Common Questions
What opportunities are available in Ohio as an A&P mechanic?
GE Aerospace is headquartered in Evendale, Ohio, just outside Cincinnati, on the former Wright Aeronautical engine plant where GE began assembling jet engines in 1948. Beyond that, FAA-certificated maintenance shops across Ohio 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 Ohio?
No. Some of the FAA-approved Part 147 aviation maintenance schools in Ohio include Sinclair Community College (Dayton), Columbus State Community College (Columbus), Cincinnati State Technical and Community College (Harrison), Federal Aerospace Institute (Swanton), Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics — Youngstown (Vienna), Greene County Career Center (Xenia), Miami Valley Career Technology Center (Englewood), Great Oaks — Laurel Oaks Career Campus (Wilmington), Mahoning County Career and Technical Center (Canfield), Aerospace Center, Toledo Public Schools (Swanton), Butler Technology & Career Development Schools (Middletown). 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.
