Common Questions
What opportunities are available in Florida as an A&P mechanic?
Melbourne is home to Embraer's first U.S. aircraft assembly plant, where the company assembles its Phenom executive jets and final-assembles its Praetor business jets. Beyond that, FAA-certificated maintenance shops across Florida 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 Florida?
No. Some of the FAA-approved Part 147 aviation maintenance schools in Florida include Eastern Florida State College (Melbourne), Florida State College at Jacksonville, Aviation Institute of Maintenance (Orlando), George T. Baker Aviation Technical College (Miami), National Aviation Academy (Clearwater), A&P Mechanic Institute (Lakeland), Broward College (Pembroke Pines), Central Florida Aerospace Academy (Lakeland), Charlotte Technical College (Port Charlotte), Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (Daytona Beach), Epic Aviation (New Smyrna Beach), George Stone Technical College (Pensacola), Lively Technical College (Tallahassee), Lorenzo Walker Technical College (Naples), Northwest Florida State College (Crestview), Pensacola State College (Pensacola), Tom P. Haney Technical College (Panama City), Universal Technical Institute (Miramar), US Aviation Academy (Kissimmee). 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.
