What is an Airframe and Powerplant License?
An airframe and powerplant license is a certification issued by the FAA that qualifies an individual to work independently as an aviation maintenance technician.
An airframe certificate allows a technician to maintain and repair aircraft structures, while a powerplant certificate focuses on the maintenance and repair of aircraft engines and related systems.
To obtain both your airframe and powerplant certifications you must attend an FAA-approved training program and pass written, oral, and practical exams.
