I’m about to graduate from my last semester and I take my O&Ps For my license next week fingers crossed I pass I love this industry I’m already working for a small helicopter company as an apprentice mechanic and I love it
Hey there! Your skills very good no doubt. But the main important thing is how to find the proper consumables for repair and of course the paper work. Thanks a bunch!
Currently work at Fedex Express and because of the airport environment and seeing the people on Line Maintenance has made me want to become an Aircraft Mechanic myself. Starting school August!
congratulations. if you are interested there are many scholarships available through many different organizations to help pay for your school and would have internship or pathway programs. I would guess Fedex may even have a program if you looked into it. one I know for sure is the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA). nbaa.org/professional-development/scholarships/ they also have a mentoring network. Where are you planning to go to school?
@@dt7202 they purposely front load classes, to weed out the incompetent. Only 18/32 passed, which was usually high, even fewer got their actual A&Ps (5/18). Though I guess other schools could do it differently.
@@peterkow5705 thank you for responding. I ask because i seriously want to go back to school for this i just had some concerns about not being good enough
I want to get into aviation, I’ve been applying for aircraft mechanic apprenticeships. But many of them require experience or a a&p license. Which I’m confused about, because it’s an entry level/apprentice beginner role, how would I already have experience or my a&p license? The process is annoying, I might just give up on applying at this point.
Try volunteering at your local air museum, it's normally a great way to get experience and make some connections. Smaller / Local museums are normally better at getting you involved in a wide range of activities on a range of aircraft types rather than just doing one task repeatedly or working on one aircraft
@@flogsbymm pardon me ,how can I become a mechanic aircraft because I currently learn about composite maintenance. Is composite maintenance have a different between a mechanic aircraft ? And how can I become a mechanic aircraft . Hopely you notice 🙏
@@danialjafri5602 You will need to enroll in an aircraft maintenance program. Either an FAA Part 147 - Aviation Maintenance Technician School, or obtain the EASA Part 66 license.
Literally anything aviation related. Embry Riddle offers a free general aviation course through canvas if you can get your books early do that too really everything at first is math related
Absolutely not! There is a real shortage of Aircraft Technicians (A&P's) in the industry right now. Now is the best time to get in. Companies can't hire people fast enough. It can be a lucrative career if you get in with the right company!
i always hear that aircraft mechanics never stay at the same job they started. why is that? or they mention that they move from this place to another. im a AMT student in college at the moment and i just wanted to know what thats all about
Most of those guys are contractors. Contracts come and go, so you have to chase the money. Some mechs make $45k a year and others make $100k+. There's only so many places that offer good enough benefits and pay that make someone want to stay.
just a comment from an old "has been". it's called a blind rivet. or a pull thru rivet. cherry is the name of the manufacturer of the rivet. my two-cents.
It's slowly becoming a dying trade. It's cheaper to replace than repair, especially with a human. Airlines and railroads are in the business of making money, so anything that saves them money is what will drive their industry. Take this guy. 17 years in the field, and he calls the solder in a crimp connector "a piece of metal". The craftsmanship of a good tech is not worth it, and someone entering the field is only worth a tenth of what this guy is since they have no experience. The money in mechanics I believe is in pleasure craft. When you work on people's toys, all the way from a 25cc dirt bike to huge yatchs and private planes, your customers have more income to spend, willing to spend it, and usually aren't rushing you to the point quality suffers.
I love being an A&P. 16 years and going strong.
Really nice to see someone explain it basically, I start my apprenticeship in Dublin Aerospace in September I can’t wait
Go to school instead please. You will never pass the testing if you dont
@@Matthew33138 different systems in Ireland
Nice video, I’m going through school in 2 weeks!!! I can’t wait to start learning about this beautiful field!
How it is?
What school will you go to and why would you go to that school!?
@@MohammedAGoran-iq2ln at Spokane community college, cuz it’s near my home in Washington!
I cant wait to start studying for my A&P Certifications when Im back home. That is so cool

halfway through my AME Avionics program here in Canada. Some of that stuff we did in school so far, great video and explanation
Hi, are you done with your program?
I have admission to study AME at Mohawk College, Canada and I'd love to speak with you about the experience.
@@tegajoelMohawk!!! Ey so have u started the course? How's the experience?

Good luck buddy, drop out rate is above 50% when going through a school.
@@peterkow5705 why so high? Is it really hard to learn?

how about talking about the strain on your body? How hard is it on your joints?
Nice video.
Thanks. Recently certified AMT myself. License to learn. 😊
Noice, I work at Fedex right now as an aircraft mechanic , love it

@@niknotaviation1534 is it composite is in demand too in aviation? Maybe I keep in this program until I think 😅
wow, amazing tooling set
Is it hard to learned about this stuffs?
One of the most ignored, but awesome jobs in aviation!
How much does it cost to get an A/P license?
About $47,000
I got mine from George t baker in miami, I spent about 12,000
Anybody care to share what are some essential items before I start schooling for AMT?

From which country bro
Can you get scholarships?
show us the parts drawer--lol!
Cool vid 👍
I am going to get started on my duke it has been in the Hager for 8 years anybody wants to help give me a call or text me
Is 30 too old to start down this route. I'd be 32 by the time school is done
I’m an A&P and I don’t think it’s too old. You are going to be 32 anyway, the question is do you want to be an A&P when you are 32?

You can apply that to any job industry. You get better opportunities as you advance in your field so you’re gonna have to go to different companies
You go where the money is. I work at a major airline and make over 100k a year without overtime…jobs like the one in this video are probably half that
What school are you studying in??

Main reason to be avigation in this video
Trust me do not go in to this field, aviation automotive and trains it's not worth it.
Why?
@@tenoriovinz1995 $48 dollars an hr with just your A&P steating out at Amentum.
@@nived3211 is that a bad pay? I live in a country where 1 dollar is worth like around 50 which means that 48 dollars is 2, 400 here
Don't listen to Abe A. This individual clearly does not know what they are talking about.....
