Been an AP for over 20 years. Went into the military at 18 and worked KC-10 and MC-130 for 10 years. Now I’m a Lead Tech with a major cargo company making over $200k a year
I’m 27 and just got exposed to the air industry. Trust me, it is good. Not over saturated, many opportunities to move up and grow. Lots of ppl who were previously exposed were military and are retiring. Definitely an industry that can use new leaders.
I just got my powerplant license on 2/22/2022. Now I’m studying for my airframe written and O+P. Its a lot of studying, but for those who’s still in school and is trying to get their license, hang in there. You can do it if you put your mind to it. Preparing for the O+P can be nerve wrecking, but if you’re prepared, you’ll be fine as you’re taking it.
@@hollyw00d89 yes i took an oral for general aviation and powerplant and will take an oral test when i test for my airframe license. With my experience, when you take your first o+p, you have to pass general before you move on to the powerplant or airframe sections. When you take your practicals, for me, the only general practicals i did was doing weight and balance records, filling out maintenance records, knowing how to fill out a form 337, knowing how to use a multimeter, and visual inspections when i was doing my powerplant practicals. And when i did my powerplant practicals, i had to remove a cylinder off an engine, lubricant the piston and reinstall the cylinder, do a compression test, you need to know what to do with the engine before doing a compression test, remove and install spark plugs, And i had to file a nick out of a propeller blade. And my DME wanted me to show him where i got my information in the maintenance manuals before i did anything.
@@pistolrocshot88 i did get my powerplant license. I think i got my license the same week i posted my original post. And congrats on you starting your journey to getting your A+P. I hope to see you out there in the field when you’re done with school.
What would you guys recommend to start learning for fundamentals for someone coming off the street into a school to try to get ahead and not drink from the fire hose of info?
That's good if you plan to be a mechanic. Look into all the areas associated with this career to plan out your path. I'll list most of them for you: Airframe mechanic involves sheet metal, composite, and welding (some places in aviation only require this certification) Powerplant mechanic (some places in aviation only require this certification) Airframe and powerplant mechanic Avionics mechanic (sometimes requires an FCC) FAA inspector NTSB inspector Aviation Inspector (sometimes requires an NDT Level 1 or 2 certification) NDT inspector levels 1, 2, and 3 (4 year degree is usually required) Pilot (private/commercial) At your age you have plenty of time and what I suggest is (with parental guidance) had your dad or guardian take you to a nearby small airport and see if you can talk to some pilots or mechanics to get a better look at aviation. In addition, you can ask your school administrators to allow your class to visit an aviation facility. On my last job in Atlanta we had several school tours.
Becoming a Airframe and Powerplant Mechanic is a right of passage of skill and knowledge and trust ...it's not a joke or some Mickey mouse certificate that cost tons of money .....peoples lives are at hand ..... it should never be takin lightly or disrespected .
How long is the schooling for it? And how much debt can I expect? I saw the faa handbook for it and it’s like 700+ pages with so much info. 🤯🤯 how do you remember all that stuff
I know this is a recruitment video for the SUU AMT program. However, there is another way to obtain your A&P certificate, its through military aviation maintenance experience. If you were/are in the military and hold (or have held) a MOS/Rating in aviation maintenance recognized by the FAA, you may already qualify to test for the A&P certificate without attending a college or university program or a private AMT School. Check with your local FAA Flight Standards District Office (FSDO). I have been a A&P (with IA) since 1994 and this is how I obtained my certificate.
Hi there! Can a Pakistani join aviation in USA as Aircraft mechanic? If not directly then what's the route to get in... I'd really appreciate your guidance 😃 I'm an Aircraft Technician in a Pakistani Airline since last two years and before that I did a three-year apprenticeship program in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering from a ANO-147 approved organization in Pakistan.
I’m so exited ,I go to the aim school in Houston Texas and it’s the best decision I made in my life ,teachers are very knowledgeable.i just finished my o&p for general and airframe ,I am so happy 😁,working on power plant .
I have been around aviation for 37 years. Turbine engines are also combustion engines. Only difference is that a turbine engine is a exteral combustion engine and a pistion engine is internal combustion.
Right now I'm in 8th grade heading into highschool and I'm wanting to be a auto mechanic or plane mechanic but this helps alot and I just wanna say thanks :)
Do aviation the auto industry has awful pay and benefits if you live in the US you'd likely be paid on a flat-rate system that is outdated and does not work well with today's modern vehicles. You invest a lot in school and learning with little return. Aviation is more complicated but at least it pays off.
I’m 15 and I think I’ve decided this is what I want for my career. I’ve always loved aviation but my first time actually flying a plane made me realize I cherish that love I have so much and I don’t want it to become boring to me. I’m pretty mechanically inclined so I think this should be a good compromise. Super glad there’s a college in my town that has an A&P course
I highly recommend that you pursue your pilot license along with your A&P license. If you have someone that can start training you now take advantage of it.

