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. The Columbia Flight Standards District Office is listed above with its address and phone.
What does it cost to hire an A&P apprentice in South Carolina?
Aircraft mechanics and service technicians in South Carolina earn a median of about $75,160 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.
