House Bill No. 6075, also known as Public Act No. 25-128, establishes new criteria for instructors in the airframe and powerplant certificate program within the Connecticut Technical Education and Career System. Effective July 1, 2025, the bill allows any individual to serve as an instructor if they meet the requirements outlined in 14 CFR 147.19 and, if they possess an airframe and powerplant certificate, have at least ten years of experience as an aerospace technician.
Importantly, the bill clarifies that there is no requirement for instructors to hold any certification or endorsement from the Department of Education to teach in this program. This change aims to broaden the pool of qualified instructors by focusing on practical experience rather than formal educational certifications.
