AN ACT CONCERNING INSTRUCTORS FOR AN AIRFRAME AND POWERPLANT CERTIFICATE PROGRAM.
HB 6075 establishes specific qualifications that instructors must meet to teach in airframe and powerplant (A&P) certificate programs, which train aircraft maintenance technicians. It directly affects aviation maintenance training schools and their instructors by requiring them to hold certain certifications or experience levels. The law replaces prior, less defined standards with clear, measurable requirements for instructor eligibility. This policy change ensures that individuals training future aircraft mechanics meet consistent, federally aligned competency benchmarks. The bill became law as Public Act 25-128 after the governor signed it on June 30, 2025.

MODERATE
The bill was amended to change the program name from 'airframe and power plant' to 'airframe and powerplant' (removing the space), and the eligibility requirements were expanded to allow any person who meets federal standards to be an instructor, rather than requiring them to already hold a specific certificate. The effective date was set to July 1, 2025, and the bill now explicitly states that no additional state certification is needed for instructors.
Scope change
The bill's scope was refined to apply specifically to the Connecticut Technical Education and Career System, and the instructor eligibility criteria were broadened to align with federal regulations.
REQUIREMENT
Instructor eligibility was changed from requiring a specific airframe and power plant certificate plus 10 years of experience to requiring compliance with federal regulations (14 CFR 147.19), with the certificate and experience only being optional if held.
A new provision was added clarifying that instructors do not need any additional certification or endorsement from the Department of Education.
TECHNICAL
The program name was slightly modified by removing a space in 'power plant' to read 'powerplant'.
TIMELINE
The effective date for the new section was explicitly set to July 1, 2025.
