I remember watching this the morning I started General 1. I remember thinking that this is too complicated and I was scared shitless, now I’m in airframe 2 and I understand everything they’re doing.

I’m starting classes in 2 weeks and am shitting my britches with the nerves.. all the people at the school assured me I didn’t need to know Jack shit to do well in the classes but I’m still pissing my pants over the math side of things. In your professional should I try and re-teach myself some physics basics before starting classes or is it better to go in as a clean slate and let the teachers teach me the way they want it taught?

@godlevelkaleb 10 ай бұрын

you dont need to re teach yourself anything. All of the math and concepts will be explictly shown and taught to you. A&P school is the one place where you dont need to know anything prior to going. Sometimes things wont make sense with concepts but thats just how it is, take it one the surface. The hardest math portion is weight and balance but the way to find that will be provided. And sheetmetal equations will be provided and same with the blade blending equations.@@lukekelchner5471

"I ordered some, then I found 2 bags" Isn't that how it always works? (and most would almost never find those bags had he NOT ordered more) Guy seems like a good instructor, keep up the morale, sir! (and eye protection demands) The world needs more of you.

I’m an airline AMT with a major airline. I started in the military as a helicopter mechanic. I went to Rice Aviation at Broward College (BCC) when I got out of the Army. That school made the difference in my interview. It showed how serious I was to my employer. 35 years later I look back and think I made the right decision. I got the job(career), the girl (wife of 35 years) and outperformed all of my childhood friends financially. It tooksmart/hard work to get through the school and through the door at the airline. The reward is a top pay scale of is $120,000 with no overtime and $250,000 if you’re a workaholic. Just remember... you’re only as good as your last push out from the gate.

After a 40 year career and retired a few years ago i can say aviation was the best thing for me. I loved it. Still do. Worked airline. Wouldn't go back to that. Spent most of my time in general aviation. King Air, Citation, Falcon, etc. Much less specialization and pretty much did it all. I loved troubleshooting problems daily. Assembly/rigging and engine work was my happy place. Living in Texas it was hot, cold, wet at various times. Just dressed for it. Find your niche and remember the A&P is just a license to learn......I learned something everyday.

@charles2243 Жыл бұрын

Don't worry about A&P school that licenses just to get you in the door....I got 34 years experience Air Force and Southwest Airlines...you tend to specialize in the certain areas I never do sheet metal work and if I do I tend to do it with somebody who's got 20 plus experience in sheet metal and that's all they do....I mainly just did flight controls and I guess general aviation stuff engine changes door changes stuff like that...if you want to make money get experience wherever you can get it and get into the major airlines

Hey Charles, if I may pick your brain for a minute I have a few questions. First off, im asking for my son. He graduated high school last year and is looking into being a mechanic and getting his A&P cert. At the high school he graduated from they put together a plane ( a vans(?) Aircraft) and flew it over the lake with the teacher. I've been a freight train conductor for 20 years, so he understands traveling for the job. Anyway, is there a lot of overtime? Traveling for work? Any certs besides A&P that would help? Thanks in advance and stay safe

I remember doing stuff like this a couple months back in Airframe, all the riveting and sheet metal repairs and the rest of them. Now going through Avionics, then Powerplant........I was in tech and didn't see myself in the aviation industry, but it's growing on me.

Do you know how to join in airline company as aircraft mechanic?

@MacksMinimum 2 жыл бұрын

Hi @Miller Jimenez. Yes, there’s a couple methods of being hired. One is working as what’s called a “mechanics helper”, where you go around cleaning the aircraft, and slowly advancing in knowledge to be able to maintain certified aircraft, but you still need supervision of an A&P mechanic. It takes 3 years of experience before you can go on to certification. The other method is by attending an A&P school which is listed under FAA Part 147, which is what the students are doing in the video
