What is Aviation Maintenance?

Aviation maintenance encompasses the repair, inspection, modification, or complete overhaul of an aircraft or aircraft component by an aviation maintenance technician (AMT). Aviation maintenance technicians ensure that aircraft comply with airworthiness directives and are safe and functioning during flight. This includes a multitude of tasks on both fixed wing airplanes and rotorcraft. These tasks include but are not limited to the structure of the aircraft, the internal system in the aircraft as well as maintenance to aircraft engines and their related systems.

Aviation Maintenance Training at Spartan

Our Aviation Maintenance Technology (AMT) program has been training aircraft technicians for nearly a century and is approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and meets the requirements established in Title 14, Part 147. Successful completion qualifies graduates to take the written, oral and practical tests with the Federal Aviation Administration for the Mechanic’s Certificate with both Airframe and Powerplant Ratings. The skills and information taught in the program are applicable to other maintenance industries and professions as well as aviation; therefore, certification is not required upon graduation. Though obtaining an A&P certificate is encouraged and provides additional options should you choose to pursue certification.

Hear From Our Graduates

After high school, Joel Brashear joined the US Air Force following in his grandfather’s footsteps. He later transitioned from active duty to school life and moved across the country 900 miles to attend Spartan. At Spartan, Joel was the president of Spartan’s AMT Society and competed in the annual Aerospace Maintenance Competition. In 2016, Joel received the James Rardon Aviation Maintenance Technician Student of the Year Award. This award recognizes the outstanding achievement of an Aviation Maintenance Technician student.

At Spartan’s April 2016 career fair, Joel was offered a position with Endeavor Air. Shortly after graduating; Joel garnered his A&P license and soon after that moved to Tennessee to start his career as an Aviation Maintenance Technician for Endeavor Air. Today, Joel also continues to serve his country as a member of the US Air Force Reserves.

Sample Aviation Maintenance Classes​

For every hundred hours that an aircraft is used, the aircraft is required to be inspected based on standards established by the manufacturer and the FAA. Training in our program not only teaches the skills needed to become an aircraft technician, but it can also help you develop a versatile skill set that is utilized in other industries, such as automotive and diesel, heavy equipment, power and light, and industrial technology. Much like other programs at Spartan College, our AMT program provides a balance between the lab and lecture.
