The AircraftMechanic’s Creed

UPON MY HONOR I swear

that I shall hold in sacred

trust the rights and privileges

conferred upon me as a

certified mechanic. Knowing

full well that the safety and

lives of others are dependent

upon my skill and judgment,

I shall never knowingly

subject others to risks which I

would not be willing to

assume for myself, or for those

dear to me.

IN DISCHARGING this

trust, I pledge myself never to undertake work or approve work which I

feel to be beyond the limits of my knowledge nor shall I allow any

non-certified superior to persuade me to approve aircraft or equipment

as airworthy against my better judgment, nor shall I permit my

judgment to be influenced by money or other personal gain, nor shall I

pass as airworthy, aircraft or equipment, about which I am in doubt

either as a result of direct inspection or uncertainty regarding the

ability of others who have worked on it to accomplish their work

satisfactorily.

I REALIZE the grave responsibility which is mine as a certified

airman, to exercise my judgment on the airworthiness of aircraft and

equipment. I, therefore, pledge unyielding adherence to these precepts

for the advancement of aviation and for the dignity of my vocation.

Program Objective

The purpose of the Aeronautics Department is help students getready for testing and certification as Airframe and Powerplantmechanics. Our goal is for our students to be ready for more thanjust the FAA tests. We also train them to be ready for employmentas A&P mechanics in a wide variety of settings. The training weoffer provides students with the knowledge and backgroundinformation necessary to complete the Airframe and Powerplantcurriculum, meet current FAA requirements, and achieve FAAcertification as an aircraft maintenance technician.

Introduction

The training that the ANC Aeronautics Department offers isspecifically authorized by our Federally approved curriculummanual. We teach the following series of classes:

• General Aviation - These classes are required by the FAA inorder to receive a mechanic certificate with either Airframe orPowerplant authorization. If a student already holds either anAirframe or a Powerplant ticket, they need not take the Generalclasses in order to earn the other.

• Airframe - These classes prepare students to work on thestructure of an aircraft. Classes apply to small single seataircraft up through large transport aircraft.

• Powerplant - These classes prepare students to work on aircraftengine and their accessories. They cover reciprocating engines,turbine engines, and jet engines.

The General, Airframe, and Powerplant series of classes are taughtsequentially. In most cases, students will need to wait until a newclass starts in order to begin. This usually happens in August, andmay also happen in January. ANC offers both day and nightclasses.*

Schedule Time Days per week Meal Break

Day 8:30 to 3:00 5 (MTWHF) 12:00 - 12:30

Night 4:00 to 10:30 4 (MTWH) 8:00 -8:30

Class hours are 50 minutes long, and are usually followed by a 10minute break. Student may leave the campus during break andmeal times, provided that they are back at the end of the break. Atthe discretion of the instructor, the number and timing of breaksmay be reduced during labs.

Each class we offer is governed by the FAA, which specifies justhow much detail and practice is required for each subject. Ourcurriculum is designed to meet or exceed the requirements in allsubjects. For more information, refer to FAR 147, appendix A, B,C, and D.

*Note that students may enroll in the General Education Coreclasses that the college offers towards an associates degree at thebeginning of any semester, specifying Aeronautics as their courseof study.

Program Costs

ANC makes every effort to be as affordable as possible, and ourtraining is offered at some of the most competitive rates in theindustry. Students are required to pay ordinary college tuition atthe current rate, and they are required to pay an additional $30Aviation Maintenance Fee per credit (semester) hour. Thisadditional fee is used to help offset the cost of the consumablesused in aviation training.

FINANCIAL AID AND SCHOLARSHIPS ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THESE FIGURES

10

Financial Aid and Scholarships

In order to help keep this program affordable, we do offer financialaid and scholarships. In order for the college to dispense anyfunds, students must fill out a FASFA. This allows qualifyingstudents to receive Pell grants and possible other forms of financialaid. In addition to this, it is the gateway to our own Scholarshipprograms, which include a $500 per semester ADTEC* andAATYC** scholarships. Other scholarships are available fromtime to time, and are usually applied for after entering the program.

Map

*Arkansas Delta Training and Education Consortium -available until spring 2013. All enrolled students that havefilled out the FASFA will receive this scholarship.*Arkansas Association of Two-Year Colleges - availableuntil spring of 2012. This scholarship is need based.

Attendance

• Class attendance is mandatory. Roll is taken hourly throughoutthe day. Any missed time will be entered into the student’srecord.

• Students that are late for class - either at the beginning of theday or after breaks during the day - will be marked absent forthe time missed. Absence is marked in ½ hour blocks.