I want to go to A&P school. I'm 16 currently and graduate at 17. Can I go to an A&P school at 17? Also, could this be used to go to the marines as a fixed wing mechanic? I want to got there after A&P school. I'd love to get experience from there instead of starting off a small airline when marines have so many benefits. I want to do marines for 4 years, get a bachelors of business management (to get promoted faster) as im enlisted. Then when im 23 ill have an A&P, military benefits, A bachelors of businesses management, and 4 years experience. I wonder which employers wouldn't employ me if I have a stacked resume like that. Would all of that actually work though and could I manage all of that
Hey Dey Dey! It looks like you've put a lot of thought into this. Using our school as an example, you may be able to take some classes for concurrent enrollment to count for your college education. (Link: www.suu.edu/aviation/concurrent-enrollment.html ) Getting your AMT training with us takes about 18 months and grants you your Associate's degree, and the ability to test for your Airframe and Powerplant Certificates. If you're curious about our program, we recommend reaching out to us at aviation@suu.edu or 435-586-7862 As for your questions about the Marines, your best bet would be to speak to a recruiter about your plan. Generally, after finishing your service, you should be eligible for the G.I Bill that you could use to cover your education costs. Hope this helps!
I took power plant 1 a year ago and it was mostly theory on reciprocating engines and theory in turbine engines, I’m currently taking power plant 2 and it’s theory on the subassemblies of said engines
I’m 17 and I’m planning on getting a degree on A&P Mechanic. Also to get a Aviation license as a pilot. And work a as a Mechanic for part-time. Much love to all the Aircraft lovers.
Best of luck your career journey! If you haven't already chosen a school to complete your training, we have an excellent A&P program here at SUU. You can find information on our programs here: www.suu.edu/aviation/maintenance/ Let us know if you have any questions.
Sir you are incorrect over 30 years in aviation with regionals and the majors you don't need a bachelors degree to advance into senior management, I am still currently employed with a major airline in senior management role. You are correct there is a shortage of aircraft mechanics in our current timeline and the industry needs qualified personal to fill those positions.
What companies would be willing to do OJT? I'm currently a National Guard pilot who wants to work in the aviation maintenance field and would love to learn while I work, if that is possible.
I'm 28 been in the aviation industry for shoot 10 years now straight outta highschool. Now that I couldn't do college I'm going to study for my airframe and have an IA sign me off to test.
Many of our students balance family time and A&P training, and most work at least part time as well. It is definitely possible to make it work on top of other responsibilities.
Hello Jason! If you have any questions, our Outreach Team would be happy to help. Our Maintenance program still has spots available for Summer semester. www.suu.edu/aviation/contact.html

