You possibly might have a different take on the FAA A&P when
it's the first AML in your career (As it was mine). I went to the USA
studied up (nearly 2 years), practically experienced, prepared and well read within the required syllabus as per the FAR system.
I've already detailed a few major flaws with the FAA A&P, hopefully this
will change for the better because it needs to. It is worth remembering
many FAA AMTs (IA's and otherwise) work tirelessly in the US and around the world in equivalent positions to your own with similar if not identical certification responsibilities.
Better LAE/AMT/LAME Basic & Type Training, Standards & Prospects are needed now more than ever, regardless of NAA. As a former BCAR holder, you know that.
