Common Questions
What opportunities are available in Missouri as an A&P mechanic?
Boeing's Defense, Space & Security division builds military aircraft in the St. Louis, Missouri area, including the F-15 Eagle (and the new F-15EX Eagle II) and the T-7A Red Hawk trainer for the U.S. Air Force. Beyond that, FAA-certificated maintenance shops across Missouri 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 Missouri?
No. Some of the FAA-approved Part 147 aviation maintenance schools in Missouri include State Technical College of Missouri (Linn), Aviation Institute of Maintenance (Kansas City), Ozark Technical Community College (Springfield). 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.
