AVIATION MECHANIC SCHOOL IN HOUSTON, TX

No prior experience is needed with UTI Houston! Our aviation courses are designed to build your knowledge from the ground up. Here are some highlights of aviation courses students will encounter in each program:

Basic Sheetmetal

Students receive a general introduction to FAA requirements for sheet metal fabrication and repair. In this class, repair procedures and requirements are evaluated and used during this phase of training, and welding will be discussed and demonstrated at an entry level. Fundamental operations such as oxyacetylene equipment operation and safety are included.

Hydraulics and Pneumatics; Landing Gear Systems

This course acquaints students with basic hydraulic and pneumatic principles, operation, and servicing of equipment. Basic theories are reinforced through hands-on activities like the inspection of a hydraulic pump for efficiency after a detailed disassembly and reassembly by the student.

Navigation and Communication Systems

This course is a study of aircraft navigation, communication, approach control systems and autopilot. It includes inspection, installation, service and FAA regulations, traditional analog gauges, and digital advanced systems.

Basic Physics for Turbine Designs and Operations

Students are introduced to gas turbine engines beginning with the history of the development of gas turbines, the theory of jet propulsion, and followed by a study of the major sections of a typical gas turbine engine. After a familiarization of turbine engine development, students learn to identify the intake, compression, hot section, the turbine and the exhaust areas of a given turbine engine.

Powerplant Lubrication and Propellers

This course addresses the identification of lubricants and their functions. It includes identifying, servicing and adjusting the components, installing rings and lines, interpreting FAA regulations pertaining to oil tanks, and disassembling and reassembling engine oil pumps.