• Occasional tardiness of up to 5 minutes may be allowedwithout makeup time. This is entirely at the discretion of theinstructor.

• All time and work missed must be made up for a student toreceive any credit for a class or section. If student absenceexceeds 15% of the hours of the class, that student may bedropped from the class, and that class will have to be repeated. In many cases, this could cause a delay of a year or more inreceiving your mechanic certificate.

Class Cancellation

Should classes require cancellation for weather (snow days, etc.) orother emergency, ANC will arrange for make up dates and times. If an instructor is ill, a substitute teacher will be called. We willnot cancel classes for instructor illness. Scheduled replacementdays are treated like any other class days.

The FAA requires this policy. Your instructors are not allowedto waive this requirement, regardless of your circumstances. Alltime missed must be made up as detailed on page 8. Times anddates for makeup are posted. Failure to show progress towardsmaking up time missed may be grounds for expulsion from theAeronautics Program.

12

Make-Up Policy

All time and work missed must be made up outside of regular classhours or on days when class is not in session. All make up will bein the same subject area as the material which has been missed. Anauthorized instructor will be assigned to supervise makeup time.

Classroom/Theory Makeup Work. A. Students will make up the time in person. Students are

expected to review the material on their own. However, aninstructor will be available to help whenever the need arises.

B. Home work may be assigned instead of actual make up time. Usually, this work will be in the form of writing FAA qualitytest questions over the material. This work must show thestudent’s understanding of the material they missed. The sizeof the assignment will be such that it will take about the sameamount of time as the student has missed. Please see “FAAMakeup Question Policy.” Please note that whether work mustbe completed in person or by questions is at the instructor’sdiscretion.

Lab/ Shop Project Makeup:• All shop projects either missed or incomplete will have to be

made up. Alternate projects which teach the same conceptsmay be assigned at the discretion of the instructor. If therequired projects are completed before the required time isdone, any remaining time required will be made up in the sameway as classroom theory.

• Students must complete the project assigned, regardless of theactual amount of clock hours required to do so.

IMPORTANT NOTE - as a rule of thumb, all time missedmust be made up before testing out of the subject.

Writing Makeup Questions

Alternate homework assignment will usually be in the form ofFAA quality test questions. In order to qualify for makeup time,the questions you write must

A. Relate to the material you missed in class.B. Be enough to count for time you missed. ANC bases its

equivalency on 15 questions per hour missed. In the case of ahalf hour, 8 questions will be required.

C. Be good enough to be usable in future classes. Questions thatare not good enough will not be accepted. The instructor of theclass has the final authority on this judgement call.

D. Be typed and/or submitted digitally.E. Conform to the format below:

Question Format:

Our format is the same as the FAA’s CBT test questions. Thequestion must be in multiple choice format, with 3 possibleanswers. The correct answer will be provided, along with 2realistic “distractor” answers which are not correct. You need nottell which answer is correct. A person who has not studied thechapter should not be able to tell which answer is correct just bylooking at how a student has written them.

Example Question:

1) Which type of missed time cannot be made up by writing FAAtest questions?

A) Classroom lecture time.B) All of the time required for a lab.C) Any lab time left over after the entire lab is completed.

(Answer = B)

14

Field Trips

Field trips may occasionally be scheduled during regular classhours. These are intended to supplement and enhance theapproved curriculum, and will relate to the subject being taught. These are a mandatory part of the curriculum. Missed time will bemade up as per shop/theory makeup time policy.

Occasionally the ANC Aeronautics Department may offer optionalfield trips that cannot be scheduled during ordinary class hours. These are not mandatory, but are recommended.

Grades

A student’s grade will depend only on their own performance, andnot on others in class. Grades are given as percentages and asletter grades. Per the FAA, the minimum level of acceptableperformance is 70%. There will be NO grading curve.

Grade Table - Approximate Interpretation

A 90%-100% Outstanding performance - exceeds expectations.

Highest standards.

B 80% - 89% Good performance. Meets all expectations, and

exceeds some.

C 70% - 79% Average Performance - performs to minimum

acceptable standard.

F 0% - 69% Unacceptable. Performance needs improvement.

Due to the FAA required 70% minimum, the letter grade D willnot be issued.

Grade Averaging

The Aeronautics Department trains students for both college andFAA credit. Because the 2 types of credit are not the same, wehave to maintain separate styles of records for each. FAA subjectsare graded separately for your FAA transcript. However, for yourcollege transcript, several FAA subjects are usually combined intoone college score. This is done for bookkeeping purposes only.

