Supervising an A&P Apprentice in Kentucky

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 Kentucky between 2 FSDOs:

Apprentice Pipeline: AMT Schools in Kentucky

FAA Part 147 schools are one pipeline for apprentice candidates in Kentucky — students and recent graduates often look for shops where they can keep logging experience. The FAA certificates 4 Part 147 aviation maintenance schools in Kentucky:

  • Jefferson Community and Technical College (Louisville)
  • Somerset Community College (Somerset)
  • Madisonville Community College (Madisonville)
  • Maysville Community and Technical College (Maysville)

You don't have to wait on a school pipeline: the apprentices above are candidates for on-the-job training your certificated mechanics can supervise under 14 CFR 65.77.

Your shop doesn't need to be a Part 147 school to train an A&P. Under 14 CFR 65.77, the supervised hours an apprentice logs under your certificated mechanics count toward their certificate — hiring an apprentice is how a shop grows its own A&Ps.

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. 2 FSDOs serve Kentucky: Louisville (117 counties) and Cincinnati (3 counties). Each is listed above with its address and phone.

What does it cost to hire an A&P apprentice in Kentucky?

Aircraft mechanics and service technicians in Kentucky earn a median of about $67,920 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.
