Common Questions
What opportunities are available in Washington as an A&P mechanic?
Boeing's Everett Factory in Everett, Washington — the world's largest building by volume at more than 472 million cubic feet — assembles widebody jets including the 767 (and its KC-46 Pegasus tanker), the 777, and the new 777X. Beyond that, FAA-certificated maintenance shops across Washington 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 Washington?
No. Some of the FAA-approved Part 147 aviation maintenance schools in Washington include Big Bend Community College (Moses Lake), Clover Park Technical College (Lakewood), Everett Community College (Everett), South Seattle College (Seattle), Spokane Community College (Spokane), Moody Aviation (Spokane). 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.
