Am I an A&P mechanic? No. Can I change a spark plug? Yes.

Huh? I carry that in the back of the cherokee all the time! I've been stuck
in airports within an hour drive of a major city but at night
with no shop open (or available). And spare landing light and position
lights. And quart of oil.

And I can barely find the engine in my car.
