Aircraft Airframe Technology<br />
Aviation maintenance technicians are a vital part of the aerospace<br />
industry workforce, inspecting, servicing <strong>and</strong> maintaining aircraft<br />
worldwide. The Aircraft Airframe specialty trains students specifically<br />
in major airframe components <strong>and</strong> structures such as hydraulics/<br />
pneumatics, l<strong>and</strong>ing gear systems, sheet metal <strong>and</strong> composite<br />
technology. Airframe technicians are employed by repair stations,<br />
contract maintenance facilities, general aviation maintenance, <strong>and</strong><br />
regional <strong>and</strong> national airlines. For quicker entry into the industry, an<br />
Aircraft Airframe Technician certificate is also available.<br />
Aircraft Airframe Technology is available at the Abilene, Harlingen<br />
<strong>and</strong> Waco campuses. Course sequence varies from campus to<br />
campus. Contact your local campus for details.<br />
