So today my instructor took me into one of the maintenance hangars where there was a Warrior with the cowling completely removed for some maintenance work. He was giving me a practice oral exam and wanted me to ID things on the engine.
I've been a Technician of some sort for the better part of 15 years, most recently the last 10 years a diesel technician. I know mechanical things well.
Needless to say, my instructor couldn't stump me and I actually pointed out that he was wrong about where the carb heat shroud and tube were located LOL.
The shop looked cool and there were a lot of different planes in there. Everything was really clean, well lit, and organized.
What's involved in an A&P career? Time to train? Pay? Moving up to bigger stuff? I'm just being curious at the moment. I have always thought a job in aviation would be awesome, and I just don't think a freight hauler or ATP is in my future due to my age. But I'm a damn good tech, and I definitely wouldn't need many tools!