I would highly recommend auto classes if they’re available to you. Whether you’re going into a school, or getting your license through ojt, you’re going to look a little more presentable with previous maintenance experience.
Hi sir, I have some questions about this major: 1. What level of english do you need to learn this major? 2. How much fee do I pay for this course? I’m not a Native American, so I so confuse when I take this major. Thank you for your information.
You need to read and write in English fluently, and costs vary between schools but would be anywhere between 15-30k dollars. Currently im in a program that costs around 12k.
Airline jobs are always short the recruitment drives start as early as your first year of high school at 16 years old like me. When I got got to the first meeting I had a GED at sixteen years old because the airline industry got the school to kick me out to take the GED so I could report to work. My first day at LaGuardia the weren’t answering any of my many questions and I was so frustrated and locked in the yard at lunchtime with all the other students that I just left the school. The student recruitment is heavy and unyielding but they didn’t give me no answers. I was 16 years old. This airline industry is extremely aggressive but also unyielding and abrupt. I passed the GED three times and two of those retakes was to make sure the original score was correct.
What about UAV? By that I mean as a civilian ( not military ) ... I don't want to go to school or training most of the things in life I teach myself. so my question is would I need A&P license to work on UAV or a different license ?
Hey Dylan! Sure thing! Our AMT program is designed to be taken in 5 semesters, so roughly 18 months. We learn in Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters. Feel free to reach out to us at aviation@suu.edu or 435-586-7862 and we'd be happy to answer any additional questions you may have!
If I already have degrees in mechanical and aerospace engineering and have spent a decade designing flight structures, what's the shortest path to getting my A&P license?
I would love to start these classes but i can't afford it. So how does the free route work? Is it more like an internship where a certified technician teaches me and the I go pay for the tests then get certified?
You can get your full A&P as an apprentice in 36 months, definitely a competitive way of going about it though. If you go through a state run school and not a college, the programs are quite affordable around 15k.

Thats just wrong. You don't have any control over that. I'm tired of this liberal world, turning you down just from where you're from. Not even based upon your competence. Idk, its dumb. Unfortunately for you, but it still isn't right to do that to you
This is very inspiring thoughts. I appreciate all the explanations but when I went to your website the cost of the formation is not there am in Africa and really want to become an A&P but I want to know if it will be affordable for my parents to come and study there or if I can get a scholarship which will pay either all or part of the fees .. so I want to know all that . The price of the formation and if I can get a scholarship which will be of great help .

Hey, Potlapalli! If you already had a mechanical engineering degree you would only need to take the A&P classes. You should reach out with any questions to Aviation Admissions at aviationadmissions@suu.edu or 435-865-8148.
Yes. That is if you have 18 months experience for one license or 30 months experience for both licenses. If you have the required experience you can then take the written exams and if you pass the required exams successfully, you may take the airframe, the powerplant or both. You will have to take the general regardless. www.ecfr.gov/current/title-14/chapter-I/subchapter-D/part-65/subpart-D/section-65.77

I’m 17 and I’m planning on getting a degree on A&P Mechanic. Also to get a Aviation license as a pilot. And work a as a Mechanic for part-time.
Much love to all the Aircraft lovers.
Same bro going to college for A&P mechanic starting in 2 weeks.. wish me luck!
Best of luck your career journey! If you haven't already chosen a school to complete your training, we have an excellent A&P program here at SUU. You can find information on our programs here: www.suu.edu/aviation/maintenance/ Let us know if you have any questions.
@@gabdbuenoayo bro how you doing in your classes?
Sir you are incorrect over 30 years in aviation with regionals and the majors you don't need a bachelors degree to advance into senior management, I am still currently employed with a major airline in senior management role. You are correct there is a shortage of aircraft mechanics in our current timeline and the industry needs qualified personal to fill those positions.
What companies would be willing to do OJT? I'm currently a National Guard pilot who wants to work in the aviation maintenance field and would love to learn while I work, if that is possible.
@@christopherdukett4158 SkyWest and some other regionals, I think Jet Blue might have something as well
I'm 28 been in the aviation industry for shoot 10 years now straight outta highschool. Now that I couldn't do college I'm going to study for my airframe and have an IA sign me off to test.
Married, 2 kids and have bills but would absolutely love to study for A&P license. More like a dream at this point.
Many of our students balance family time and A&P training, and most work at least part time as well. It is definitely possible to make it work on top of other responsibilities.
He’s wrong an A&P is authorized to work on aircraft, but you need an IA to release aircraft back to service after any major alterations
Just called a school in Fremont California yesterday. Got a tour or orientation today woo!!
I think it's my time this year... I want to do this... But I don't know where to start these days

