Guppy,
Mate, me thinks that is what we were all getting at, yes you are not type rated, but having done a type specific course would make you more attractive as an A&P mechanic when it comes to find another job.
So if someone has shown you how to a job once, you are able to certify for this task the next time you do it. Is it logged that you have been shown this task before, or is it up to you as an A&P to say.
What i am getting at is that i know operators that certify for N registered aircraft(not in the States) that will certify for a task on an aircraft that they have never touched let alone could identify the type it is.
This too me seems very wrong.
