Standard Number: AV04-03-02 (Program Numbering System)
A Major Code of AV04 and a CIP Code of 47.060804 are applied to the Aviation Maintenance Technology, Diploma program.
Assignment of a statewide Major Code AV04 and CIP Code xx.AV04xx to the Diploma program is the basis from which statewide programmatic consistency is developed.
Each degree/diploma/certificate program complies with the assigned Major Code(s) established in the relevant program-specific standards of the State Board of Technical and Adult Education.
Each authorized degree/diploma/certificate program is assigned a Major Code and CIP Code.
Each degree/diploma/certificate program having a given Major Code is consistent with all other programs throughout the state that have the same Major Code.
Degree/diploma/certificate programs having multiple specializations are assigned a specialization Major Code for each option.
Standard Number: AV04-03-03 (Program Consistency and Sequence)
The Aviation Maintenance Technology, Diploma program utilizes essential course components consistent with statewide program requirements. Specific course alphanumeric identification Codes are assigned to each course. Students are required to progress through two course categories in a developmentally valid sequence.
Programs are assigned an identical Major Code AV04 and are consistent statewide. Each specific course is assigned an alphanumeric descriptor that serves as a statewide course identification code.
The Aviation Maintenance Technology, Diploma program is assigned a Major Code of AV04, and utilizes essential components designated for that program number statewide. Program components include, but are not limited to:
Aviation Maintenance Technology, Diploma
The program is intended to provide students with an introduction to the occupational area of aviation maintenance technology as currently understood and practiced by Federal Aviation Administration mechanic certificate holders with airframe and/or powerplant ratings. In addition, the combined powerplant and airframe curriculum is designed to provide students with the technical knowledge and skills required to diagnose problems and repair aircraft powerplants, both reciprocating and turbine, their systems and components; and airframes, both metal and wood, their systems and components. Satisfactory completion of all program courses entitles students to participate in FAA powerplant and airframe examinations and certification.
