Program Description Start your career as an aircraft avionics technician, leading up to your Aircraft Maintenance Engineer license, by learning to repair and maintain the electrical and electronic systems — including communication, navigation and data systems — in all types of airplanes and helicopters. The Avionics Technology program offers the student the knowledge and skills required to start a career as an aircraft maintenance engineer (AME) "E". As an "E" licensed AME, you will be responsible for the servicing and repair of aircraft electrical and electronic systems. An "E" licensed aircraft maintenance engineer will maintain and repair the aircraft communication, navigation and data systems. The Avionic Technology program covers all the aspects of aircraft avionics systems used in general aviation, corporate, charter, transport category aircraft, and helicopters.
The program is four semesters in length with a break between semesters two and three. All classes are scheduled at the Art Smith Aero Centre for Training and Technology, located at the Calgary International Airport.
