👍My school was 18 months, I took the afternoon schedule 4pm to 10:30pm right after work. Monday - Thursday and once a month Friday.
Did you complete ?
The Community College program near me costs roughly 3000 dollars over 4 semesters IF you don't qualify for reduced or zero tuition. It's M-F 3:30 to 9:30 with Saturdays for make-up time.
Excellent channel
You're to kind
Thank you for the information, I'm planning to start school after my last bridge project that I'm working on this summer. I want to start a new life!
I appreciate the content. I just signed my application forms to start an Aviation Maintenance Technology program at Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics. Pretty excited, a little nervous about starting over at 38. But I’m over working in the oil and gas industry. I wish I learned a trade younger. Live and learn. Haha
It's never too late, one of the best aircraft mechanics I know didn't start until 36
Good shit bro you got this man
Bryce, in regard to your porch swing caveat, I just finished LSR-M and the way we were taught was that if you wanted to pursue A&P, then start an AMT log the moment we completed LSR-M. Once the equivalent of three years of work was logged, then contact the FSDO for sign off to start the process. Building one plane, you could certainly log the hours, but not necessary since an LSR-M can work for hire you can log those hours on any applicable work under the certificate. This is not a popular route as it's not structured nor speedy by any means.
This is true, I just mentioned it briefly as one of the guys at the airport. I frequent went this route after building an RV-6. I think it's worth it if you are already building an experimental but I wouldn't pursue an A&P this way. Not when a 147 school is only 12-19 months and is considerably cheaper
I attended a technical school in GA and it took me 2 years going full time.
Hey it’s ATL Tech ? Thanks
Where? I live in Athens and I’m about to go
Bryce thanks for advice I'm new to your channel Im starting a community college for airframe in August I would like to start preparing now would you please list the textbooks n any apps to be successful during the process
Am also new to this and thinking of signing up with community school , he did a video and talked about the books and apps . All the best
I dod do a video on it but some schools may elect to use different textbooks. But I made a video on the books you will need and what to study
Can you get a DME in on a video talking about the updated O&P tests?
I can try the closest one to me is a good dude but he is usually very busy as he is also a helicopter mechanic during the week.
@@brycebuildsit Thank you sir,u mentioned boeing, how could someone get a training-job at the Boeing( facilities) without any certification in this feild?
Or do they offered training programms.?
Thank u,
Hi Bryce great video. I just passed my airframe writtens and generals looking to study my oral and practicals and get ready for powerplant. Is there a way how to book for the dme testing?
ASA, Jepison, and Dauntless all publish an Oral And Practical Study Guide
Question, Im moving on to the last test oral and practical for Powerplant what exactly should I study with the new changes ? I feel jepessen question are not it anymore ?
Thank you
I have lots of people in the discord.Tell me that if they study Jefferson.They did just fine, or if they studied ASA, they did just fine.The truth is, the questions are the same.They're just worded differently. It goes back to making sure you understand the material.
attending a community college here in Northern Cal
At SCC?
I've heard that doing maintenance / repairs on your own aircraft counts toward the "experience" needed to take the test(s), provided an A&P/IA will sign you off for testing. I've been performing most all of the maintenance / repairs on the aircraft I own/fly under the supervision of my IA for the better part of 15yrs. There is a 147 school less than 2 miles from where I live, but I have no desire to start a new career after retiring from the Power Sports Industry, but it would be nice to be able to sign off and get back in the air rather than waiting for log entries..... is there any truth to this?
You can count all that. The tuff thing is an airworthiness inspector has to sign off on your 8610-2. Unfortunately, it kinda depends on the airworthiness inspector you are talking to. There are some real by the book guys, and there are guys who are more fluid.
I live in Dallas , do you know exactly where these apperentice programs airlines are doing could be found? I looked everywhere in the American Airlines and southwest website but nothing , thinking of going to TSTC in Waco.
