How to become an A&P engineer...

[OE-LBA]

Hi!

I was wondering how many possibilities there are to become an A&P Engineer?

I'm just aware of two:
(1) You could apply as an apprentice
(2) or you could attend a JAR-66 course

Or does an apprentice also take JAR-66 ???
I'm a little confused ...

Thanks a lot for any info

First of all why do you want an FAA A&P ? It would be more benifical to get a JAR 66 Licence (A&P to work on N reg aircraft) seeing as you live and presumably work in Europe.

The ideal start would be to get an apprenticeship with an Airline but like Cadet Pilot courses these have dried up recently. Your next step would be to go to an aeronautical college/school and study for your JAR licences. These would normally take about three years including your practical lessons. Give me a mail if you need more info.

You can do an A&P in 14 months at NAIA in South Carolina. www.naiasc.com has details of the course.

Thanks JetFixer - South Carolina is a little bit far away, but good to know...

And crompo, I've sent you a private - thanks
