Aeronautics

Overview Courses

Sacramento City College maintains a Federal Aviation Administration-approved two-year program organized to train students as airframe and powerplant maintenance technicians. The program is designed to meet the needs of students who desire technical training to qualify for the Federal Aviation tests.

See the Aircraft Maintenance Technician Program for more information.

Notice

Beginning with the summer 2022 semester, all AERO (Aeronautics) classes were reclassified as AMTP (Aircraft Maintenance Technician Program). The prerequisite class to enter the program is AMTP 309.