Your final FAA course grades will be computed in the followingmanner:

If quizzes are given

Labs 50%

Quizzes 10%

Tests 40%

Total 100%

If no quizzes aregiven

Labs 50%

Tests 50%

Total 100%

Your college course grades will be determined by averaging eachof the FAA courses contained in the college courses. Dependingon instructor preference, this may be a straight average, or it maybe a weighted average based on the amount of time spent in eachFAA subject.

Minimum Required Grades

In order to pass any class, both the lab average and the final scoremust be at least 70%. If a student scores less than 70% on a final,they will be allowed a retake. The retake test will be similar butnot identical to the original test, and will be taken within 2 weeks. If the student scores higher than 70% on the retake, the test score is

16

entered as a 70% on the final record. If the student fails the retake,they will be required to repeat the class when it is offered again.

In the case of failing lab averages, the student will be required toredo one or more of the labs which were failed. As with theretakes on the test, the lab average will then be entered as 70%.

Tests and Quizzes

A final test will be given at the end of each FAA class. Additionalquizzes will be given whenever the instructor feels they arenecessary. Students may or may not have advance warning forquizzes.

At the instructor’s discretion, when FAA subjects include less thanaround 20 clock hours, the instructor may give the final for thatsubject along with the final(s) of another subject. Whenever thishappens, the instructor must be able to assign a separate final gradefor each subject.

Tests are considered controlled items, and are not available forreview except immediately after the test, so that students maycheck their grades. Tests and answer keys are kept under lock andkey. All tests must be returned to the instructor after completion.

Grading Guidelines for Shop Projects

Shop grades are based on the following characteristics:

• Job Knowledge - student possesses and demonstrates a clear

understanding of the responsibilities and tasks they must perform.

• Job Performance - Neatness, thoroughness, accuracy, and overall

quality of the student’s work. Return to service standards.

• Job Productivity - Student demonstrates a commitment toward

achieving results. Tasks are completed efficiently and effectively.

• Dependability - Student can be relied upon to complete assigned tasks in

the allotted time frame. Conscientious about attendance.

• Cooperation and Initiative - Student works willingly with other

students and instructors. Student thinks and acts independently within the

scope of the project.

• Work Environment and Safety - maintains a safe and pleasant

environment. Contributes towards a safe workplace.

Student Conduct

Enrollment in ANC’s Aeronautics Department is a voluntaryagreement to meet certain minimum standards of behavior. Failureto meet these standards may be grounds for expulsion, eithertemporary or permanent. It is impossible for any regulation tocover every form of misconduct. However, the following items areguidelines.

1. Students may not engage in any talk or behavior that couldresult in disruption of the class. This includes, but is notlimited to the following:a. The use of cell phones or computers during class for any

purpose other than those directly related to the class, andspecifically approved by the instructor.

b. Obscene or sexually explicit language or material, verbalthreats, and racial comments or slurs. This includes imagesand text on shirts or other students property.

c. Fighting, gambling, or tampering with another student’sproperty.

d. Failure to comply with or willful obstruction with anylegitimate directive (oral or written) from any collegepersonnel acting in the performance of their duties.

2. Dishonesty, such as cheating, plagiarism, or knowinglyfurnishing false or misleading information is prohibited. Thisincludes the use of any electronic communication deviceduring any quiz or test, either oral or written, unlessspecifically allowed by the instructor.

3. As per college policy, the use of tobacco is not permitted onANC property. Adequate break times are provided for studentsto leave the college grounds for tobacco usage.

4. The use of or possession of any of the following items on ANCproperty is not allowed:a. Weaponsb. Alcohol

Student Conduct - Continued

c. Illegal drugs, or any paraphernalia.d. Fireworkse. Any medication not specifically allowed by law.

5. Any action or technique which is likely to damage eitherschool or someone else’s property is prohibited. If anyonedeliberately performs such an action and it results in thedamage or destruction of property, they will be held personallyliable.

Safety Policy

Safety is an intensely personal issue. However, liability law andgood practice dictate that all institutions - educational andotherwise - dictate certain safety minimums. Failure to meet thesestandards may be grounds for expulsion, either temporary orpermanent.

1. Protective Equipmenta. Eye protection must be worn whenever students are on the

shop floor unless a specific exclusion is granted by theinstructor. This does not apply to walkways and designatedbreak areas.

b. Appropriate protection should be worn when working withhigh temperatures, sharp tools, or corrosive substances.

c. Footwear should be appropriate for the shop. No open toesor slip on footwear are permitted.

d. Appropriate hearing protection may be required whenworking around loud noises. This includes running enginesand riveting.

