Common Questions
What opportunities are available in New Jersey as an A&P mechanic?
Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, in Burlington and Ocean Counties, is the U.S. Department of Defense's only tri-service joint base, uniting Air Force airlift and aerial-refueling, Army training, and Navy naval-air engineering on one installation. Beyond that, FAA-certificated maintenance shops across New Jersey 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 New Jersey?
No. Some of the FAA-approved Part 147 aviation maintenance schools in New Jersey include Aviation Institute of Maintenance, formerly Teterboro School of Aeronautics (Hasbrouck Heights). 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.
