Common Questions
What opportunities are available in Massachusetts as an A&P mechanic?
GE Aerospace's plant in Lynn, Massachusetts built America's first jet engine — the I-A, first run on April 18, 1942 — and the same site still designs, assembles, and tests military and commercial aircraft engines today. Beyond that, FAA-certificated maintenance shops across Massachusetts 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 Massachusetts?
No. Some of the FAA-approved Part 147 aviation maintenance schools in Massachusetts include National Aviation Academy — New England (Concord), Cape Cod Community College (Plymouth), Westfield Technical Academy (Westfield), Franklin County Technical School (Turners Falls), Greater Lawrence Technical School (Andover). 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.
