Our 19 month Aviation Maintenance program will<br />
train you to be an “A&P” (Airframe & Powerplant)<br />
mechanic. You will be eligible to test for your Airframe<br />
certification at the end of your first year, and your<br />
Powerplant certification at the end of your second<br />
year.<br />
As a student of this program, you can expect to be<br />
immersed in the mechanical, electrical and structural<br />
workings of airplanes. You’ll study a wide variety of<br />
subjects, including: physics, aerodynamics, welding,<br />
aircraft drawings, piston and turbine engines, aircraft<br />
structure, aircraft systems and more!<br />
The Aviation Maintenance program at LATI<br />
specializes in unique opportunities to strengthen your<br />
knowledge of aircraft performance and operation,<br />
including the chance to experience our Schweizer<br />
SGM-237— one of only nine in the world!<br />
Students of this program have the opportunity to<br />
complete the coursework necessary for an Associates<br />
of Applied Science (A.A.S.)Degree.<br />
Careers<br />
Wherever aircraft is being used, a liscensed aviation<br />
maintenance technician must be available to service<br />
