What is the AMT department math competency test?
It is a test that the FAA will accept in lieu of PCC’s Math 60. Because math is a required subject within the approved curriculum of a Part 147 school, we must show that a student who graduates has satisfactorily mastered that subject. We previously taught the math component within our AMT classes, but some years ago it was moved out and replaced by PCC’s Math 60. (Not all colleges’ math 60 classes have the same content) Shortly afterward, we petitioned the FAA to accept an alternate method for those who already had a documented math competency above math 60. The FAA approved the AMT test because the FAA requires that there be a locally controlled method to verify and document competency.
