Environmental Control Systems
Designed to partially fulfill the Airman Certification Standards requirements set out for an Aviation Mechanic career pathway for the Airframe Curriculum Subjects for Aviation Maintenance Technician Schools.
Federal Aviation Administration – Airman Certification Standards
This pathway equips learners with the training necessary to meet the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airman Certification Standards (ACS) and become an Aviation Mechanic (AM). It offers three programs: General, Airframe, and Powerplant. The General program serves as a prerequisite for the other two and is recommended as the first step. It covers all the knowledge, skills, and risk mitigation elements outlined in the ACS’s general section. Upon completing this learning path, participants can pursue FAA mechanic or repairman certification through on-the-job experience or by finishing the required coursework at one of the 190 FAA-certificated aviation maintenance schools.
