I finally got my rating after 10+ years of airplane ownership and 20+
years of being a pilot.
I satisified the experience part by working on my planes and a few
others and having multiple IA's vouching for me.
If your planning on getting your A&P or even doing your own work on your
plane, get the 43.13 manual.
Get the paper (hardcopy) version!!!
You'll learn so much on how to do things correctly and not by heresay.
It sure helps if you need repairs while your away from home. Your more
likely to be able to borrow things from other maint shops if your an A&P.

Michelle,
Good to hear that you actually make some money doing what you love. How long
was the schooling? I was looking to get the rating to make myself a better
owner/pilot. If getting the rating is time consuming, I may have to pass
given that I have a non-aviation daytime job and a budding family at home.
Has anyone out there been able to get their A&P part time?

Marco,
I went back to school to get my A&P long after I got my PPL.
I now earn a living using my A&P for a regional airline. Four of us in
my class ended up working for the same Company. I am working towards
earning a living with my current rating, ATP.
It was a great experience. Three of us in my class were Pilots.

I was curious to hear about your story. For example, have you found it
helpful as an owner and/or pilot? Did it take a long time to obtain? What
are the pros and cons? Has it saved your ass at all? Given the same
situation, would you do it again?
Thanks!
Marco
