These students completed all requirements to earn Airframe Certificates of Completion, allowing them to take the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) general and airframe mechanic written exams.

“Once they pass both of those tests, they can call a designated mechanic examiner and take the oral and practical tests,” said WCC Aviation Systems Technology Instructor Mike Crumpler. “If they successfully pass that experience, they will be issued a temporary Airframe Mechanic certificate so that they may exercise their new privileges until their permanent certificates arrive.”

The individuals who earned certificates, listed by city of residence, are:
