Common Questions
How do I become an aircraft mechanic (A&P) in Kingsland, Texas?
One path is supervised on-the-job training: log the practical experience required under 14 CFR 65.77 under a certificated mechanic, document it (FAA Form 8610-2), then pass the FAA written, oral, and practical tests (14 CFR 65.75).
How long does it take to become an A&P mechanic through on-the-job training?
Under 14 CFR 65.77, you need at least 18 months of documented practical experience for a single rating (Airframe or Powerplant), or 30 months working both at the same time, under a certificated mechanic — then you pass the FAA written, oral, and practical tests.
