Common Questions
What opportunities are available in Kentucky as an A&P mechanic?
Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport in Kentucky is home to UPS Worldport, the company's global air hub, and ranked among the world's busiest cargo airports — 5th in the world and 3rd in North America in 2024. Beyond that, FAA-certificated maintenance shops across Kentucky 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 Kentucky?
No. Some of the FAA-approved Part 147 aviation maintenance schools in Kentucky include Jefferson Community and Technical College (Louisville), Somerset Community College (Somerset), Madisonville Community College (Madisonville), Maysville Community and Technical College (Maysville). 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.
