Seven students in Wayne Community College’s Aviation Systems Technology program have earned certificates that bring them one step closer to becoming aircraft mechanics.
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:
Fuquay-Varina
Wade Parker
Goldsboro
Sean Logan
Matthew Raper

Roman Reconnu
Wilmington
Keonte Sidbury

Colin Best
Youngsville
Jason McCardle
WCC’s Aviation Systems Technology program offers an Aviation Systems Technology Degree, Aviation Systems Technology Airframe Diploma, and Aviation Systems Technology Powerplant Diploma.
For students interested in getting a four-year degree, WCC’s associate in applied science degree in Aviation Systems Technology qualifies for East Carolina University’s Bachelor of Science in Industrial Technology Transfer Program.
