I must say ii finding it a bit sad it's all been dumbed down.
Incidentally my civilian licences cover me for Airframe, Engines, Electrics, Instruments, Compasses and basic radio.
The licence is Airframe Engines, the rest come under that.
Nutloose, again I retired a few years ago so may be out of date here. When I left the SAC(T) graduated from the schools with the SAC rank. LAC being held for short time under training. I don't agree with the dumbing down assessment - different times requiring different solutions - things that don't evolve die. The old system was designed for the cold war era - it did not suit the emerging deployable airforce. The training on both FT fitter courses and the apprentice courses was by the operational performance standard overgenerous and costly.
