Purpose:
The primary purpose of this course is to meet the Federal Aviation
Administration requirements for certification as an Airframe and Powerplant
Maintenance Technician.
Topics:
See attached Reading Assignment and Exam
Schedule
Grading Basis:
Because the Aviation Maintenance Technician Program is both a community
college curriculum and a Federal Aviation Administration approved curriculum at
the same site, two grading systems are used. The FAA subject scores are computed as
follows: A percent score will be used to compute all graded work where
possible. Lab projects may also be
graded on the basis of airworthiness, safety, ability to follow instructions,
and professional approach to each project. When each subject is completed,
the instructor will combine all lecture and lab scores in that subject and
convert it to a percent score.
Wherever possible, lecture and lab scores will be weighted equally. This score is the FAA Subject
Score. Important Note: Each one of the 44 FAA subject scores
must be at or above 70% to receive credit toward the Airframe and Powerplant
Certificate. The College grade
has no bearing upon meeting the FAA
guidelines.

To
arrive at the FAA subject score, add the lecture and the lab percents together,
then divide by two. This will result in a 79.17% “sample” subject
score.
The College final grade is computed
differently. Each completed subject
score is “weighted” in proportion to the number of hours of instruction it
contains. These weighted scores are
then combined with the College final exam, which is 20% of the final grade. This score is the College
Grade. The college grade is simply an average of all work completed
in the course.

To
arrive at the College grade, multiply each subject grade times the factor
determined by course length, and add the scores together. Then add in the final exam score
weighted at 20% of the total score.
The College letter grade scale is as follows:
100-92% = A; 91-83% = B;
82-70% = C;
69-60% = D;
59-0% = F
Attendance Policy:
Students are expected to meet in the assigned area for roll call in the
Aero building no later than 7:30 AM each day. A student missing more than 15
hours in any nine week “course” must be
dropped from that Aero Course.
LATE ARRIVAL TO
CLASS: Since good work habits are needed to
become a successful aircraft maintenance technician, a student arriving late for class more than three
times in any nine week “course” will be subject to dismissal from that Aero
Course. Students shall
report the time missed for taking any unauthorized breaks, or for missing any
portion of lecture or lab to the instructor responsible for recording his or her
progress for that day.
MAKE-UP
TIME: All time missed due to
being late or absent in any portion of a subject must be made up within that
subject. It is the student’s responsibility to
contact the instructor where the time was missed, to arrange to make up the time
missed, and to verify that time made up is properly logged by that
instructor.
MISSED TIME
REPORT: A missed time report form
will be maintained for each student by the instructor responsible for lab roll
call. Any time
missed, and subsequently made up must be entered on this form by that
instructor. The missed time
report forms will be accessible for student
verification.
1.
At the time of absence or late arrival the instructor will mark the
student absent, enter the date, indicate whether the time missed was lecture or
lab, and identify the subject(s) missed.
It is the responsibility of each
student to verify that absences due to late arrival have been changed to actual
time missed. If not corrected, each
absence becomes six hours time lost.
Verification shall be done on the same day of the late
arrival.
2.
Students must report any time missed on the Time Make-up Form
and submit it the appropriate instructor at the end of the class session. It is the student’s responsibility to
complete the time make-up form. At
the time of make-up, the instructor will enter the date the work was made up and
initial. At the end of each
nine-week block of instruction the time missed and the time made up will be
posted in the master records. All
work must be made up in order to qualify for the A & P Mechanic
certificate.

1.
Please do not enter the Classroom while another
class is in progress.
2.
No food or drink is allowed in the Aero
classrooms or lab.
3.
