturbance, but they must maintain high standards of workmanship in the process.
The aircraft maintenance program requires drug testing as a condition of participation.
Aircraft technicians work on a variety of aircraft, including jets, propeller-driven planes, and helicopters, troubleshooting, inspecting, repairing, and replacing and installing parts. Although some A&P Technicians specialize in engines or airframes, the majority of technicians will be needed to work on all aspects of aircraft maintenance.
A&P Technician, Repair Station Technician, Lead Technician, Inspector, Aircraft Manufacturing, and Aerospace Engineer are just a few of the career options available. Long-term employment prospects are bright. There is a present scarcity of aircraft maintenance technicians, owing to a combination of attrition from retired employees and industry development. Because of the vast spectrum of training required to be an Airframe and Powerplant technician, numerous sectors, like as amusement parks, power and gas firms, are known to hire Aircraft technicians. The aviation industry is expected to employ well-trained, licensed employees with a strong experience in technical topics, according to employment estimates.
