                               (CONTINUED)

 

PART 147_AVIATION MAINTENANCE TECHNICIAN SCHOOLS--Table of Contents

 

                        Subpart C_Operating Rules

 

Sec. 147.38a  Quality of instruction.



    Each certificated aviation maintenance technician school shall 

provide instruction of such quality that, of its graduates of a 

curriculum for each rating who apply for a mechanic certificate or 

additional rating within 60 days after they are graduated, the 

percentage of those passing the applicable FAA written tests on their 

first attempt during any period of 24 calendar months is at least the 

percentage figured as follows:

    (a) For a school graduating fewer than 51 students during that 

period--the national passing norm minus the number 20.

    (b) For a school graduating at least 51, but fewer than 201, 

students during that period--the national passing norm minus the number 

15.

    (c) For a school graduating more than 200 students during that 

period--the national passing norm minus the number 10.



As used in this section, ``national passing norm'' is the number 

representing the percentage of all graduates (of a curriculum for a 

particular rating) of all certificated aviation maintenance technician 

schools who apply for a mechanic certificate or additional rating within 

60 days after they are graduated and pass the applicable FAA written 

tests on their first attempt during the period of 24 calendar months 

described in this section.
