Supervising an A&P Apprentice in Florida
Your shop can grow its own mechanics. Under 14 CFR 65.77, the supervised hours an apprentice logs under your certificated A&Ps count toward their mechanic certificate — no Part 147 school required. You document the training as it happens; when your apprentice is ready, FAA Form 8610-2 goes to the FSDO serving your county — the local FAA office that verifies their supervised experience and authorizes them to take the mechanic tests. The FAA divides Florida between 4 FSDOs:

Common Questions
What FAA office do my A&P apprentices report to when turning in their OJT experience documentation?
Nothing is filed until your apprentice is ready to test. Then they bring FAA Form 8610-2 and their documented experience to the FSDO serving the county where they work, which verifies the experience and authorizes the tests. 4 FSDOs serve Florida: Tampa (25 counties), Orlando (24 counties), Alabama & Northwest Florida (10 counties), and South Florida (8 counties). Each is listed above with its address and phone.
What does it cost to hire an A&P apprentice in Florida?
Aircraft mechanics and service technicians in Florida earn a median of about $76,940 a year (BLS, May 2025). An apprentice isn't certificated yet, so we recommend paying below that, with raises in steps as they progress (for example, as they pass each FAA test) until they earn their A&P.
