FAA FSDOs Serving Arizona
What is a FSDO? Your local FAA office: it verifies the on-the-job hours you've logged and clears you to take the FAA mechanic tests. The FAA divides Arizona between 2 FSDOs — yours is the one serving your area. Three counties are split between the two offices; if you're in one, the service-area map on each office's FAA page shows which office serves your town:

Common Questions
What opportunities are available in Arizona as an A&P mechanic?
Boeing performs final assembly and testing of the AH-64 Apache attack helicopter at its Mesa, Arizona site, the only U.S. Apache production line, building aircraft for the U.S. Army and global customers. Beyond that, FAA-certificated maintenance shops across Arizona 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 Arizona?
No. Some of the FAA-approved Part 147 aviation maintenance schools in Arizona include Pima Community College (Tucson), Chandler-Gilbert Community College (Mesa), West-MEC (Glendale), American Leadership Academy Applied Technologies (Mesa). 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.
