Program Overview
This program fits middle and high school students in the Toledo area who want hands-on airframe and powerplant coursework built into their regular school day.
The Aerospace and Natural Science Academy of Toledo runs its Aviation Center for middle and high school students in Swanton, Ohio. Coursework covers electronics, hydraulics, pneumatics, precision sheet metal work, aeronautical physics, aircraft rigging, aircraft systems, and turbine and reciprocating powerplants, working toward Airframe and Powerplant certificates. Recruiting partners include FedEx, UPS, Gulfstream, and American Airlines.
This is a public secondary program rather than a standalone postsecondary school, and it holds its own FAA Part 147 certification. Toledo's metro area posts a median aviation mechanic wage of $79,830 a year, almost matching the $79,870 national median for the occupation, a detail worth weighing alongside the program's classroom-to-hangar curriculum.
