Common Questions
What opportunities are available in New Mexico as an A&P mechanic?
Built on the former Walker Air Force Base near Roswell, New Mexico, the roughly 5,000-acre Roswell International Air Center is one of the country's largest aircraft storage and maintenance hubs, where the dry desert climate lets MRO operators such as AerSale store, overhaul, and disassemble hundreds of jetliners at a time. Beyond that, FAA-certificated maintenance shops across New Mexico 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 Mexico?
No. Some of the FAA-approved Part 147 aviation maintenance schools in New Mexico include Central New Mexico Community College (Albuquerque), Eastern New Mexico University–Roswell (Roswell). 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.
