Great to see Josh and Chelsea. They are the best… love them.
I'm going to get my A&P the fall in a 12 month program! This was very encouraging
That is awesome!!!
Chelsea, I think that is a great idea. Pilots can actually do a ton of work on their plane, but most pilots really don’t want to go down that route. It saves me tons of money and I know more about my airplane. I wish the FAA would expand the things a pilot can do. I do think it would be great if there was and ownership/maintenance module you could take with your VFR or IFR training. I would pay for a module like that, especially a make/model specific module. (SR22, please). It’s much better than piecing it together from UA-cam or MX manuals.
I agree with you Chelsea, as an Air Force avionics technician I became a much better technician when I got my pilots license. And I believe all pilots should spend time learning maintenance.
Working on my A&P right now. Would prefer to be in GA because of the community and the people you meet. Not much of that with the airlines anymore sadly.
Love that! We’ll be lucky to have you
Excellent episode Dan, Christy, Josh and Chelsea. I agree whole heartedly about the editing of videos. I would also love to be an A&P, but I can't justify that amount of money and time while being the soul provider for my family. If I ever am lucky enough to own my own aircraft, I would gladly do what maintenance is permitted. I hope we as a community and industry can find a solution to the A&P shortage. Congratulations, Josh, for 80991 being on display at the Garmin booth. Everyone keep up the excellent work. Have a safe and wonderful time at OSH. Safe skies my friends 🇺🇸🛩️
I would LOVE to be an aviation mechanic, was a motorcycle mechanic, but will NEVER spend 65K to go back to school!!
Editing content is both brutal and satisfyingly creative at the same time. It's amazing how it's far from intuitive
We all want more chelsea!
That's fantastic news, congratulations Chelsea on your AMT qualification with Inspection Authorisation (part 43 FAR)
🌏🇭🇲
i know what you mean. the LSA side of things is having the same issue with LSRM etc as well so i'm contemplating going up north for a few weeks to do the LSRM course next year. Also, you might want to try and find Rachel from Rachels jewlery .. she has an awesome story to tell about how she started a business to pay for her bushcat which is right by the entrance to oshkosh... it's the bright pink one.
I went to college for aircraft maintenance in Canada.... But I graduated just after 9/11; that combined with being poor at making connections with people and not being able to move out of my city, I couldn't find work. Now at 40, I'll have to not only retrain, but deal with a significant pay cut I wouldn't be able to sustain living on my own. Similar happened with my pilot license....I just can't break into aviation and have all but given up. Cost of entry is high which makes it hard for many to access
Thank you for the great interview.
Man, Chelsea made a damn good point about A&Ps buy and large being picked up by these Commercial level entities rather than going down to GA maintenance. I saw this a lot in my time as a helicopter mechanic in the military. Guys and Gals would get out, get their A&P, and then run to Bell, Sikorsky, Lockheed, Boeing, what have you where they knew they would make some damn good money as a subject matter expert. That's not the path I took, I got out and went to work for a local shop that works an exclusively GA fleet. It is rough and it can feel really shitty at times, and it certainly isn't where an A&P is going to make the big bucks, but this is the root of all aviation. Without these GA Jacks of all Frames, I feel that not only GA but aviation as a whole is going to suffer because of it.
A lot of high schools have STEM aviation programs. More need to add Aviation Maintenance programs to their local or county Vocational/Technical schools. Schools of Westfield MA did it and there is one in Farmingdale NY. These schools are graduating students that are ready to take their general and airframe test and then they finish up their power plant locally. We need to add more mechanics to the industry and Highschool is the place to get it started. The kids love it! My daughter is in the Westfield MA program.
Very informative stream. Thanks guys.
Well I was just in Duluth/ Superior/ WI where it was 75 degrees!! Which I could have come that way.. Maybe there will be an Oshkosh in Wichita one day the heart of Avaition.. Or better yet, Taking Off sponsor a new "Fun under the clouds - Wichita"
Wow - Josh really added to the humor!! I wish his videos were more this type of talk over the narration.
A relative if mine is a mechanic for SW.. Close to retiring - I'm betting he will retire and go into GA as he does already some moonlighting but in a cooler climate.
I applied for an apprentice job in an aviation shop. I have some background I think they would appreciate. But never heard a word back. And the job is still posted.
Good morning from Minnesota!! Great episode!!
The aircraft maintenance tech situation sounds dire, but try getting into it here in Australia. We don’t have the schools you can go to.
I'm seeing a whole new market for Garmin. Tents and outdoor equipment.
Teaching the skills to work on your plane is one thing, investing in the equipment to work on your plane adds a whole new problem!
Great & fun interview!!!!!! I love you all!!!!
I had a 2 month long annual last year crossing my fingers this year is better.
I was chatting with my A&P a few years ago and he was telling me about getting his lawn mower fixed because he didn’t have time to deal with it and the mower repairman charged more per hour than he did. I can’t imagine all that training and especially the liability then make less than a mower repairman.
Enquiring minds want to know, when is Josh going to pop the question to Chelsea?
Maybe he's waiting on her to Pop the question....
As someone from Scotland, I am now very interested in your Scotland trip. I hope you had a wonderful time here
I LOVED it! I want to come back soon.
@@TakingOff Wonderful. I don't know why, but I always feel bad when people don't have a nice experience here haha
@@nuancematters I don’t know how that could happen
Do you have any info on ap hybrid programs?
Co stars ⭐️
Remember, a good pilot is always learning
Geez the upspeak
With the MOSAIC changes many more GA aircraft may fall into Light Sport, enabling the LS Repairman changes to allow lower time mechanics to do GA repairs. Thoughts?
Hmm, not if it's a certified aircraft I believe. Light sport or not it's still a certified aircraft, right? I mean so an a & p still needs to sign off on it, correct? It would need to be changed to experimental category as I understood it?
Where is 310 pilot? Haven’t seen a new video for quite a while. Hope all is ok.
Wouldn't it be something if those codes could stack? :D
@11:40 Can a private pilot work for a maintenance shop (1)do oil changes for others airplane and (2)tires? FYI I already do in my private vehicle for the last 23 years what is the difference?
LGB!
Speaking of the GA maintenance crisis, I heard Jack Pelton talking about the recent MOSAIC NPRM. The one thing he said that he would like to see added to it is the ability for owners of eligible certified aircraft to trade in their standard airworthiness certificates for a special Light Sport certificate. This would allow Light Sport Repairmen to work on the airplanes. Right now a Light Sport Repairman certificate takes about 3 weeks.
Many automotive shops have shop rates >$100/hr.
Actually $100+ depending where you are.
Re: Mechanic shortage. FAA needs to create another cert for GA that is easier to get. Or maybe the mechanic equivalent of a PPL?
You guys are now so big you need dedicated editors.
I have video editing experience and I'm working toward my PPL. Josh's channel inspired me to go for it. I reached out on Instagram.

Only one person can talk at a time. When two people talk at a time, he audio is jumbled.
The CRJ-900 is a way better plane than that 175! 😊
Oh snap @pilotchristy
Talking about being a UA-camr on UA-cam is lame.
Josh’s ego arrived at the stage 15 minutes before he did.
But left as soon as Chelsea started lol
