Paris Junior College – Greenville Center will begin 
offering Airframe and Powerplant Preparatory Courses in August, 
according to Workforce Development Dean Kevin Rose.  The classes will 
be held at the PJC Aviation Training Center located at 89 Majors Road.

             These classes will enhance the fundamental technical 
procedures in the required subject matter necessary to pass the 
written, oral and practical certification as a Federal Aviation 
Administration (FAA) Airframe and Powerplant Technician.

             Students must have 18 months of practical experience 
with procedures, materials and tools on either airframe or 
powerplant, or, must have 30 months of combined practical experience 
on both airframe and powerplant to receive both certifications.

             Documentation of the required experience specified FAR 
65.77 must be presented at the local FAA office.
             The Airframe and Powerplant General Knowledge class will 
include basic electricity; aircraft drawings; weight and balance; 
fluid lines and fittings; material and processes; ground operations 
and servicing; cleaning and corrosion control, mathematics; 
maintenance forms and records; basic physics; maintenance 
publications; and mechanic privileges and limitations.

             This class will meet from 5-10 p.m., Monday through 
Thursday, August 3-7.

             The A&P Airframe Systems class will be set up to 
instruct aircraft technicians who have the required time spent on the 
aircraft but still lack some of the knowledge to complete the 
written, oral and practical test. This class will offer 30% hands-on 
training and 70% classroom lecture training.

             This class will be held from 5-9 p.m., Monday through 
Thursday, August 10 through Sept. 3.
             An A&P Powerplant Systems class will be offered 
beginning in September.
