ot far from Fort Rucker in the small town of
Ozark, Alabama Aviation College is training
the next generation of aviation technicians as
it has for nearly 60 years. However, these electronics are
far more complicated and sophisticated than their analog
ancestors. In the lab, students Jarrod Pippins, Corwin
Thomas and Charles Burdock practice installing a
Garmin GTN 750 GPS/nav/comm multifunction
display utilizing an install buddy similar to
those used in AEA training.
"At the Alabama Aviation College, we are
always looking for ways
to better prepare students
for what they may
encounter in the aviation
field," said instructor
Jeff Mullins, an A&P mechanic and designated mechanic
examiner for the Federal Aviation Administration. Mullins
has 35 years of experience in aviation, including serving
13 years as an instructor for the school.
"Currently, there is a big push for upgrade installs in
aircraft to be fitted with ADS-B. One of the main practical
exercises for the students is to complete a practice install.
Installation training helps prepare students to fabricate

wiring harnesses and install new equipment in aircraft.
The students must design their own unique wiring harness
schematic and fabricate the wiring harness to match the
installed equipment - much like they would have to on
actual aircraft during an upgrade install. The unit has to
be tested outside to pick up GPS satellites."
Alabama Aviation College at Ozark originated
in 1960 as the Alabama Institute of Aviation
Technology, an educational program
administered by the Ozark City Board of
Education. In 1962, the FAA certified the
institution's aviation
maintenance program, and
several accreditations,
mergers and name changes
followed in the years to
come. In 2003, the aviation center merged with Enterprise
State Junior College. The school has since added more
campuses dedicated to aviation throughout the state,
including in Albertville, Decatur and Andalusia.
Located at Blackwell Airfield, Alabama Aviation
Center offers two-year applied science degree programs
in avionics technology; aircraft maintenance technologyairframe technology; and aircraft maintenance
