viation students at Texas State Technical College now have more space to learn their future trades. In May, the Waco-based school opened its brand new aviation center to summer classes. The $10 million, 82,000-square-foot Col. James T. Connally Aerospace Center joins all of the aviation programs into one facility with state-of-the-art classrooms, labs, simulators, hangars and public-use areas. Located on the college’s airport, a converted Air Force base and the largest airport owned and operated by a two-year institute, the aviation center features a fully operating Federal Aviation Administration-certified repair station. It’s the only facility of its kind in any school in the state and one of only 10 college repair stations nationwide. “The lab is a fully functional repair facility authorized by the FAA to perform real maintenance on real aircraft,” said Troy Ellison, avionics repair station manager for Texas State Technical College. “As part of the expansion, the repair station went from six dedicated repair bays in the 1,000-square-foot Avionics Technologies repair labs

to a dedicated, 1,000-square-foot lab with 16 bays and an additional 3,000 square feet of storage. This provided much needed space for tooling, testing equipment and parts inventory.” Choosing Your Avionics Program When it comes to avionics training, Texas State Technical College offers two options – a one-year flightline maintenance certificate and a two-year avionics degree. For the certificate, students learn avionics systems and integration, installation techniques, and in-aircraft testing and troubleshooting methods. In the two-year program, students take the same courses as those in the certificate program plus an additional year of advanced avionics troubleshooting. The additional classes train students how to perform component level repairs on avionics systems, preparing graduates for an entry-level bench technician position. “Prior to working in the repair station, the students will have accumulated more than 800 hours in hands-on training of test equipment and avionics systems in our avionics
