Line Up and Wait
I'm currently shopping for my first plane, and although I don't want to work in maintenance professionally I would eventually like to get an A&P through logged maintenance/assist time.
But for now, I am just looking at planes and trying to understand what can or has legally been done to the planes I look at.
I am really curious about how STCs, 337s, and shared type certificates work. I have lots of questions ranging from "Can I remove the back seats of a plane and subtract their weight, or would I need to have an A&P do a new W&B?" to "Since the Cessna 150/152 share the 3A19 Type Certificate, can an O-235 be installed in a 150 without an STC?"
My questions are less about yes/no answers and more about understanding the process, so I am looking for a website, some videos, or a study guide of sorts to help me better understand it. Can anyone recommend a good source?
