Avionics Flightline Maintenance
Aviation electronics, or Avionics, focuses on the
application of electronics to aviation. Avionics technicians troubleshoot,
maintain and install systems connected to navigation, communication and other
critical electrical, electronic, and ancillary systems needed to keep aircraft
flying. The first portion of this two-year program focuses on basic electronic
components, systems and basic aircraft theory, and all the training required by
the FAA to obtain an Airframe rating under FAR Parts 65 & 147. The second year
focuses on advanced electronic theory and testing of avionics systems on
aircraft and in the lab, culminating with on-site Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) licensing preparation and testing.
We believe our program is one of the best in the region.
Students leave our classrooms prepared and they get hired. More than 90 percent
have a job waiting for them after completing their coursework. Lansing Community
College has much to offer aviation electronics students from our outstanding
instructional staff to our electronics lab to our modern aircraft test equipment
in use in today's aviation environment, providing students with a valuable mix
of theory and practical, hands-on learning experiences. Our classrooms and
laboratories are located in Lansing, Michigan at Capital City Airport, providing
our students maximum exposure to the aviation environment. Both an associate
degree in applied science and a certificate of completion (designed for students
who already have an Airframe and/or Powerplant rating) are available.
For details on certificate and degree availabilities in the
Avionics Program, including curriculum guides, course offerings and course
