I got my A&P licenses recently and wanted to thank you for your advice in this video. Every time I was stressing or doubting myself on being able to pass my O and Ps I rewatched this video. Thanks again!
Congrats man! Don't know you but I'm happy for you going through the program myself I know the mental strains it puts on you and the time you put into it! Good job
Have mine coming up on the 20th. Excited and super stressed because I had to take a year and a half off. It’s been too long away from the books and the tools, but my writtens expire this month soooo time to get with it! I wanted Ron as my DME, but unfortunately you know how booked he is. Pray for me, my friend, congrats on your hard work and successes. 🎉
CONGRATULATIONS! And, I can’t thank you enough for this video. It’s so helpful. I start school in 2 weeks and you sharing your experiences is incredibly valuable. Thanks again and a huge congrats to you.
This was some good info--I'm an Army vet who has been out for almost a decade, and it's been that long since I touched an aircraft. So I'm nervous about the practicals, but the orals most of all. I'm doing a prep course and the guy running it is really good, so I'm optimistic too even though there may be practical tasks I've never done. Appreciate the words on what to expect with the DME and congrats on passing! I'm strongly considering applying at AA too once I get my A&P.
Nice that your back at it after so long. & Orals will be fine I was the same way but nothing studying can’t help with & anytime I appreciate the feed back
Thanks for this. I’ve got my general and airframe O&P scheduled in a couple months and I’m already nervous lol. Electricity and generators are a weak spot of mine, it I feel okay about the rest in general. I’m still going to have the instructors at school review with me before I go just to get a little more confidence. Congrats on passing!
Yeah that definitely helps. I did that the night before and it helped me remember some difficult questions. So good thinking! And electricity orals isn’t so bad compared to the actually prepware questions lol
Just started classes yesterday. Im very excited but also humble because this is a lifestyle not just a career. I struggle at taking tests so i will try my best to study and take notes
Nice man congrats and I would say read the assigned chapters for your classes it would help you understand and be better at understanding the test questions
Yeah definitely is it’s trade school they gone accelerate everything. Just do your part n read! Your chapters n do the school work. You’ll be fine. Study up on your prepware as well
I took and finished the airframe and powerplant oral and practicals 2 days ago. I was super nervous about it and studied my ass off, but once I got in, I realized it was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I was over the moon when I recieved my A&P.
@@Avation.Experience thanks man! And believe it or not, I did actually somewhat have fun during the practicals once I got the hang of it. Even though the school I went to left a sour taste in my mouth, I got my A&P anyways. On to bigger and better things now. 🫡
I appreciate you bro! I’m in the military and I want to take my exams because I have experience from the military in aviation. I know the test is hard I’m not sure if I wanna go to school for it when I get out or just study and take the test. Any suggestions?
Lol I’ll say good luck but you don’t need it you been studying 📚 💪🏽 it’s gone be fine. I encourage you to have a conversation with him before hand so you won’t feel as nervous like he’s a complete stranger
I’m taking my o&ps next weekend. I know the jeppensen oral questions really well already. Did you use any other resources to study, or was the jeppensen enough to get you through your test?
I have my Oral and practical for powerplant/general in 9 days and I’m beyond nervous. But I’ve studied like crazy and feel confident! I’ll keep y’all updated. If I don’t respond remind me to update y’all lol
Once I passed my FAA written first person I called was my mom to tell her I passed, second person was the DME to schedule my oral and practical 😂 study hard and trust your studying. I hope it all pays off 🙏
Nice!! Congratulations bro! Keep pushing next is that airframe which gone be a breeze since it’s only one. Lol when I passed I went straight to the DME then made my calls 😂😂
Is it okay to only study the appendix's questions on oral and practical in the Jeppesen or study the entire book instead? I am studying for my tests and everything seems to stress me up.
If you studying for your orals you should be studying all the questions back there. Jeppeson is the book to go. It’s stressful studying the questions n remember but once you do they will stick n you’ll definitely start to feel better
I have my airframe and general O&P as well as written coming up. About how many questions did you get asked for the oral? Is it like a certain amount out of every single section? and ive heard you cant miss any oral questions? Im so nervous
Congrats you made it! As far as the oral they ask you 4 question per section and you have to answer atleast 3 correct if not they ask you another set which you have to get correct in order to pass that section with a 70%. My motto is if you studied your bound to be good a certain questions which will eventually come up if you can’t get the 3/4 correct the 1st time
Hey Guys, i need a little help. I'm taking my Orals and Practicals in 2 weeks. Where do you find the information if you don't know how to do a project, like a reference.
in school you probably heard of AC: 43.13-1B "Advisory Circular" methods, techniques, and practices. you'll find what your looking for. www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/media/Advisory_Circular/AC_43.13-1B_w-chg1.pdf
People at my school recommended 1 month but I took 2 months and it really depends on the availability date your dme has which typically be 2 months out but I recommend 2months!
I didn’t go to school and I’m unfortunately one of the lucky ones that work for a company that pays as an apprentice and I’ve been in this trade for 7 yrs. but all my experience is based on Rotor wings. I passed all my written test but take my O&P on the 28th. Any pointers on what to expect or prepare for on my Oral and practical? Thanks anyone
Best thing you can do is study them jeppeson oral questions & focus on your weak chapters once you study the books & your practicals it would help to know your ac 41.13.1b and your fars. If you get your practicals ahead of time get up on UA-cam refresh your memory
Hi I have question please When he ask you to do balance to the flight control can you explain more Did you do actual balancing or just procedures to point it
the math part for a&p is hard ask man electrical theory is something else any pointers on someone who is the good with math its been 5 yrs since I last did math
Hi. I was just wondering did you used Jeppensen books to study for Orals? I looked through the Crane/ASA too but that was so much information. So im not sure if Jeppensen was similar to your actual Orals as well. I go to Houston AIM. Thank you
@@Avation.Experience i did asked him. All he said was “study the study guides” which AIM given us is the ASA/Crane book and its not helping lol. Too many in depth questions. Reddits n fellows like you told me Jeppensen is more similar to the actual exam.
For that long I’ll be happy to slap you back to reality and say you need to be trying month to month lol but imagine if you have been trying within that 1st year month by month, where you you be within the 1st year ?
From my experience they say “ once you pass the orals your good” because the dme can help & guide you for your practicals just not orals so you should be fine
@@Avation.Experiencebro thanks for replying I just passed my generals written ,I know it’s kind of early to be thinking about the oral and practical but I know I suck at projects ,that’s my weakness ,so I’m trying to get a clue about practicals so I can Atleast practice a little after school each day.bro I’m happy for you by the way ,you motivating a lot of people bro ,bless
No not really. You just watching videos on different practicals will only help or actually practicing some in school. I know kids in my school got with instructors and just joing in their class lesson when they were doing hands on stuff
I got my A&P licenses recently and wanted to thank you for your advice in this video. Every time I was stressing or doubting myself on being able to pass my O and Ps I rewatched this video. Thanks again!

