Getting started

Aviation Maintenance Technology

New students can start every Fall or Winter term or every other Spring term (odd years only). Space in this program is limited: there is room for 20 new students in each fall, winter and every other spring.

Prerequisites

All classes in this program have the following prerequisites:

Placement into RD 90: Reading or higher.
Placement into WR 90: Writing or higher.
Completion of AMT 101: Intro to Aviation Maintenance. This 1 credit, 2-day class is offered once every term.
Math competency – see below.

About math competency

Math competency is met by successful completion (“C” or higher) of PCC Math 60, or by successful completion (70% minimum) of the AMT Department Math Competency Test. When math competency is met, the FAA will grant 55 hours toward the total program time requirement (this is discussed in detail in AMT 101). To take the math competency test, contact Larisa Fedorkova-Felty for a permission form.

Yes

This form does not submit, it simply helps you determine the math competency needed for this program. Answer yes or no to each question to hear an explanation about how your competency may or may not meet the requirements.

Have you completed a Math 60 class at PCC?

Yes

If you earned a "C" or higher in a PCC MTH60 course, you have satisfied the AMT department math competency.

If you place into MTH60, you need to take a PCC MTH60 course and pass it with a "C" or higher.

Do you have a transcript from an accredited institution with a passed ("C" or higher) math class equal to or greater than PCC Math 60?

Yes

Please present the transcript to PCC Academic Advising for appropriate math placement. With placement into higher than MTH60, you are eligible to take the AMT Department Math Test. Please contact the AMT department chair to obtain the permission form for the AMT Department Math Test. The test must be taken at the Rock Creek campus testing center. This test consists of 30 of the 60 FAA-like math questions. A 70% score is required and the FAA will grant 55 hours toward the total program time requirement. This test must be taken and passed prior to registration into the program entry-point classes (AMT 105, 106, & 107). This test may be attempted once each term.

You will need to take a College Placement test for math.

Have you placed into higher than Math 60 in your placement tests?

Yes

You are eligible to take the AMT Department Math Test. Please advise the AMT department chair of your higher than MTH60 placement Once placement is confirmed, you will be emailed the permission form for the AMT Department Math Test. If your placement tests were taken at another institution, you will need to present your placement test results to a PCC Academic Advisor so the scores can be entered into your student record here at PCC. Once your higher than MTH60 placement scores are entered, advise the AMT department chair and you will be emailed the permission form for the AMT Department Math Test. The department math test must be taken at the Rock Creek campus testing center. This test consists of 30 of the 60 FAA-like math questions. A 70% score is required and the FAA will grant 55 hours toward the total program time requirement. This test must be taken and passed prior to registration into the program entry-point classes (AMT 105, 106, & 107). This test may be attempted once each term.

You will need to take PCC Math 60 and earn a "C" or higher.

Have you placed into Math 60 through placement testing?

Yes

You will need to take Math 60 at PCC.

If you placed below Math 60, you must complete math courses until you have equivalent placement into MTH60. Once you have equivalent placement into MTH60, you will need to take MTH60 at PCC.

Your first term

After completing the prerequisites, all students start with:

AMT 105: Aviation CFRs and Related Subjects
AMT 106: Aircraft Applied Science
AMT 107: Materials & Processes

These classes (and their waitlist) tend to fill by the end of the third day of registration, so register early.

Transfer students

If you are transferring from another AMT Part 147 school, or if you have an FAA signoff for AMT testing and are only interested in certain classes, we may be able to schedule you into classes on a space-available basis. You will need to make an appointment with the AMT department chair to review your transcripts and outcomes for your already completed coursework. The department chair will work with you to create an academic plan to meet your certification needs.
