Common Questions
What opportunities are available in Idaho as an A&P mechanic?
Empire Airlines, headquartered in Hayden, Idaho and based at Coeur d'Alene Airport, is a FedEx Feeder cargo carrier that flies and maintains a fleet of ATR and Cessna turboprop aircraft and holds an FAA Repair Station certificate. Beyond that, FAA-certificated maintenance shops across Idaho 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 Idaho?
No. Some of the FAA-approved Part 147 aviation maintenance schools in Idaho include Idaho State University (Pocatello). 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.
