Common Questions
What opportunities are available in Colorado as an A&P mechanic?
United Launch Alliance, the 50/50 Boeing–Lockheed Martin joint venture that launches U.S. national-security (Department of Defense) and NASA payloads, is headquartered in Centennial, Colorado. Beyond that, FAA-certificated maintenance shops across Colorado 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 Colorado?
No. Some of the FAA-approved Part 147 aviation maintenance schools in Colorado include Colorado Northwestern Community College (Rangely), Spartan College of Aeronautics and Technology (Broomfield), Aims Community College (Greeley), Cherry Creek Innovation Campus (Centennial), Warren Tech South (Littleton). 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.
