Calhoun's Aviation Program



calhoun Community College’s aviation class is now offered through a grant at no charge to high school juniors & seniors.  This program focuses on airframe technology, powerplant technology and avionics. Recently our Decatur City Schools’ Student Marketing Team visited with Mr. Cook, an instructor for the class. The curriculum has ten classes that must be completed to earn an Airframe and Powerplant certification (A & P). Across the nation, the Department of Labor (2010) indicates that the projected employment for aircraft and avionics mechanics and service technicians will increase by 9,800 technicians by the year 2018.
