Chandler-Gilbert Community College Catalog & Student Handbook 2018-2019 139 Aviation Administration certification under Federal Aviation Regulation, Part 65.77. Students benefiting from these courses would include aircraft maintenance apprentices, pilots, kit aircraft builders, aircraft enthusiasts, and past and current military personnel who have worked in aircraft maintenance. Completion of the Part 65 courses may lead to an Associate in Applied Science in Aircraft Maintenance Technology degree. Students wishing to enroll in the Part 65 courses must have the permission of the Department or Division and will be accepted on a first-come, first-served, space-available basis only. JOB DESCRIPTION Aviation maintenance technicians inspect the engines, landing gear, instruments, pressurized sections, accessories, and other parts of the aircraft, and perform necessary maintenance. Technicians use precision instruments and non-destructive inspection equipment. They also repair sheet metal or composite surfaces and check for corrosion, distortion, and cracks in the aircraft structure. After completing repairs, mechanics must test them to ensure that they work properly. Aviation maintenance technicians must perform careful and thorough work requiring a high degree of mechanical aptitude. Frequently, they must lift or pull as much as 50 pounds. They often stand, lie, or kneel in awkward positions and occasionally must work in precarious positions on scaffolds or ladders. Noise and vibration are common when testing engines. Aviation maintenance technicians generally work 40 hours a week on 8-hour shifts around the clock. Aviation maintenance technicians who work on civilian aircraft are certificated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as airframe mechanic, powerplant mechanic, or combination airframe and powerplant (A&P) mechanics who can work on nearly any part of the plane. Although a few people become Aviation maintenance technicians through on-the-job training, most learn their job in one of the schools certified by the FAA under Federal Aviation Regulation Part 147. FAA standards require certificated schools offer students at least 1,900 class hours.
