The related instruction outlines the courses that provide the technical ability that supplements the on-the-job training. It is through the combination of both the on-the-job training and the related technical instruction that the apprentice can reach the skilled level of the occupation. Under a registered apprenticeship, 144 hours of related instruction each year of the apprenticeship is recommended. The following is the suggested course curriculum during the term of apprenticeship. The Alaska Air Carriers Association is one of the only FAA-certified, Part-147 school programs in the nation that can be completed in just 12 months. The program offers an associate’s degree in aviation maintenance and certificates in airframe, power plant, or airframe and power plant. Career Opportunities Some aviation maintenance graduates choose to work in general aviation (small aircraft). Many have gone on to become lead mechanics, shop foremen, and directors of maintenance at various FAA Part 135 (Air Taxi) of 121 (Air Carrier) Operations. AACA member air carrier employers are located statewide. AACA will maintain a list of carriers recruiting for apprenticeships. Special Admissions Requirements Students must meet the AACA program admission requirements for enrollment into the AACA apprenticeship program. Scholarships AACA Scholarships The Forrest Jones Memorial Scholarship was established in 1999 to honor Forrest Jones, a dedicated aviation maintenance professional and role model who combined innovative thinking and a common-sense approach to everyday problems. Forrest made a significant contribution to aviation in the State of Alaska, actively supporting aircraft operations for over forty years. His maintenance philosophy of “fixing it right, by the book” was combined with a high degree of professionalism and integrity. The Forrest Jones Memorial Scholarship seeks to perpetuate this attitude and commitment to aviation in Alaska. The scholarship is awarded in early spring at the annual Alaska Air Carriers

A.1-10

Association Convention. The amount to be awarded each year will be determined annually by the AACA Scholarship Committee. The Jim Snead Memorial Scholarship was established by his wife, Almarene Snead to promote careers in the transportation industry. Jim was a highly respected businessman in Anchorage for over 20 years. He got his start in the transportation industry in 1959 working for Northwest Airlines in Seattle. Subsequent jobs in the industry included a stint at Alaska Airlines and over eleven years with Pacific Air Freight/Airborne. In September of 1976, Air Land Transport was formed as a partnership between Jim and his brother John. Almarene and John Snead will sponsor one scholarship and a second scholarship will be taken from the Jim Snead Memorial Fund previously managed by the Anchorage Air Cargo Association
