thanks for the responses guys, i called anac and made a request for information about my question, if it is possible for me as an estrangero with an permanent resident visa and RNE to obtain the Brasilian maintenance engineer license, and if so can I obtain it easily or do I need to take a course through a school etc...? I have an FAA A&P and Canadian M1 and M2 licenses.
they responded by directing me to these two links
Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil : Escolas de Aviação
http://www.anac.gov.br/compendio/CompendioPiloto.pdf
I have looked at both links but the dont seem to answer my questions, can anyone help?
Cheers
