Common Questions
What opportunities are available in Connecticut as an A&P mechanic?
East Hartford, Connecticut, is the headquarters of Pratt & Whitney, one of the world's largest aircraft engine manufacturers. Beyond that, FAA-certificated maintenance shops across Connecticut 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 Connecticut?
No. Some of the FAA-approved Part 147 aviation maintenance schools in Connecticut include CT Aero Tech School (Hartford), Stratford School for Aviation Maintenance (Stratford). 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.
