    AMT 101 - BASIC ELECTRICITY NA NA NA NA NA COASTAL ALABAMA
    COMMUNITY COLLEGE    		 The course focuses on alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) circuits and controls, electrical measurements, electrical test equipment, aircraft batteries, fundamental electronics, and semiconductor devices. After completing the course, students should be able to: Solve problems related to electrical measurements, Use basic electrical test equipment, and Service aircraft batteries.
    AMT 104 - TECHNICAL PREPARATION NA NA NA NA NA COASTAL ALABAMA
    COMMUNITY COLLEGE    		 This course introduces basic information necessary for entering students in aviation maintenance technology. Emphasis is placed on math and physics, aircraft weight and balance, and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and manufacturers' technical and legal publications. Upon completion, students should be able to make basic computations, apply principles of physics, compute weight and balance, use maintenance forms and records, state mechanics 
    privileges and limitations, and interpret maintenance publications.
    AMT 105 - MATERIAL AND PROCESSES NA NA NA NA NA COASTAL ALABAMA
    COMMUNITY COLLEGE    		 This course introduces aircraft hardware and materials, precision measuring and non-destructive testing, aircraft ground operations, fuels, cleaning and corrosion control methods, and the use of aircraft drawings. Emphasis is on the identification and selection of aircraft hardware, the performance of non-destructive testing, fabrication, and inspection of flexible fluid lines, identification of fuels, use of cleaning materials, and corrosion control programs. Upon completion, students should be able to perform non-destructive tests, use precision measuring tools, fabricate and install rigid and flexible fluid lines, select hardware and fuels, handle and secure an aircraft, and identify, read, create, and interpret aircraft drawings.
    AMT 103 - WEIGHT AND BALANCE,
    GROUND HANDLING AND SERVICING,
    CLEANING AND CORROSION CONTROL    		 NA NA NA NA NA COASTAL ALABAMA
    COMMUNITY COLLEGE    		 This course introduces basic information necessary for entering students in aviation maintenance technology. Emphasis is placed on aircraft weight and balance, handling and securing aircraft, cleaning and corrosion control. Upon completion, students should be able to conduct aircraft weight and balance, compute aircraft weight and balance, handle and secure aircraft during ground operations, and clean and corrosion control.
    AMT 110 - NON-METALLIC
    STRUCTURES AND WELDING    		 NA NA NA NA NA COASTAL ALABAMA
    COMMUNITY COLLEGE    		 This course is a study of repairs to non-metallic aircraft surfaces and structures. Emphasis is placed on repairs to fabric surfaces and to wood, and composite structures. Upon completion, students should be able to repair fabric surfaces and apply finishing materials, make repairs to wood structures, layout, and form composite repairs, and inspect/repair non-metallic components (windows, upholstery).
    AMT 111 - AIRCRAFT SHEETMETAL
    STRUCTURES    		 NA NA NA NA NA COASTAL ALABAMA
    COMMUNITY COLLEGE    		 This course introduces aircraft sheet metal repairs. Emphasis is placed on the use of proper procedures, tools, and materials to complete sheet metal repairs. Upon completion, students should be able to install conventional rivets; form, layout, and bend sheet metal; install special rivets and fasteners; and, inspect and repair sheet metal structures.