To be honest, I'm not sure. The last time the American and Frontier came to talk to our students, they brought it up and told our students about it. I know other places like Boeing and ST Engineering also have un house apprenticeship programs. Where on the websites you find them I am not sure. Also in Dallas is Tarrent County Community College, their part 147 program is really nice and probably much closer to yoh
@@brycebuildsit they have a pretty long wait list in Tarrant County. I’ll be done in two years I’m just worried a major won’t hire me once I spent all this time and money getting my A&P.
The job market will still be demanding based off the amount of people eligible to retire
Hi Bryce, I'm a South African wanting to do my A&P license so I can serve in Aviation missions with Christian organizations. I have OTJ training for about 7 years.
Do I really have to go to a prep training school before I take my orals and Practicals?
You don't have to, no, you can self-study for the test and just take it. I only mentioned prep courses because many people like to take that rput
Thank you brother🙏🙏
Good luck to anyone who dream to be an A&P. Since 2023 the testing it is done by PSI a company base in California who write all the test and many question have nothing to do with our work as A&Ps. Each test cost $150 and they make sure you fail in one test so they can make more money. When I was in school in Tennessee we were 500 students and all of us failed at least one test (general, airframe, power plan). Many students failed 2 and all 3 written tests. Less say if 500 students need to take one test twice them PSI make $80.000.
Now you understand why writing the test in a way you can fail.
thing is they actually raised the test cost, it’s now $174 and a lot of my classmates also failed first try. i’m doing my first try monday and it’s safe to say i wouldn’t be surprised if i fail( hopefully not)
I have ran into an issue with getting signed off for my Power Plant. I have met the concurrent 30 month requirement along with the hours needed to receive the PP sign off, but was told that since I have already started testing, my general written, I must now have to wait 18 months after my certification completion of my Airframe certification date to receive the sign off for my PP. Can anyone clarify this for me?
That is false. All the regulation says is that after 30 months you are eligible to receive both. Now a FSDO inspector is who signs that off and they can choose to deny the power plant. But the only time I've heard them do that is if someone has 0 experience in that 30 months for PowerPlant. I.e. all they did was heavy structures, or wheels and brakes
i am starting my apprentiship that’s on the job training for 2 years before can take exams for liscense , any tips for getting textbooks or things to study to make sure i pass
ASA and Prepware. or jepsens general, airframe, and powerplant. 18 months of ojt is what it takes for your airframe.
You need 18 months per rating or 30 months combined experience for both Airframe & powerplant ratings
going to MIAT
Question: Is the abbreviation *_MIAT_* the _"Michigan Institute of Aviation Technology"_ or something altogether different in it's meaning ? -Thanks
@@ArchimedesDaVinci yes that is correct, however it has been bought by UTI
@@kalebfox6930 Roger That & Thank you. Canton, Michigan or Houston, Texas campus location ? *_UTI_* , _"Urinary Tract Infection"_ or something else.....?
@@ArchimedesDaVinci Houston, and no lol Universal Technical Institute
Hello good evening is it possible to sign me for retest on my AMG
Yes, you can be signed off by anyone who holds the certificate you tested for. A coworker, fellow student or one of your instructors.
@@brycebuildsit pls I do i contact you please
@@brycebuildsit I sent a message to you on email sir
@@brycebuildsit good morning I sent u an email message
I am OTJ training and I find that much better. Part 147 is a rip off system. I guess it keeps teachers employed so praise God. . OTJ is a real world experience. But thank you Bryce I enjoy your content. You should write a practical book or do a video on complete practical for airframe, power plant. I watch a lots of people who pass their A&P but are terrible mechanics. I wouldn't take my wheelbarrow to them for repairs.
God bless my brother and keep the faith.
Jesus is Real.
I agree that there are a lot of rip-off 147 schools, I tell guys to try and find a community college program and save 30k on tuition.
I'm based in South Africa. Here we work with EASA, FAA and South African CAA type of license.
