Approvals:
Memberships:
Graduates are provided certification granting eligibility for either the Federal Aviation Administration's Airframe, Powerplant, or the combined Airframe and Powerplant ratings. Other training is offered for those already holding FAA certification who seek additional ratings such as inspection authorization, and renewals and recurrent training to retain existing FAA ratings. TSA also offers test preparation and refresher training to individuals prior to taking the Federal examinations.
Airframe and Powerplant Curriculum:
Our curriculum provides maximum flexibility for the student seeking certification for the FAA ratings. Students may work toward the powerplant certificate, the airframe certificate, or both. The general subjects are required prerequisites for any combination of certification. In all curriculum areas, the training given at the school exceeds the minimum requirements of the federal regulations. Training is a combination of classroom and shop work. The student is first instructed in the theory of the subject in the classroom and then applies the theory in an actual shop environment using real aircraft components and systems.
General:
 |
In the general subjects portion of the curriculum the student is taught the basic information needed to be successful in the airframe and powerplant segments. The subjects of the general segment include the ground operation and servicing of aircraft, corrosion control, aviation and aircraft materials and processes, fluid lines and fittings, maintenance forms and aircraft records, basic electricity, aircraft weight and balance, mathematics and physics related to aircraft, maintenance publications for aircraft, and aircraft drawings. |
Airframe:
 |
In the airframe segment the student receives instruction in aircraft structures of all types, fuel systems, fire protection systems, ice and rain control systems, landing gear, hydraulic an pneumatic systems, cabin pressurization and atmospheric controls, aircraft sheet metal, welding, instrumentation, electrical systems, aircraft assembly and rigging, communication and navigation systems, position and warning systems, and airframe inspections. In this segment the student will ground operate a live aircraft under guidance. |
Powerplant:
 |
The powerplant segment focuses on the theory of aircraft engines. In a shop environment the student overhauls aircraft piston engines, jet engines, propellers and unducted fans, engine cooling systems, and fuel systems. Students perform engine inspections, and learn the mechanics of engine lubrication systems, engine electrical systems, turbocharging and supercharging, engine tear down and assembly, auxiliary power units, engine instrumentation systems, engine fuel systems such as carburetors, fuel injection and jet engine fuel controls. The student also receives instruction in non-destructive testing procedures used in aircraft component rebuilding and certification. In this segment, students also start and test run aircraft piston and jet engines in engine test cells located on the school grounds. |
