Avionics Program
The program covers Basic Electronics, wiring, fabrication, installation and testing of Communication and Navigation Systems. This is taught in an office airport facility but with-in 500 feet of our current airport facility. Mr. Bill Morelli, one of our past graduates who is A&P certified, Avionics and radar certified is the instructor. This is the only avionics school to be offered in New England
Course Description
The Burlington Aviation Tech program offers training in the general, airframe, and powerplant curriculum leading to certification by the FAA as an A&P mechanic. The general program is offered to high school students through a two-year, high school tech program at the Burlington Technical Center adjacent to Burlington High School. Federal regulations require a minimum of 450 hours of training in general areas. Adults are also eligible to take the course at the Tech Center with the permission of the Director. Others interested in the general program may take night courses offered at the BAT hangar at Burlington Airport. A general course is proposed for August 2004. These courses are scheduled as demand merits. For information, call the director, Rick Sylvester, at 802-864-8447.
The Airframe and Powerplant courses are mandated to be 750 hours in length each, and are offered at the BAT hangar at Burlington Airport. The courses run consecutively and are scheduled over a six-month period to allow students to hold part-time jobs, or to take the general program in the evening course.
