Common Questions
What opportunities are available in Arkansas as an A&P mechanic?
Little Rock is home to Dassault Falcon Jet's completion center, the largest of the company's four U.S. locations, where Falcon business jets manufactured in France are flown in to receive exterior paint, avionics, and custom interiors. Beyond that, FAA-certificated maintenance shops across Arkansas 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 Arkansas?
No. Some of the FAA-approved Part 147 aviation maintenance schools in Arkansas include University of Arkansas – Pulaski Technical College (North Little Rock), Southern Arkansas University Tech (Camden), Arkansas Northeastern College (Blytheville), Arkansas State University Mid-south (West Memphis). 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.
