Common Questions
What opportunities are available in Hawaii as an A&P mechanic?
Honolulu's Daniel K. Inouye International Airport is the largest airport in Hawaii and the main hub of Hawaiian Airlines. Beyond that, FAA-certificated maintenance shops across Hawaii 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 Hawaii?
No. Some of the FAA-approved Part 147 aviation maintenance schools in Hawaii include Honolulu Community College. 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.
