Newest Addition to the AIM Dallas Fleet
by George Duffy, AMD
When AIM Dallas moved into its new facility in April, Beechcraft Baron N6641L, was
waiting there, in pieces. The staff and students wasted no time sizing up what needed
to be done and quickly got to work putting
her back together.
The airframe classes were first on the scene,
expertly installing and rigging the wings and
making the landing gear safe and functional.
When two healthy IO-470 engines arrived,
the powerplant specialists went to work.
“Fortunately the engine work fit right into the
class schedule. We were able to accomplish
two required projects with a real aircraft instead of a training device,” said Mr. Duffy,
powerplant instructor, adding, “the students
really worked hard putting it together.” The
biggest obstacle now will be the impatience
of the students to finish everything and start
the engines.

Houston Hosts Their First Open House
The Houston campus of Aviation Institute
of Maintenance hosted their first open house
ever. As the students approached, they were
greeted with a barbeque, moonwalk, and
friendly faces. When the students entered,
they were escorted on an interactive tour
by Jessica Lindsey, AMH
of the campus. The instructors hosted
various stopping stations in the hangar,
among which was a tour of the Jet star,
DC-6, and a detailed explanation of the
different components of the hangar. After
the students were given a tour, they were
given a presentation of the school
and program. Upon conclusion of
the presentation, the representatives
spent time getting to know the
students. Each student was given a
welcome packet and was scheduled
for a future activity. The open house
was a huge success, with current
students, as well as new students,
participating to make this a positive
experience for all. 

In the past 18 months, Aircraft International
Services Ground (ASIG) has added well over
two dozen AIM-Manassas (AMM) students

regular flow of new student hires, ASIG has
recently set up new employee orientation and

AMM students looking ahead into a longterm aviation career have a leg-up with the
help of ASIG. Working as a fueler while
still in school is the chosen path for many
students at AMM. With full academic loads
and full-time jobs as fuelers, many students
are learning real life challenges like prioritizing, time-management and scheduling.
Grueling as it may sound, their excitement
for being part of the industry while still in
school carries them through.
AIM Oakland Students Comment on Motivation
The program has been a win-win for both
ASIG and AMM: ASIG has found a pool of
knowledgeable candidates who are eager to
learn and are excited about the opportunity. In
turn, AMM students are given the opportunity
to acquire hands-on experience, gain their airport badge, and be part of the industry.

Manassas Campus Holds Open House
On July 30th, Aviation Institute of Maintenance (AIM) of Manassas held an open
house for prospective students and their
families to become familiar with our facilities. The American Red Cross disaster relief
truck, Prince William County Fire Department, current AIM students, and fellow students from Centura College in Alexandria,
VA., a sister school to Aviation Institute of
Maintenance, joined us.
The prospective students that toured the
facility were encouraged to take in all our
school had to offer. There were two Cessna
aircraft and three engines on exhibit at the
entrance to the school. Once inside, they
were able to discover our hangar facility,
avionics shop, and instructional facilities.
The prospective students were even offered
their first experience in a flight simulator.
Outside the families could take part in a
wealth of activities. For the children, and
some adults, there was an inflatable castle
by Shannon McDaniels, AMM
complete with a slide. Attendees were also
able to take advantage of a free massage
provided by a team of massage therapists
from Centura College.
The Prince William County Fire Department supported the open house by providing
one of their fire engines and an ambulance
for the kids to explore and learn about.
Everyone was offered all-you-can eat snow
cones, cotton candy, popcorn, hamburgers,
hot dogs, and all the trimmings. Clearly,
the most entertaining part of the day was the
face-painting booth, which had the young
and old imitating their favorite superhero!
The open house was an unbelievable success in presenting potential students the culture, atmosphere, and learning environment
of the school. The energetic participation of
all the employees and students created an inviting setting and welcomed new students to
what we all hope is a future career. 

On these visits, the school has a goal of 18
units of blood for both the day and night
students.They were busy from sun up until
sun down, as there were so many volunteers
that showed their support in the “Raise Your
Sleeve” Campaign. We are pleased to say
we achieve and exceed that goal each and
every time. The Indiana blood bank helps
save lives each and every day due to the donations of our students.
Thanks, Rick Magaruh, the school’s Director of Admissions and everyone else who
came out and “Raised Their Sleeves”! 