Question. So i’m currently working as a contractor aircraft mech for 3 years but never got a a&p license. And would love to get one. will they consider my experience and let me take the license test or i have to go through all the training?
How did you do that
I just applied for this education, in the EU I sure hope I will make the cut. quite excited for the future if I do make it.
That’s awesome, good luck!

@@lillylilly4631 Hi Lilly! That's great that you're thinking of pursuing this career. We've got several women in our AMT program. Here's Brin's experience: th-cam.com/video/fEWuZtlStXE/w-d-xo.html
I’m graduating at the age 17 and immediately going into school for this, any advice and what were you guys experience
Hi there! That's awesome that you're going to aircraft maintenance school. Will you be learning with us? Our outreach team can help answer some of your questions! Here's our contact info: aviation@suu.edu or 435-586-7862 We wish you the best on your aviation journey!
What subjects should I take in school for this. It's time for me too choose my subjects and I love aircrafts
I would highly recommend auto classes if they’re available to you. Whether you’re going into a school, or getting your license through ojt, you’re going to look a little more presentable with previous maintenance experience.
Automotive related..
Hi sir, I have some questions about this major:
1. What level of english do you need to learn this major?
2. How much fee do I pay for this course?
I’m not a Native American, so I so confuse when I take this major.
Thank you for your information.
You need to read and write in English fluently, and costs vary between schools but would be anywhere between 15-30k dollars. Currently im in a program that costs around 12k.
Airline jobs are always short the recruitment drives start as early as your first year of high school at 16 years old like me. When I got got to the first meeting I had a GED at sixteen years old because the airline industry got the school to kick me out to take the GED so I could report to work. My first day at LaGuardia the weren’t answering any of my many questions and I was so frustrated and locked in the yard at lunchtime with all the other students that I just left the school. The student recruitment is heavy and unyielding but they didn’t give me no answers. I was 16 years old. This airline industry is extremely aggressive but also unyielding and abrupt. I passed the GED three times and two of those retakes was to make sure the original score was correct.
What about UAV? By that I mean as a civilian ( not military ) ... I don't want to go to school or training most of the things in life I teach myself. so my question is would I need A&P license to work on UAV or a different license ?
Can you clarify the program real quick? because your website makes it sound like MUCH more than just 18 months
Hey Dylan! Sure thing! Our AMT program is designed to be taken in 5 semesters, so roughly 18 months. We learn in Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters. Feel free to reach out to us at aviation@suu.edu or 435-586-7862 and we'd be happy to answer any additional questions you may have!
If I already have degrees in mechanical and aerospace engineering and have spent a decade designing flight structures, what's the shortest path to getting my A&P license?
Hey GR! You might qualify for our "credit for experience". Check out this video for more info: th-cam.com/video/Em_DxgQLul8/w-d-xo.html
I would love to start these classes but i can't afford it. So how does the free route work? Is it more like an internship where a certified technician teaches me and the I go pay for the tests then get certified?
You can get your full A&P as an apprentice in 36 months, definitely a competitive way of going about it though. If you go through a state run school and not a college, the programs are quite affordable around 15k.

I hear that you can obtain a A&P license with sign-offs.
Yes. That is if you have 18 months experience for one license or 30 months experience for both licenses. If you have the required experience you can then take the written exams and if you pass the required exams successfully, you may take the airframe, the powerplant or both. You will have to take the general regardless.
