AVweb DENTON, Texas, January 25, 2021 – US Aviation Academy (USAA) branches out and offers a Part 147 A&P program for students pursuing a career as an Aviation Maintenance Technician (AMT) beginning January 2021. USAA has helped alleviate the shortage of trained and skilled pilots and now offers an A&P program with hands-on experience with real aircraft in a Class Delta airport. Providing training at an airport gives students a full immersion environment into the AMT world. The A&P program is 12 months, compared to other programs typically lasting two years. Training includes hands-on shop time with removing, rebuilding, fabricating, troubleshooting various aircraft components, along with theory and lecture classes. USAA provides its students with all books, tools and materials necessary for training. The instructors teaching the program have worked on USAA’s fleet of over 120 aircraft including piston and turbine engine aircraft.
