thanks for the responses, i dont think the missionary work is quite what i am interested in but thanks though...... i have contacted anac, was requested to open a query, which i did and the response i was given was a list of pilot schools and the main anac website, so today i am going to try again, if there are some brasilian engineers out there, can you please help me i would like to find out how I can get the brasilian maintenance license, i have an A&P and Canadian AME M1 M2, have an RNE and permanent resident visa, and CPF........ so is it possible for me to receive the license but just doing paperwork? or do I need to write air reg exams? or do i need to take a complete course from scratch and do an apprenticeship (not likely)? Do they recognize the EASA license, I am getting that too? anyone know or can help? i have been reading the ANAC site but still have not found an answer. also thanks for everyone who has responded so far much appreciated.
