Common Questions
What opportunities are available in Delaware as an A&P mechanic?
Dover Air Force Base in Dover, Delaware flies the C-5M Super Galaxy and is home to the 436th Aerial Port Squadron, the Department of Defense's largest aerial port. Beyond that, FAA-certificated maintenance shops across Delaware 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 Delaware?
No. Some of the FAA-approved Part 147 aviation maintenance schools in Delaware include Delaware Technical Community College (Georgetown). 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.
