Students who satisfactorily complete the required sections of the aviation curriculum are qualified to apply for FAA certification and associated ratings. In order to secure this FAA certification, applicants must pass written, oral, and practical examinations. These examinations are administered by an FAA designated third party. A fee is charged at the time of the examination.
The school’s Certificate of Completion certifies the student has successfully met the educational objectives in accordance with required standards under 14 CFR Part 147. Students in the Airframe and Powerplant Technician program are eligible to receive three (3) Certificates of Completion ‑ General, Airframe, and Powerplant ‑ provided all required courses are complete with a passing grade (2.0 grade point average or above).
Note: A student presenting the FAA Certificate of Completion for General, Airframe or Powerplant may take the written examination for each section upon completion of the corresponding curriculum. FAA Written Airman Knowledge Testing Procedures are described in the following section.