Congrats! And it usually is lol ppl make it seem so scary which it does sound like a huge challenge but studying makes you confident
@@Avation.Experience thanks man! And believe it or not, I did actually somewhat have fun during the practicals once I got the hang of it. Even though the school I went to left a sour taste in my mouth, I got my A&P anyways. On to bigger and better things now. 🫡
How did you balance the flight control surface?
Congrats bro I just finished my written airframe but now I don’t think I’m ready for orals
Nice congrats 🎉 and don’t be follow what I did in my video for studying for orals and you’ll be confident and ready in no time!
where did you take your tests at and who was your DME and where?
I appreciate you bro! I’m in the military and I want to take my exams because I have experience from the military in aviation. I know the test is hard I’m not sure if I wanna go to school for it when I get out or just study and take the test. Any suggestions?
If your eligible three you’re military experience I’ll say save the money from attending & hit the jeppeson books to freshen up
Dont go to school. Look up a&p crash courses. Take exams and roll
Congrats man you did it! mine is on the end of the month I'm kinda worry now lol
Lol I’ll say good luck but you don’t need it you been studying 📚 💪🏽 it’s gone be fine. I encourage you to have a conversation with him before hand so you won’t feel as nervous like he’s a complete stranger
Do the DME’s typically give you your list of practicals before your test day or is it depending on the DME?
Bro if you can help me after I pass my airframe written on the general and airframe practicals please bro
Honestly I don’t remember the practical stuff very well
Thank you! Really appreciate your videos. I passed! 🎉
CONGRATULATIONS 🎉🎊🍾 and np glad the videos can give that encouragement!
wait so are you a flight attendant or an AMT?
@@matiasbeccaglia8786 right now? FA and Airframe Mechanic.
I’m taking my o&ps next weekend. I know the jeppensen oral questions really well already. Did you use any other resources to study, or was the jeppensen enough to get you through your test?
I only used the jeppeson. That was enough for me & good luck!! 🍀
Hey man, how many questions did he asked from each chapter?
I have my Oral and practical for powerplant/general in 9 days and I’m beyond nervous. But I’ve studied like crazy and feel confident! I’ll keep y’all updated. If I don’t respond remind me to update y’all lol

I forgot to update, but I got my Powerplant license! Now I have to get my airframe license and be a full blown A&P. Up next 😎 in about 6 months
Nice!! Congratulations bro! Keep pushing next is that airframe which gone be a breeze since it’s only one. Lol when I passed I went straight to the DME then made my calls 😂😂
I wanna do this im just bad at math
Is it okay to only study the appendix's questions on oral and practical in the Jeppesen or study the entire book instead?

