Aviation: A&P Mechanic

Denny,
Maybe a school you went to or know was a scam. The one I went two was
not. Lots of hands on and good instructors who worked the industry. I
learned a lot just chatting with them after class. You get out of it
what you put into it.

Of all the people who have earned their A&P license, something like
25% have never exercised the privileges of the certificate. That should
tell you something. I know several people who graduated approved
programs and never got the license. A&P schools are a scam because the
only thing you learn is to pass the test-if you are lucky. I think the
_only_ way to get the license should be the experience route (but
homebuilding and restoring should count.)

I would like for their to be a category for owner maintenance in the USA,
either like Canada has or an alternative where an owner, who's been through
training in the relevant arts and passed an examination, can maintain his
*own*, not for hire, single piston engine airplane, non-pressurised, 6 or fewer
seats.

There are people like me, who can handle it, and do work at least as good as
what I've been finding done to my plane over the years by licensed mechanics. I
dare say, better, since my ass is the one in the air.
