My school offers full-time night classes for A&P. I'm starting general in January and I'm starting a full time position at a 145 repair shop in 2 weeks. So exited for my aviation journey.
@crazyfishgaming6985 it's going great. I love working at a shop and I'm almost finished with my classes for General. I will be doing Airframe 1 in the summer.
Thank you for all your informative videos. They have helped my perspective a lot. I spent a spew years really bewting around, but Ive had work experience with cars and other things in the past and I would consider myself very mechanically inclined. I hope this goes relatively easy. I start in January with my community college and Im really excited. Thankfully this isnt going to cost me very much and hopefully I wont have any debt coming out of it but thtas not a big concern for me. Im really excited to start this at 26 and really get my life together doing something I love and will carry me far in the future. I do have to work survive so I know it will be a big challenge working alongside classes, but long weeks are something Im familiar with and I know I will rise to the challenge. Im grateful my job will work with me and help me get through this (Im a bellman and driver for a hotel, night hours and I get a lot of exposure to people in the industry because I drive flight crews to and from the airport). I have to, this is my life and future riding on this. 16 days and counting until I start school. Never have I felt so sure and excited about something in my life. I have a cousin who is a pilot who has encouraged me my whole life. Your videos on the topic have been critical in giving me assurance that this is the right kind of career for me. See you in a couple of years when this has all finally worked out for the better. Cheers.
Thank you so much for watching. It's been a great career for me. I've learned countless skills. Met a redheaded girl and made here my wife. It hasn't always been rainbows and gummy bears but I've always enjoyed it.
Loving the videos!. I am going to school right now for my A&P (plus assoc degree) about halfway through it. I will be scheduling my writtens soon. The ACS change during the beginning was a little bit of a mess but things are going well and graduates are passing O&P's. Biggest challenge is test prep as the writtens do not fullly follow prepware anymore. I talked to a student and he said he only had 2 or 3 questions out of the full bank, meaning you need to know and reason through the questions rather than memorizing.
Entirely disagree. Tested today and a good 80 questions were Prepware, and at least 15 of the others were also, but changed the answers to something else then what was on Prepware.
@@lane5477I’m starting classes next week, just got the last of the ASA test prep workbooks in the mail and now I’m reading all this stuff about how they’re not worth Jack anymore.. You were using those three red, blue and green general mechanics books right?
They are not worthless, the FAA has just rearranged questions and added some new ones. Also if that's what the school is using for your classes it's what you will need.
Starting in August trying to get ready and prepare myself. I’ve worked in aviation as a Fueler and now a repair tech for an auto manufacturer. Anything to study to give a better base knowledge?
My power plant instructor quit in the middle of the course and then you have kids straight out of high school who all they do is smoke pot in their cars and don’t seem to take this career seriously
The school where I am allows you to just take powerplant or just take airframe as someone who loves engines and is considering just taking powerplant why should I take airframe
im looking to do possible career change and love aviation and am a Certificated Private Pilot. Was thinking of getting A & P to work on my own plane and also maybe some other planes in spare time and work when i want. What would be the best route to go?
In my opinion, a 147 school is the fastest most direct route. The practical experience route is good to but you probably won't make a bunch of money without a A&P
@@brycebuildsit This is good information. I might not have to worry soo much per say about making a career out of it but do things on side or work for my self which ever makes sense. When going through the training what parts of it all would you say is the most challenging. Being i already have my PPL does that put me ahead of the game?
I'm 5 feet, 2 inches tall; is that fine for going into aircraft maintenance? Be straight with me because I still have time to look into something else.
Yes, one of the best mechanics I worked with was 5'4". Belive it or not tall is more of a hindrance than being shorter. Aircraft have lots of tight spaces that are tough to move in.
Have u heard of the best military soldiers that was 4’9 ?… height is only a hindrance when it comes to most women anything else u can excel if u are good at it
In my opinion, I would look for a school that values you as a student and doesn't just see you as a paycheck. Not every program is the same if you can tour a few of them and get an idea for what they have to offer.
Yes sir, through word of mouth. Visited the school a coworker went to after 20+ years of military service. I had to find out why they recommended it. @@brycebuildsit
There are 2, us and Hallmark. We have a wait list to get in. We only have 8 instructors, but each semester, over 50 people will try to register. So we had to limit class size to keep up. Even doing that every single instructor is working triple overtime trying to keep up.

How is it now

Thank you so much for these videos. I’m still trying to figure out what exactly I want to do in aviation, and your perspective has been helpful.

Seen the curriculum at the school, I'm attending in January. Physics-HS, barely passed geometry in HS
How ya doin?
@@ImReadyD151 decided to self-study and attend a crash course.
@@chrisej207how’d the crash course go?
@@Evan-mq5qu Working on getting 8610-2 FSDO permission.

Indeed we have been hearing the same, memorize the prepware but understand why the correct answer is the correct answer. Thank you for watching 🙏
Are you working while in school, if so difficult are handling bills, going to school, and studying?
Entirely disagree. Tested today and a good 80 questions were Prepware, and at least 15 of the others were also, but changed the answers to something else then what was on Prepware.

Awesome info!
How about a video about characteristics of your most successful students? (Their habits)
I quite like that actually, would make great conversation. Just on quick thought I will say the answer is probably surprising.
Is there anything I can read ahead of starting the program to get a better foundation.
Starting in August trying to get ready and prepare myself. I’ve worked in aviation as a Fueler and now a repair tech for an auto manufacturer. Anything to study to give a better base knowledge?
My power plant instructor quit in the middle of the course and then you have kids straight out of high school who all they do is smoke pot in their cars and don’t seem to take this career seriously
if that is true you should be talking to FAA not here.
Very informative! Thx!
I’m more worried about the practical than the oral. Any tips?
The first part of the standard is to read and follow procedures. As long as you ask for the manual or procedure and follow it you'll be just fine.
The school where I am allows you to just take powerplant or just take airframe as someone who loves engines and is considering just taking powerplant why should I take airframe
Are A&Ps required to have a physical exam done every two years?
The channel is dope industry hangout.
No, the only requirement by reg is that you are capable of performing the tasks necessary to complete your job.

Can I also take out some kind of student loan to pay for my bill so I can hundred percent just focus on school?
Yes, that's what I did when I went through school.
@@brycebuildsit do you happen to remember the loan company?
@Vgk36 I do not, I'm sorry.

Im 63 inches and my co worker is 60 inches.
It’s not an issue. Airlines provide ladders.
If it's your cup of tea they would love to have you for fuel tanks.
What should one look for in a AMT school?
In my opinion, I would look for a school that values you as a student and doesn't just see you as a paycheck. Not every program is the same if you can tour a few of them and get an idea for what they have to offer.

@@brycebuildsit in reference to 8610 permission based on work experience--can you go to any FSDO or you have to go where you regionally fall under?
I think you can go to any, but I'm not positive on that one. I know they would prefer that you go to your regional FSDO
So you teach in San Antonio?
I do.
@@brycebuildsit I have been trying to get in that school