2. Safe Conducta. Be aware that there are many safety hazards associated with

maintenance and operation of aircraft. Maintain alertness

20

around jacked aircraft, running engines, and equipment. Always follow basic safety guidelines, including safedistances and locations

b. Absolutely no horseplay will be tolerated in the shop or inthe aircraft runup area.

c. Do not operate any machine or tool which you have notbeen trained to operate.

d. Use safety guards and shields where appropriate. Thisincludes runs stands for engines as appropriate.

3. Substancesa. Students may not work in the shop while on any

prescription or nonprescription medication which maycause drowsiness or include warnings about operatingmachinery or driving.

b. The excessive use of caffeine is discouraged.

Cleanliness

A clean work area is safer and more pleasant to work in than adirty work area, and is a sign of professionalism. Students arerequired to clean up after themselves at the conclusion of eachproject, and to periodically clean the shop and classroom area. Failure to clean up at the conclusion of a project will result in asignificant reduction of grade. Refusal to clean the shop orclassroom when asked is considered insubordination, and may begrounds for expulsion.

Please note - These are minimum requirements. Specificrequirements for specific projects may require additionalprecautions. Always follow your instructor’s guidelines.

FAA Testing

The Aeronautics Department prepares students to take the FAAtests required for certification, and certifies that the students areeligible to take those tests. The actual FAA tests and fees are theresponsibility of the student. The FAA requires the followingtests:• Knowledge Test (each section). These are provided through

the FAA’s computer based testing centers. The General testmay not be taken until you have completed either Airframe orPowerplant. A list of FAA approved facilities will be providedto the student upon section completion. These are referred toas your CBTs (computer based tests).

• Oral and Practical Test (each rating). These are providedthrough the FAA’s DME (Designated Mechanic Examiner)program. Typical fees and time frames for this test vary widelyby examiner. A list of DMEs will be provided to the studentupon completion of each section. These are referred to as yourO&Ps (oral and practicals).

Practice Tests:

After the completion of Airframe and Powerplant, the AeronauticsDepartment will administer a practice test, consisting of the sameform and level of the FAA CBT for that section. This test is notfor a grade in the program, but a score of at least 80% is requiredbefore ANC will sign-off a students to take the CBT.

Students are highly encouraged to schedule their CBTs and O&Ps as

soon as possible after each section is completed. Unfortunately, the

longer you wait after each section, the less ready you will be to take the

test. Don’t be one of those people who have taken all your class work for

your A&P, but still don’t have a certificate. It happens.

22

Earning a College Degree

In addition to providing training towards FAA certification,training from the aeronautics department also counts towards a 2year degree at ANC. Students wishing to earn an Associate inApplied Science need to take the following additional classes:

Additional Training required for an AAS degree

English Composition 1 3 semester hours

English Composition II 3 semester hours

Intermediate Algebra* 3 semester hours

Computer Fundamentals 3 semester hours

Human Relations 3 semester hours

Total 15 semester hours.

* higher college level math courses may be substituted.

These additional classes may be taken before, during, or afterenrollment in the aeronautics department. They are offered on themain campus, and in some cases online. Students are highlyencouraged to take advantage of this program.

Transfer Credit

Students who have already earned credit in FAA-certificatedmaintenance schools may qualify for transfer credit. In general,the program they attended should be accredited by the NorthCentral Association of Colleges and Schools, Commission onColleges, or a similar accrediting body. Generally, to qualify fortransfer credit A. the student must provide a transcript from the registrar of the

school of previous attendance to the registrar of ANC at thetime of enrollment and,

B. the courses they want to transfer were taken during the mostrecent academic year of the admitting institution.

Should there be any reason to doubt either the quality orapplicability of any course work completed by any transfer student,they may be asked to complete a competency test. Any transferstudent who does not meet A and B above will also be asked tocomplete a competency test. The competency test will be equal incontent to the final test for the same subject taken by enrolledstudents and the standard grading scale will apply. A practicalskill demonstration may also be required, and the student may haveto pay a testing fee for a competency test.

Special note for transfer credit: ANC is not authorized to givetransfer credit from proprietary or vocational schools which arenot accredited as above. Credit earned at such an institutionMIGHT be counted towards a sign off to take the A&P exam, butit cannot be counted towards an AAS degree. Any credit earnedat any institution not specifically certificated by the FAA cannotbe honored by the Aeronautics Department.
