Aviation Maintenance Technology

Aviation Maintenance Technicians (AMT)s are in demand worldwide. Employment opportunities exist locally and as far as your imagination will take you. SAU Tech has been producing skilled AMT graduates since 1970. Graduates are located all over the globe in a wide variety of jobs including work in manufacturing, inspection, maintenance, and repair of all types of aircraft, but that's not all. Many graduates have gone on to work in other non-aviation fields, using the skills they learned in SAU Tech's Aviation Program.

From the first semester of training, students begin acquiring skills such as blueprint reading, precision measurements, corrosion control, electrical troubleshooting, and record keeping. Later, training includes fabrication and repair of sheet metal and composite structures, weld inspection, instrumentation, control systems, and hydraulic systems. Power plant training includes reciprocating and turbine engines as well as the many subsystems of each such as starters, generators, fuel controls, lubrication systems, exhaust systems, etc.

SAU Tech now has a commercial size airplane for students to work on while in the program. In spring of 2007, FedEx donated a 727-100 aircraft to the Aviation Maintenance Program. Completing your training with SAU Tech and earning your FAA Airframe and Power plant Certificate will open up more opportunity than you can imagine and will secure your future in employment.
