Aviation Maintenance offers both a two year accelerated pathway and a three year pathway.
-
2 Year Pathway: Accelerated General Aircraft Maintenance I & II
This course covers basic subjects, such as mathematics for aviation, basic physics for aviation, and basic electricity. In addition, this course will provide a foundation for further studies in the aviation maintenance pathway including the FAA coursework for General Aviation Mechanics.
Prerequisites: Algebra I (Suggested)
Grades: 11-12
Length: 1 Year (meets daily)
Credits: 4 Credits (2 CTE / 1 Math / 1 Physical Science)
Certifications: Snap-on Multimeter, Snap-on Torque, Snap-on Torque Measurement
-
2 Year Pathway: Airframe I (Summer Course)
This course builds on General Aircraft Maintenance I & II. This course will cover wood structures, aircraft coverings, non-metallic structures, and aircraft finishes.
Prerequisites: General Aircraft Maintenance I & II
Grades: 11-12
Length: 7.5 hours per day, 20 days
Credits: 1 Credit (1 CTE)
-
2 Year Pathway: Airframe II & III
In Airframe II & III, students will continue their study of Airframe Maintenance. Topics include aircraft sheet metal, electrical systems, hydraulic and pneumatic power systems, fuel systems, water and waste systems, and landing systems.
Prerequisites: General Aircraft Maintenance I & II; Airframe I is recommended
Grades: 11-12
Length: 1 Year (meets daily)
Credits: 4 Credits (3 CTE / 1 Math B)
-
2 Year Pathway: Aiframe IV (Summer Course)
This course is the conclusion of Airframe Maintenance. Topics for the class include instrument systems, communication and navigation systems, and inspection processes.
Prerequisites: General Aircraft Maintenance I & II & Airframe I, II & III
Grades: 12
Length: 7.5 hours per day, 20 days
Credits: 1 Credit (.5 CTE / .5 Physical Science)
Certifications: After completing this final course in the pathway, Airframe IV, students may be eligible to take 2 FAA written tests: General and Airframe. Once the written tests are passed, students may be eligible to take an oral and practical test with a Designated Mechanic Examiner (DME). Contact the instructor for further details.

3 Year Pathway: General Aircraft Maintenance 1
This course is an introduction to foundational subjects, such as mathematics for aviation, physics for aviation, and basic electricity. In addition, this course will provide for further studies in the aviation maintenance pathway including the FAA coursework for General Aviation Mechanics.
Prerequisites: Algebra I (Suggested)
Grades: 10-12
Length: 1 year
Credits: 2 credits (1 CTE / 1 Math B)
Certifications: Snap-on Multimeter
-
3 Year Pathway: General Aircraft Maintenance 2
This course builds on the subjects addressed in General Aircraft Maintenance I and prepares the student to begin Airframe. The class prepares students for the General Aircraft Maintenance portion of the FAA Part 147 Aviation Mechanics exam.
Grades: 11-12
Prerequisites: General Aircraft Maintenance 1
Length: 1 Year
Credits: 2 Credits (1 CTE / 1 Physical Science)
Certifications: Snap-on Torque, Snap-on Precision Measurement
