Aviation Maintenance Program

The aircraft mechanic training at our Tulsa flight school can help you prepare for a career in the aviation industry

Spartan’s FAA approved Aviation Maintenance Technology program has been training skilled aircraft technicians for more than 80 years. Our aircraft mechanic school’s courses can help prepare you for the Airframe and Powerplant certification (A&P License) required by the Federal Aviation Administration.

The importance of airplane maintenance cannot be denied. Aircraft technicians are the highly skilled, detail oriented individuals who keep the airways safe and the airplanes flying. For every one hundred hours that an aircraft is used for hire, it must go through a thorough aviation maintenance and inspection process. This aviation maintenance combined with annual inspections and routine airplane maintenance repairs creates a tremendous need for qualified licensed aviation maintenance technicians.  If you’re looking for aviation schools that offer aviation mechanic training, check out Spartan College of Aeronautics and Technology.

A&P License

An Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) License is required by those who inspect, maintain and repair aircraft. In Spartan’s airplane mechanic school, we can provide you with the hands-on aviation training and knowledge needed to obtain your FAA A&P License, and you can also gain the confidence and skills required for top job performance as an aviation mechanic

If you’re searching for aviation schools that provide instruction and training, you can find it here.  Spartan has instructors in the aviation maintenance program that are approved to administer the oral and practical aviation mechanic tests required by the FAA. We also offer many other professional certification exams through our LaserGrade Testing System.

Aviation Maintenance Training

Previous experience is not required, as our aviation maintenance degree and diploma programs can provide training in everything from changing a tire to rebuilding a turbine engine. You can also learn about all types of aircraft, from a small engine airplane to a large transport airplane like those used by major airlines. Students in our aviation maintenance program may study a variety of subjects, such as:
