grounded27. My point was aimed at the FAA licensing system , which, as far as I am aware has no avionics category only the A+P categories. If I am wrong in this then I apologise. looking at the FAA website about mechanic licensing I can find no category for avionics on there. Obviously I was not saying that the US has no avionics guys. I have met quite a few and I am sure they were not figments of my imagination. Well, fairly sure anyway!
