Major

Overview

Those rumors you’ve heard are true: you really are safer on an airplane than in a car. And it’s no surprise, because the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) enforces very strict standards for maintaining aircraft.

As an aircraft maintenance major, you’ll learn just how to live up to these standards. You’ll learn how to inspect, repair, and maintain aircraft from the inside out, working on everything from engines and electrical systems to landing gear.
