Common Questions
What opportunities are available in Maine as an A&P mechanic?
Pratt & Whitney's plant in North Berwick, Maine — at more than one million square feet, the largest manufacturing facility under one roof in the state — produces modules, components, and parts for commercial and military jet engines, including the F135 engine that powers the F-35 Lightning II fighter. Beyond that, FAA-certificated maintenance shops across Maine 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 Maine?
No. Some of the FAA-approved Part 147 aviation maintenance schools in Maine include University of Maine at Augusta — Aviation Maintenance Technician School (Brunswick). 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.
