Aviation Maintenance Technology

Working in the aviation industry offers many benefits, including inexpensive, if not free, travel year-round. Our AMT program is a 2-year FAA-approved curriculum. You'll become familiar with every system employed on an aircraft, including electrical, structures, fuel, environmental, landing gear, powerplants and more. Our AMT department has had a more than 90% pass rate with the FAA written exams. FAA certificates are also applicable to careers in utilities. Currently, there is a shortage of maintenance technicians in the aviation industry. In addition to providing academic instruction, our faculty will also assist you with job placement.

The Chaffey College Aviation Maintenance Technology (AMT) Program is a FAA approved Part 147 training facility. We are one of approximately 170 schools nationwide. The AMT department and faculty are audited on an annual basis to maintain their Part 147 Certificate.
