Hello guys!
I am FAA CPL/ME/IR and Easa CPL/ME/IR holder.
I also have at about 5 years of experience in maintaining aeroplanes so I would like to take the mechanic's license.
What I don't know and I am not sure is which to choose and the reason is this:
As far as I know the mechanic's license is a little useless but as far as I have the experience I would like to get it. As far as I am European I think that I have more possibilities to work on EU-reg aircrafts.
If I get the A&P it would be more easily and cheaper to make a familiarisation course on the aircraft type I would fly, if I get the part 66 I won't make type rating because of the higher cost and the mandatory 4 months of OJT.
So, for a european company it would be more preferably to have the easa part 66 b1.1 without a type rating but with the authorisation to sign some basic works on the plane, or the faa with the familiarisation course that shows that I have much knowledge concentrated on the type I fly but without permission to sign?
I am a bit confused...
Thank you!
