Airframe & Power Plant Maintenance

Chandler-Gilbert Community College's Associates of Applied Science Degree in Aircraft Maintenance Technology is designed to prepare students for licensure as certified airframe, powerplant, or airframe and powerplant (A & P) technicians. The degree combines the technical aspects of the Certificate Programs with selected general studies courses in the areas of English, Math, Reading, Communications, Humanities and Physics.
CGCC Aircraft Maintenance Technology students are in high demand. During the last school year, 100% of those students interested in going directly into the work force were successfully placed in industry-related positions.
Employers seek applicants who are self-motivated, hard-working, enthusiastic and able to diagnose and solve complex mechanical problems. Employers prefer technicians who can perform a variety of tasks including writing, because aviation maintenance technicians are often required to submit written reports.