Congrats. Are you graduated from Philadelphia AIM? I got my a&p from there.
Thanks 🙏🏽 & Yeah I am
What kind of stuff did they have you do for practical? I’m assuming things that are done in lab projects in school?
Yup anything on your practicals is pretty much things you have done hands on at some point in school
How many hours did you study
I have my airframe and general O&P as well as written coming up. About how many questions did you get asked for the oral? Is it like a certain amount out of every single section? and ive heard you cant miss any oral questions? Im so nervous

@@Avation.Experience thank you so much brotha on the pointers. Congrats man on your passing
@@hushhunting8083 yeah sorry. 43* and no prob anytime! Good luck on your o&p
Hi
I have question please
When he ask you to do balance to the flight control can you explain more
Did you do actual balancing or just procedures to point it
And congratulations
Thank you! & I actually took the aileron off balanced it with equipment according to what the maintenance Manuel said and determined it’s limits
the math part for a&p is hard ask man electrical theory is something else any pointers on someone who is the good with math its been 5 yrs since I last did math
You should seek a tutor thats what i did, and most of the math conversions you can use a calculator
How many days did you study for the oral I know it’s 608 questions lmao I take my O&P next week
I say about a month and a week. And good luck 🍀 Let me know how it goes!
Bro I studied the jeppeson books and 100% of my orals were from that book, passed my generals and airframe o&ps in 8 hrs
okay thanks
What was the practicals?
Hi. I was just wondering did you used Jeppensen books to study for Orals? I looked through the Crane/ASA too but that was so much information. So im not sure if Jeppensen was similar to your actual Orals as well. I go to Houston AIM. Thank you
yes i solely ordered the jeppensen for airframe and general orals. which my dme tested me on
@@Avation.Experience thank you so much. Your reply helps me tremendously.
@@anh2988 your welcome! Also maybe have a convo with your dme one day.
@@Avation.Experience i did asked him. All he said was “study the study guides” which AIM given us is the ASA/Crane book and its not helping lol. Too many in depth questions. Reddits n fellows like you told me Jeppensen is more similar to the actual exam.
@@anh2988 yup jeppeson better off, Study up good luck!
So does the dme ask you every oral question that's in the study guide?
Man sorry for the late reply. But no he don’t ask you every question just 4 you have to get 3 right if not he asked you 3 more wuestions
I have been postponing mine for almost 2 years and I kindly need a slap
For that long I’ll be happy to slap you back to reality and say you need to be trying month to month lol but imagine if you have been trying within that 1st year month by month, where you you be within the 1st year ?
Congrats bro I take mines on the 28th any pointers?
Focus on them weak sections cause that can make or break you passing. That was the only time I saw I had a hard time not being fluent in a section
Did he ask any math ?
@@Carlcameron6638 nah mines didn’t but I would still prepare for it
We should chat again sometime soon.
Yeah, We should talk to ya soon!
I’m just worried about practicals
From my experience they say “ once you pass the orals your good” because the dme can help & guide you for your practicals just not orals so you should be fine
So your DME gave you your practical projects ahead of the test?
Yeah
@@Avation.Experienceare the suppose to?or he was just nice to you ?
@@Carlcameron6638 I think certain ppl did that because they know it’s just a license to learn and not try to be so tough on you like other dme’s

just scheduled for next week 🙏🏽
Looking forward to the video
@@Avation.Experience how’d it go man, I’m taking mine in a couple of days feeling good
So will the jepperson help with practicals ?
No not really. You just watching videos on different practicals will only help or actually practicing some in school. I know kids in my school got with instructors and just joing in their class lesson when they were doing hands on stuff
@@Avation.Experiencebet thanks
That Lenovo laptop……. 700 dollars for a 100 dollar laptop, I’ll never forget lol. I would have rather had the books
Lol for real man one of the biggest scams not to mention the books on the flash drive you got charged for 😂😂😂
Or is it random selection 🤔
They do pick up random question to ask you but it’s on all sections
What’s yr dme name ?
Ron stevens
Do you have any of his contact?
