Program Overview

This program suits students in western Kentucky who want a single degree track covering airframe, powerplant and an introductory avionics credential, starting when the program launches in Spring 2026.

Madisonville Community College's Aviation Maintenance Technology program covers airframe and powerplant ratings within one degree track, alongside a separate Introduction to Aviation Electronics certificate. The program launches Spring 2026, building on the college's existing rotor-wing and fixed-wing flight offerings.
