Thanks for the advice so far, I will definitely be talking to the LAME. Just a question with regards to the Schedule of Experience, do you need to do an apprenticeship type thing to be able to complete each item or would you be able to do them while volunteering and helping out?
especially if you need to fix something on location and have it signed off by the LAME when it gets back
That is another reason why I would like to get into this side of things, it would be handy to be able to do whatever needs doing myself and then to get it signed off.
