Maintenance Training
Scope of your training:
- Candidates entering Compass Aviation are expected to have their A&P mechanic’s license. Exceptions can be made for those still pursuing an A&P, but preferably with previous maintenance experience.
- Candidates are expected to first learn the basic service items on an aircraft, and then work up to larger and more complex projects, until the candidate is qualified to obtain an Inspection Authorization, if so desired.
- Candidates will gain experience on a wide variety of light General Aviation planes, including Single-Engine Cessnas, Beechcraft, and Pipers, as well as various cabin-class twins.
Length of training offered:
- A&P mechanics should expect between 1 and 3 years, depending on experience. Mechanics still pursuing an A&P should expect 3 or more years. Mechanics desiring an IA should expect at least 3 years.
Type of training:
- On-the-job training is obtained throughout a candidate’s time at Compass Aviation, ranging from step-by-step walkthroughs for the less-experienced, to guidance and accountability for the more-experienced. All training is one-on-one and hands-on, tailored for the individual needs of the candidate.
