3. / Modification of the following:
Reason for modification: The previous update included a change to the number of lecture and lab hours. The change reflected F.A.A. requirements and how the class in being taught. There was an error in the number of units. This change will correct the number of units.
An addition to the description has been added to better describe the unique registration requirements for the class.
Note: The text we are using are the latest version available and they are over 5 years old. "Aviation Maintenance Technician Handbook-General: FAA-H-8083-30" & "Acceptable Methods, Techniques, and Practices - Aircraft Inspection and Repair AC43.13-1B/2B" are the text from the FAA . "Standard Aviation Maintenance Handbook – 2nd edition" is a reference on general items like hardware sizes and drill bit indexes. These items have not changed since WWII.
