Co-op Method No No

Apprenticeship Yes Yes

I. PURPOSE: The purpose of the programs in this cluster is to prepare students for employment or advanced training in the commercial and general aviation industry. Instruction is designed to prepare students for Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) license examinations for Airframe and Powerplant ratings. Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 147 identifies minimum requirements for AMT schools. Any changes to the FAA-approved course content must be approved in advance. The programs in this cluster prepare students for employment as an Aviation General Maintenance Technician Helper, an Aviation Maintenance Technician with FAA Airframe Rating, and an Aviation Maintenance Technician with FAA Powerplant Rating.

This cluster focuses on broad, transferable skills, stresses understanding of all aspects of the aviation maintenance industry, and demonstrates elements of the industry such as planning, management, finance, technical and production skills, underlying principles of technology, labor issues, community issues, and health, safety, and environmental issues.

II. CLUSTER STRUCTURE: This cluster is a planned sequence of instruction consisting of two programs with one common core and three occupational completion points. With this sequence, a student may complete specified portions of the cluster for employment or continue to advance training. A student who fulfills the applicable competencies at any occupational completion point may terminate and still be considered an occupational completer.

AVIATION MAINTENANCE TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM

III. LABORATORY ACTIVITIES: Classroom, shop, and laboratory activities are an integral part of this program. FAR Section 147.21(e) requires teaching of at least 50 percent of the curriculum in the shop or laboratory. These activities include instruction in the use of safety procedures, tools, equipment, materials, and processes found in the industry. Equipment and supplies should be provided to enhance hands-on experiences for students in the chosen occupation.

IV SPECIAL NOTE: SkillsUSA, Inc. is the appropriate Career and Technical Student Organization (CTSO) for providing leadership training and for reinforcing specific career and technical skills. Career and Technical Student Organizations shall be an integral part of the career and technical instructional program, and the activities of such organizations are defined as part of the curriculum in accordance with Rule 6A-6.065, FAC.

This cluster is offered in postsecondary adult vocational (PSAV) courses. Vocational credit shall be awarded to the student on a transcript in accordance with Section 1001.44 (3) (b) F.S. A student may elect to progress from one level to another without repeating the Aviation General courses. Aviation General is considered completed once all of the courses are passed. FAA license exams for ratings in an advanced program (Airframe or Powerplant) may be taken only after completion of both Aviation General and the advanced instruction. To become an Aviation Maintenance Technician with Airframe and Powerplant ratings, a student must complete both Airframe and Powerplant levels of instruction and pass the FAA exams.

Federal and state legislation requires the provision of accommodations for students with disabilities to meet individual needs and ensure equal access. Adult students with disabilities must self-identify and request such services. Students with disabilities may need accommodations in such areas as instructional methods and materials, assignments and assessments, time demands and schedules, learning environment, assistive technology and special communication systems. Documentation of the accommodations requested and provided should be maintained in a confidential file.

Required FAA exams include GENERAL written, oral, and practical; AIRFRAME written, oral, and practical; and POWERPLANT written, oral, and practical. The only way a person can get authorization to take these examinations is to (1) graduate from an approved school or (2) obtain permission from the FAA to take the test based on prior experience on certified aircraft. Schools cannot grant permission (FAA FAR, Part 65 and Part 147, Subpart C 147.31).

Since an Aviation Maintenance Technician School (AMTS) is certified and inspected by the FAA, satisfaction of FAR Part 147 requirements should be the primary concern of an AMTS. When local and state educational requirements conflict with the FAA's regulation of an AMTS, those requirements must be resolved to satisfy FAR Part 147. In other words, FAA standards take precedence over other requirements. The FAA specifies minimum hours required and encourages schools to exceed minimum standards for the curriculum. The course content specified by the FAA may not be lowered.

"FAA FAR Part 147" identifies standards required by the FAA. Minimum teaching levels expected by the FAA also appear:

Level 1: knowledge of general principles

Level 2: knowledge of general principles and limited practical application

Level 3: knowledge of general principles with a high degree of practical application and hands-on skill levels according to FAA FAR Part 147: For subjects taught at Level 3, all special tools required to meet “return to service” standards must be in satisfactory working condition, properly calibrated/tested, and of the proper kind for the purpose for which they are intended. Tools should include an adequate supply of special tools appropriate to the ratings and curriculum. If students are required to provide hand tools, then the school should list the specific tools with the curriculum and provide a copy of this list to the students. Shop equipment and special tools should be maintained in good working order and be in a condition for safe operation.

All tools and equipment should be maintained in good working order and be in a condition for safe operation. The types of tools and equipment required for Aviation General, Airframe, and Powerplant teaching include the ones listed below:

Common hand tools, portable tools, precision tools, machine tools, torquing tools, shop equipment and machinery, specialized tools and equipment, airframe structures, aircraft, airframes, powerplants, propellers, and components of this equipment

FAA FAR Part 147 states: Each certified Aviation Maintenance Technician school shall provide facilities, equipment, and material equal to the standards currently required for the issue of the certificate and rating that it holds.

Refer to FAA FAR Part 147 and industry publications for more information about required levels of proficiency, hours of instruction, and updates to occupational titles and training requirements. Keeping pace with the standards of industry and maintaining a high quality of training requires ongoing linkages with industry and FAA representatives.

Cooperative training - OJT is appropriate for this program. Whenever cooperative training - OJT is offered, the following are required for each student: a training plan, signed by the student, teacher, and employer, which includes instructional objectives and a list of on-the-job and in-school learning experiences; a workstation that reflects equipment, skills and tasks that are relevant to the occupation which the student has chosen as a career goal. The student must receive compensation for work performed.

In accordance with Rule 6A-10.040, FAC, the minimum basic-skills grade levels required for adult vocational students to complete this program are: Mathematics 10.0, Language 9.0, Reading 10.0. These grade-level numbers correspond to grade-equivalent scores obtained on one of the state-designated basic-skills examinations. If a student does not meet the basic-skills level required for completion of the program, remediation should be provided concurrently through Vocational Preparatory Instruction (VPI). Please refer to the Rule for exemptions.

V. SCANS Competencies: To accomplish the Secretary's Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills (SCANS) competencies, instructional strategies for this cluster must include methods that require students to identify, organize, and use resources appropriately; to work with each other cooperatively and productively; to acquire and use information; to understand social, organizational, and technological systems; and to work with a variety of tools and equipment. Instructional strategies must also incorporate methods to improve students' personal qualities and higher-order thinking skills.

When a secondary student with a disability is enrolled in a career and technical class with modifications to the curriculum framework, the particular outcomes and student performance standards, which the student must master to earn credit, must be specified on an individual basis and consistent with federal regulations. The job or jobs for which the student is being trained should be reflected in the student's desired postschool outcome statement on the Transition Individual Educational Plan (Transition IEP).

To be transferable statewide between institutions, this program/course must have been reviewed, and a "transfer value" assigned the curriculum content by the appropriate Statewide Course Numbering System discipline committee. This does not preclude institutions from developing specific program or course articulation agreements with each other.

When this program is offered at the postsecondary level it may be offered in courses. Vocational credit shall be awarded to the student on a transcript in accordance with Section 1001.44(3) (b), F.S.

At the secondary level, Secondary courses, which include the core, are:

AVIATION MAINTENANCE GENERAL - 4 secondary credits (480 hours FAA required minimum). These courses may be used as part of “Powerplant” or “Airframe”. The outcomes and student performance standards are the same as “General”. The courses can be used only once for secondary students enrolled in either “Powerplant” or “Airframe”.
