Common Questions
What opportunities are available in North Dakota as an A&P mechanic?
Cirrus Aircraft operates a 165,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Grand Forks, North Dakota — where the carbon-fiber airframes for its SR Series piston planes and SF50 Vision Jet are built — and broke ground in 2025 on a $13 million expansion. Beyond that, FAA-certificated maintenance shops across North Dakota 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 North Dakota?
No. Some of the FAA-approved Part 147 aviation maintenance schools in North Dakota include North Dakota State College of Science (Fargo). 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.
