Program Overview
This program suits someone in southwest Missouri who wants both airframe and powerplant ratings in one associate degree, especially since the next Part 147 school is well over a hundred miles off.
OTC's Airframe and Powerplant Technician program leads to an A.A.S. covering both ratings over four semesters. Classes and shop work happen at the Roy Blunt Aviation Training Center on Springfield-Branson National Airport, where the lab keeps four airplanes and a helicopter for hands-on work. The college keeps class sizes small and staffs them with FAA-certified instructors.
The total program is estimated at $20,134 on the low end, a figure worth comparing against your own budget and financial aid options. The nearest other Part 147 school sits 120.3 miles away, which matters if you were hoping to compare options within a short drive.
