Common Questions
What opportunities are available in Louisiana as an A&P mechanic?
NASA's Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans, Louisiana — an 829-acre complex nicknamed "America's Rocket Factory" — builds the core stage of the Space Launch System, the largest rocket stage NASA has ever constructed, along with Orion spacecraft components for the Artemis Moon missions. Beyond that, FAA-certificated maintenance shops across Louisiana 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 Louisiana?
No. Some of the FAA-approved Part 147 aviation maintenance schools in Louisiana include SOWELA Technical Community College (Lake Charles), Baton Rouge Community College (Central), South Louisiana Community College (Lafayette), Southern University (Shreveport). 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.
