Supervising an A&P Apprentice in Iowa
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 below — the local FAA office that verifies their supervised experience and authorizes them to take the mechanic tests.
Des Moines Flight Standards District Office

- Address: 3753 SE Convenience Blvd., Ankeny, IA 50021 (by appointment only)
- Phone: (515) 289-3840
