Program Timeline
2026 will be dedicated to completing FAA certification for Novelty AIR as an Aviation Maintenance Technician School. Pending successful certification, instruction is planned to begin as early as Q1 2027.
While we are unable to enroll students prior to FAA approval, we are establishing a waitlist and conducting pre-qualification conversations for informational purposes only. Participation does not guarantee enrollment, and no training will occur until FAA certification is granted.
Courses
Our Training Modules
Novelty AIR’s Aviation Maintenance Technician program is structured around three core instructional modules required for FAA Airframe and Powerplant certification. Each module combines knowledge-based instruction, simulation and virtual reality tools, and supervised hands-on training conducted in FAA-approved environments. Together, these modules provide a comprehensive pathway into aviation maintenance careers while maintaining the highest standards of safety, quality, and regulatory compliance.
General Maintenance
The General Maintenance module builds the foundational knowledge and skills required for all aviation maintenance professionals. Students learn essential principles of mathematics, physics, electricity, maintenance publications, regulations, and human factors. This module emphasizes safety, professionalism, and proper use of tools and materials, preparing students for more advanced aircraft-specific training.
Airframe Maintenance
The Airframe Maintenance module focuses on the structure and systems of the aircraft itself. Students gain experience with aircraft construction, inspection techniques, hydraulics and pneumatics, landing gear systems, flight controls, sheet metal, and composite materials. Training blends classroom instruction with hands-on practice to ensure students develop the skills needed to maintain and repair aircraft safely and effectively.
Powerplant Maintenance
The Powerplant Maintenance module concentrates on aircraft engines and propulsion systems. Students study engine theory, fuel and ignition systems, lubrication, cooling, exhaust, and propeller systems. Through a combination of technical instruction and supervised hands-on training, students learn how to inspect, troubleshoot, and maintain aircraft powerplants to meet performance and safety standards.
