That’s just to fulfill the contact hour requirements needed to take the FAA written, oral, and practical exams. They must attend classes for two years, at least five hours per day, five days a week almost year-round. There’s nothing new about the commitment that current A&P college students are required to make. ![]() Since then, there have been only minimal changes in the FAA-approved curriculum, even though industry standard and procedures have advanced drastically.” That was before FAA Part 147 standardization in the early 1970s. “I started here as a student in 1969 and the jet engine training I received prepared me for opportunities in the U.S. For more than 40 years, RVC’s aviation maintenance technology program has consistently attracted, prepared, and placed high quality students.Ĭharles Billman is the current program coordinator. Rock Valley College is a “typical” Midwest AMT program - a two-year college that started its program, like many others, back in the mid-1960s. It’s created a challenge for them as students, for those who are responsible for their training and, of course, for their eventual employers.

Remember all those advertisements in the trade publications? “With the current generation of aircraft mechanics retiring, there will be a huge shortage of qualified aircraft workers and a demand for thousands of new technicians in the next few years. ![]() FlightCheck has the ability to automate my workflow.Baby boomers, set that “Wayback Machine” to the days of your airframe and powerplant training. When I finish working on a job, I package files for archival with confidence, knowing all the assets have been collected. That also means sales, and/or production persons that have FlightCheck can determine if the contents of a package are complete and print ready, and have a preview of what the files look like before handling off those files to prepress with confidence! Huge efficiency and productivity saver! No more kicking back files and losing time. (drumroll please) did I add that it is not necessary to actually have the specific software? I can determine if the Quark files that a contractor has sent me are complete and print ready, without having that particular software on my computer. Markzware has done it again! FlightCheck 2022 is a game changer! Yes, I said game changer! FlightCheck 2022 preflights PDFs, InDesign, QuarkXPress files, and opens with NOT the embedded preview, BUT THE ACTUAL DOCUMENT PREVIEW from the documents assets! And. ![]()
