Agape Aviation

The proposed program will consist of a 30 months curriculum to certify students for both their Airframe and Powerplant certificates. To gain entry to the program, students will first take an aptitude test to determine their skill level. Most aviation maintenance schools skip this step, and therefore do not know what skills their students initially bring to the program. However, the program will use this test to gauge a students’ abilities in order to determine if they have instinctive skills for aviation maintenance. If a student meets immediate qualifications, they will then be able to partake in the program free of charge verses an industry average cost of This program will be funded by aircraft projects such as restoring and selling an airplane or building and selling an experimental aircraft in addition to donations from individuals and organizations within the aviation industry. Students in the program will work as apprentices to already licensed maintenance instructors and receive classroom instruction alongside practical experience in the shop. Students will work on maintenance tasks in two separate forms: Projects and instruction using donated planes, as well as partnership projects.
