Common Questions
What opportunities are available in Alabama as an A&P mechanic?
Mobile is home to Airbus's U.S. manufacturing facility, which assembles A320- and A220-family jetliners on its final assembly lines. Beyond that, FAA-certificated maintenance shops across Alabama can supervise on-the-job training where you log experience toward your A&P certificate under 14 CFR 65.77.
Do I need to attend an A&P school in Alabama?
No. Some of the FAA-approved Part 147 aviation maintenance schools in Alabama include Coastal Alabama Community College (Mobile), Enterprise State Community College – Alabama Aviation College (Ozark), Snead State Community College (Albertville), Southern Union State Community College (Wadley), Alabama Aviation College (Decatur). You don't have to attend one — the FAA also recognizes documented on-the-job training under 14 CFR 65.77 as a path to A&P eligibility.
How on-the-job training works anywhere in the U.S. — the hours, the FAA tests, and what you need to start — is in our A&P on-the-job training guide.
