Common Questions
What opportunities are available in Oregon as an A&P mechanic?
Central Point, Oregon, is home to Erickson Inc., the OEM and FAA type-certificate holder for the heavy-lift S-64 Air Crane helicopter, which it manufactures, maintains, and overhauls for aerial firefighting and heavy-lift operations worldwide. Beyond that, FAA-certificated maintenance shops across Oregon 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 Oregon?
No. Some of the FAA-approved Part 147 aviation maintenance schools in Oregon include Portland Community College (Portland), Lane Community College (Eugene), Columbia Gorge Community College (The Dalles), Hillsboro Aero Academy (Hillsboro). 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.
