Chart Your Course in Aviation

Pursuing an Airframe and PowerPlant (A&P) mechanics certification is governed by strict FAA regulations, specifically FAR 65.71-65.77. To be eligible for the FAA written exams, candidates must demonstrate relevant mechanical experience. Here are the specifics:

• Powerplant Mechanic Rating: At least 18 months of practical experience with aircraft engines.
• Airframe Mechanic Rating: At least 18 months of experience working on airframes.
• Combined A&P Rating: A combined total of 30 months of experience across both airframes and powerplants.

If you're uncertain about your experience or how it aligns with these requirements, please contact us. Our knowledgeable staff are ready to help you assess your options and guide you through the process.

Your Tickets to A&P Certification: The FAA 8610-2 Forms

To enroll at Global School of Aeronautics as a candidate for the A&P license, obtaining signed FAA 8610-2 forms is imperative. This ensures the FAA recognizes your experience and approves you for the written exams post-course completion. Experience can be proven in any of the following ways:

1. A certificate from an FAA-approved civilian mechanic school.
2. A military discharge record (DD-214) indicating the necessary mechanic experience.
3. A "mechanic's experience letter" from a superior or licensed mechanic validating your work history.

Upon securing any of these forms of verification, your next step is to visit your local FAA FSDO (Flight Standard District Office).

Seamless Testing and Certification

The FAA mandates that candidates pass all three written tests. To facilitate this, we offer examinations conducted by FAA-designated mechanic examiners. Testing is available in the morning, afternoon, and on weekends, typically within 2-3 days of completing the course. Rest assured, the Oral and Practical Exam fees are included in your course tuition.
