Northrop Rice Foundation - Aircraft Maintenance Tools Program
Aircraft Maintenance Tools Program
Problem: AMT school graduates, veteran military aviation maintenance personnel, and civilian’s with qualifying work experience (Qualified Candidates) are faced with having to obtain a very large inventory of tools that cost upwards to $50,000, and this is keeping many from entering the aircraft maintenance field.
Vision: When a certified AMT retires, the question arises concerning what the individual will do with the tools purchased and collected during employment years. Even if the decision is to maintain the tool set, relatives must address distribution of the tools when the retired AMT dies. Our vision is to implement a successful program with retirees donating their tools to deserving AMTs who need to obtain tools for employment.
Program: Qualified Candidates desiring to obtain previously owned tools, donated by other AMTs, may apply for this support using the link below.
