certification will be required to meet these 1900 hours including 400 of the General subject area,
750 of the Airframe subject area and 750 if the Powerplant subject area. Students pursuing only
Airframe or Powerplant certification will be required to meet a minimum of 1150 hours to include
400 General subject area, 750 Airframe subject area or 750 Powerplant subject area. All students
are required to meet all of the subject area elements as required by Part 147 appendix B, C, D for
the rating sought.
It is conceivable that a student will require more or less time to complete the required theory and
associated practical projects for each subject area elements. If a student has met the proficiency of
skill as indicated in FAR Part 147 appendix B, C, and D and completed all required theory and
associated practical projects prior to accumulating a minimum of 400 hours in General, 750 hours
in Airframe, and/or 750 hours in Powerplant, the student will be required to perform additional
studies, as long as it is associated with the subject area they are currently accumulating hours
towards and has been approved by the instructor. Additionally, human factors, safety and
environmental issues are embedded into the entire curriculum.

Hours of Instruction (147.31 (a))

No students will be required to attend courses of instruction for more than 8 hours in any day, or more
than 6 days, or 40 hours in any 7 day period.
Transferability
The AMTS may not graduate a student unless they have completed all of the appropriate credit
requirements. The AMTS(s) may credit a student with instruction satisfactorily completed at:
a) An accredited college, university or junior college
b) An accredited vocational, technical, trade or high school
c) A military technical school
d) A certificated aviation maintenance technician school
The AMTS(s) may determine the amount of credit to be allowed by:

a) An entrance test equal to one given to the students who complete a comparable
required curriculum subject at the crediting school
b) An evaluation of an authenticated transcript from the student’s former school; or
c) In the case of an applicant from a military school, only on the basis of an entrance test
The AMTS(s) may credit a student seeking an additional rating with previous satisfactory
completion of the General portion of an AMTS curriculum.
5
The AMTS(s) may credit a student with previous aviation maintenance experience comparable
to required curriculum subjects. Verification of previous experience will be done on a case by
case basis with a minimum of two instructors or an instructor and the AMTS college
administrator. Credit to be allowed will be determined through verifying documents of previous
aviation experience and a test equal to the one given to students who complete the
comparable required curriculum subject.
Student Enrollment (147.31 (d))

The AMTS(s) will not have more students enrolled than the number stated in the application for
certification.
Attendance and Grades

The AMTS will record student attendance and grades through time cards and a time clock
and/or an electronic tracking system. In the event of an inoperable or unavailable time clock or
electronic system, the instructor will sign the student in or out and document all grades until
the system is operational. The instructors will monitor absenteeism by use of the student time
cards or electronic tracking system reports. If a student is caught clocking someone else in or
out, both students will lose credit for the day and may be cause for suspension.
Attendance will be documented daily and recorded each quarter in the student’s master file. All
students will complete a minimum number of hours required and meet all FAA required
proficiency of skill levels for certificate sought in order to complete the AMT program. A
minimum of 400 hours of General, 750 hours of Airframe and 750 hours of Powerplant.
Each student may have an allowable absence of no more than 15% of the required hours for
each subject area (400 General, 750 Airframe and/or 750 Powerplant). If a student is absent
from a scheduled lecture or lab session, the student must obtain missed information/training
from their instructor. All missed material must be made up. Hours missed beyond the 15% of
allowable absences may be made up after normal school hours or additional quarters of
enrollment at instructor discretion.
The AMTS(s) will keep a current record for each student enrolled including:
1. The grades received on each subject required by FAR 147
2. The instruction credited to him/her by instruction satisfactorily completed elsewhere
and an authenticated transcript of the grade received elsewhere.
A student’s grade will consist of a combination of:

• Theory: Score received from the total of section tests, quizzes, extra credit assignments
and attendance
• Lab: Score received from the total project evaluations and extra credit assignments.
Total project evaluations include but are not limited to: safety, work, dependability,
human factors, initiative, quantity and quality of lab work will be factors in assigning lab
scores.
6
A student must pass each test and obtain a proficiency of skill level. If they do not they will be
required to take a make-up test and/or additional projects to obtain required proficiency of
skill. Each course in which a failing grade is received must be repeated and a satisfactory grade
earned before a student can receive a certificate of completion. A passing grade will be a
minimum of 70%.
Records
The AMTS shall keep a current progress chart or individual progress record for each of its
students showing attendance, tests, grades and any instruction credited and the practical
project or laboratory work completed, or to be completed, (including additional projects) by
the student in each subject area and/or subject area element. All records may be electronic and
will be kept on record for a minimum of two years.
Instructor Requirements (147.36) & (147.5 (a))

The AMTS will have at least one appropriately rated (specialized or FAA certificated) instructor for
each 25 students in each shop class.
The AMTS will maintain a list of the names and qualifications of specialized instructors.
The AMTS will not exceed the total number of students in the school as indicated on the current
FAA school certificate without FAA approval.
Maintenance of Curriculum Requirements (147.38)

The AMTS may exceed the teaching levels of the subject area elements in appendix B, C or D
without additional subject area hours as long as all required proficiency levels are still met.

The powerplant and airframe programs is open to anyone who is at least 18 years of age and is
a high school graduate or has a GED certificate. Applicants must read, write, speak and
understand the English language.
Unsatisfactory Progress
Any student whose grade falls below a C average (2.0) will be placed on probation. Work must
show a definite improvement to enable the student to remain in the program. If a student fails a
quarter or phase of the curriculum, that quarter or phase must be repeated and satisfactorily
completed to qualify for a graduation certificate. A failing grade will require counseling by the
student’s instructor to determine whether the student should be permitted to remain in the
program. Any quarter repeated must be paid for at the regular tuition rate. If a student’s
training is interrupted, all concerned will be notified. All required Federal Aviation
Administration tests must be passed during the normal phase of the curriculum. A grade of (I)
will be issued until all tests are passed. An incomplete grade must be made up within 10 days
into the following quarter.
Falsification of Records (Ref. FAR 65.20, A and B)

Any student, who has been determined to have falsified any records or documents
required by this curriculum, including tests, time records, project books or log entries in
any manner, shall receive a failing grade for that quarter and may be subject to dismissal
from the aviation program.

Shop Safety
We require students to wear approved coveralls, or school uniform shirt and safety glasses in
the shop at all times. No sandals or open toed shoes are allowed in the shop area. Student’s
apparel may become a safety hazard while working in the shop area. One of two things must be
done; stop work and eliminate the safety hazard or discontinue work on the project until
corrective action has been taken. Wearing loose clothing or ties around an unconfined lathe, not
wearing shirts or footwear, welding without goggles, cleaning parts without rubber gloves, etc.
will be considered safety violations. Safety is as important in school as it is in industry.
Tool Room
All tools checked out must be returned to the tool room attendant at the end of each day. Your
instructor must sign your clearing sheet indicating completion of all tests and projects at the end
of each quarter. Note any change of address or phone and turn in the clearing sheet to the
office.
