AIM Atlanta Announces New
Aviation Structures Program
The Atlanta area campus of Aviation Institute of Maintenance (AIM) is helping to meet
the demand for qualified aviation mechanics
with the addition of the “Advanced Structures

p
program.

The Structures program will involving

and pressurized

design have created even greater demands
for well qualified sheet metal and composite
technicians. This program takes the technician
to a much higher degree of specialized skills
involving the complexities of sheet metal and
composite repair and installation,” states the
Campus Executive Director, Reggie Baker.
This program is designed to qualify graduates
for a career in aviation, automotive, or marine technology, or any industry requiring the
needs for composite and sheet metal expertise.
“Our first class begins October 2012. We are
excited to be able to again provide a program
that meets the needs of the aviation community,” adds Baker. 

“The experience in participating in this
camp was amazing! I was able to have
hands-on experience with engines, metal,
torches, and much more. My favorite
engine was the turbine, it was loud and
strong, “ states Reynaldo Roman.
Bisham Persaud added “It was a great
experience, I learned more than I thought.
This program helped me gain a lot of
knowledge of what is aviation.”
The students were exposed to experiences
such as working on engines; taking them
apart and rebuilding them; working with
composites; handling tools; metals and
welding. What most impressed the students
was the ability to see the end product of their
efforts and when they started the engine and
listen to the “Jet Noise”, the participants

Mr
really enjoyed the powerful sound.
When I asked Mr. Wyatt about the secret
of his success in teaching, he shared that
he has a passion for aviation and teaching,
“I want to make a connection and engage
the students in the elements of how engines
work and making the concepts simple
enough for the student to relate on how
aviation maintenance works.”
Mr. Wyatt says that his favorite part in
working with the camp participants was
to be able to open their eyes to what it
means to be an AMT professional. The
instructor’s best experience was working
on an aircraft engine with the students,
taking it apart and putting it together
and firing it up. The students were
mesmerized with this experience and the
instructor felt fulfilled with the success of
this Summer Camp 2012. 

by Rowe Leathers, AMM
The final person is Loren Hershberger is
our Fall 2012 Class Valedictorian. Hershberger will not be able to attend graduation
because he is working third shift as a mechanic at the airport and the nights that he
is able to get off work, he likes to be home
with his family.
During his time at AIM, Hershberger was
always purposeful. He worked all day, attended evening classes and looked for opportunities to hone his skills in aviation. In
class he was willing to help other students;
he looked for scholarships and completed
an internship with DynCorp International.
All while maintaining a 4.0 GPA. Hershberger recently earned his A&P certificate.
He will do well in all of his ventures. It’s
in his nature.
AIM campuses are melting pots. We are
surrounded by unique people with great stories to tell. When you get a chance, why not
take a few minutes to get to know the person
sitting next to you. Their story may surprise

another key element to success and must

ATA Anniversary
By Andy Duncan, AMI
September 8th, marked the 24th year of
AIM Indianapolis. Aviation Institute of
Maintenance was founded by American
Trans Air Training Corporation which was
solely owned and operated by ATA Airlines.
The campus was locally known as ATA
Training Academy until June 1, 2004 when
it became Aviation Institute of Maintenance.
Join with us in celebrating 24 years of continuous operation. We look forward to what
the future brings and building on the rich
history of AIM Indianapolis. AIM Indianapolis is an award winning campus having
earned both the FAA Diamond award and
The Excellence in Avionics Training Award
by the AEA for the past seven years. We
can’t wait to celebrate our “Silver” anniversary next year. 
The WWI Project
is Back!!
By David Meierotto, AMD
AIM-Dallas has renewed vigor regarding the
WWI plane project. They selected the Sopwith Pup A7327 from the Number 46 Squadron, flown by Captain S.H. Pratt. Pratt’s distinctive skull and crossbones on his wheel
covers were legendary as he became an ACE
with the RAF #46 Squadron while flying the
Sopwith Pup as their WWI aircraft to build.
In the spirit of promoting campus involvement for the WWI project students, faculty,
or staff, who wish to obtain a WWI shirt
must log 23 hours (half of the RAF No. 46
Squadron) of activity with the Pup project.
This can include but not limited to actual
hands on work, promotion and or preparation, cleaning, and organization of the work
space. These activities are considered supporting the project and worthy of logged
time towards the shirt requirements.
Once students, faculty, or staff have logged
46 hours on the
WWI
project
they will receive
a service strip to
be ironed on their
left sleeve. Every
46 hours logged
thereafter will be
rewarded with another strip. 

AIM Oakland Expanding & Growing
by Aranzu Perez, AMS
It wasn’t too long ago when the Oakland Campus was getting ready
to open its doors to the very first class back in February 2011. Now
the campus is getting ready to see that class graduate and be successful in their future endeavors. The students have been working
hard with the Career Services Coordinator, Amanda Lloyd. She is
an Oakland native and has her Bachelor’s Degree from Mills College. In her previous position, she had worked with everyone, from
seasoned veterans to aspiring professionals, to help them find fulfilling employment opportunities. Even though she has only known
the students for couple of weeks, she is dedicated to them and their
success. AIM Oakland has been growing during these past two
years. The campus’ second class started on May 7, 2012 and now
proudly announcing the third class start for September. Instructors
and staff are looking forward to the graduation ceremony and will
keep working as a team to make sure our graduates succeed. 
