It might be something to consider if you're not happy where you are at present. I'm not sure what an A&P program entails, but I'm guessing it's like getting an AME license up here  |
The A & P program was just a program to teach you how to work on aircraft. Classes like Airframe electrical, structural, Powerplants... Some math classes, aerodynamic theory... I don't even remember all the courses. I know it was about 2-1/2 to 3 years of classroom and hands on work. Should have taken my test after finishing.
I'm currently looking into refresher courses. They appear to be quite expensive. I also contacted the department head (one of my old instructors) at the tech school I went to. Maybe he can help me out. Seems like I remembered that if I needed refreshers down the road they would provide cheap or free.
As far as right now, I work on the bottom rung of the engineering department in a manufacturing facility. It's sort of cushy with okay pay. It's sort of going down hill though. Responsibilities piled on faster than I can get the stuff done. Job satisfaction in the crapper basically.
Right now I'm thinking about chasing the childhood dream of moving to Alaska and striving to be a bush pilot or something. Do mission work, I don't know... Might sound silly but I don't know.
Oh, don't know what "AME" is. Aircraft Mechanics.... Expert? I don't know. I know here, you have to have either military experience on aircraft or taken some courses before taking the tests. There are three written: Airframe, Powerplant, and General. Then there are Oral then practical tests for at least the Airframe and Powerplant. Probably General too...
