What is an A&P Mechanic and Why are They in Demand?
An Airframe & Powerplant technician is licensed by the FAA to work on aircraft engines (powerplant) and structures (airframe). These professionals are essential to keeping airplanes flying safely and they’re in serious demand across the aviation industry.
And Boeing estimates more than 700,000 technicians will be needed over the next 20 years around the world.
You’ll find A&P mechanics working for:
- Major airlines (like American, Southwest, and United)
- Cargo carriers (like FedEx and UPS)
- Private jet operators
- Aerospace manufacturers
- Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) facilities
With an A&P license, you can work almost anywhere in the U.S. and especially right here in the Fort Worth area, one of the biggest aviation hubs in the country.
What You’ll Learn at Thrust Institute
Our program is designed to give you real-world skills, not just classroom theory. You’ll work with:
- Aircraft engines and powerplant systems
- Airframes, hydraulics, and control surfaces
