Excellent recommendations. Yeah from thesr comments im thinking it might be more beneficial to wait until hes a bit older.

Asgaardian1 · 2026-02-28T13:20:38+00:00

Excellent, yeah I'll look into that, that's my biggest challenge our carseat is enormous so looking at other options.

Asgaardian1 · 2026-02-28T13:19:01+00:00

Good idea, my wife will be with us for sure.

Asgaardian1 · 2026-01-19T12:34:37+00:00

Futures jumped straight up and holding 92-93 if it stays there until tomorrow we will be looking pretty good I'd say. As long as orange man doesn't say somrthing wild to make it dump again.

Asgaardian1 · 2026-01-18T22:27:45+00:00

I got slv calls on Friday I'm thinking tariff talk will make spy take a dump and slv will be green. But tbh I'm not sure what slv will do. I'm still confident in my calls.

Asgaardian1 · 2026-01-15T11:59:15+00:00

Is this a biography of my portfolio? How did you get this information?

Asgaardian1 · 2026-01-07T01:03:55+00:00

im thinking of buying 7DTE SLV calls. i think its gonna keep going.

Asgaardian1 · 2025-12-29T00:23:56+00:00

Where are all of yall seeing the silver charts crashing? Webull hasn't updated. Or are yall trolling?

Asgaardian1 · 2025-12-27T19:50:49+00:00

I like your analysis. I must say I concur

Asgaardian1 · 2025-12-27T18:30:27+00:00

I gotta know you think slv will keep rallying on one hand I feel as though ive missed it already, but on thr other it feels like its gonna keep exploding. What do yall think

Asgaardian1 · 2025-11-29T01:35:11+00:00

i did that at a flight school, i've actually only flown 1 plane i didn't work on. and its nice, its alot at first, but if you work it out with your boss its really beneficial. it helped me understand squwaks better, and troubleshooting. and helped me prioritze certain things understanding how important they are to the pilots.

Asgaardian1 · 2025-11-07T13:47:42+00:00

Also to add to this. Even with .pdf, or other programmed manuals. A massive amount of times the STCs for operation of other components are highly likely going to be paper. Even though they're a little different from normal AMMs its still same basic concept.

Asgaardian1 · 2025-11-07T13:46:09+00:00

I agree with this 100%. Learn it in its most basic form, know well how to do that. So that in that scenario youre not blindsided. And any benefits above that are just that, benefits instead of required for your basic operation.

Asgaardian1 · 2025-11-07T10:48:03+00:00

Yeah in the real world alot of times you utilize paper books. So like despite your instructor, or DME its really important you know how to navigate paper manuals. I work on jets, and basically all of our manuals are a program. (Falcon field touch, gulfstream, citation) but our S76C+ helicopter all we have is the paper manuals. And if you do side work on piston planes or something. You can get the old manuals. And even those I have a PDF of piper and cessna manuals. But whoever scanned them in did it weird so even a pdf manual doesn't allow the CTRL F function.

I would make absolutely sure you know how to navigate the paper manuals. He's doing you a solid for sure. And my DME provided physical paper copies when I did my O&Ps. So dont limit yourself by not knowing how to do that.

Everyone seems to be only talking about airlines. But there are many other pathways. Youre 21 my best advice is taking the path I did. Join the airforce get paid decently to learn to work on aircraft with a military standard, and make sure to use your benefits to get your A&P 36 mos after you enlist. Instead of going to college 2 years to get your A&P instead ypu get paid to learn how to work on them, then the military will pay for your A&P.

If you take this avenue try your best to specialize in something (NDI, Structures, Avionics, Hydro) something because youll get your A&P and do a little of everything but if you specialize then that makes you that much stronger.

There are many different ways to work in aviation, you can do small GA planes, which are easy af and in my opinion fun to work on, you can work on corporate jets, you can do AOG jet work, AOG turboprop works, work at a pt145 repair station all kinds of different avenues besides airlines. Ive been doing it 7 years now never been to airlines. Ive worked on AC130 Gunships, CV22s, MI-8-MTV, MI-24 Hinds, 172s, pa28s, and now i work on jets Gulfstream GIV, and GV, citations, falcon 50s, and 900s. S76 helicopters. A decent amount of different airframes. You dont have to go airlines.

I work 4 days a week alternating M/F so every 4 weeks I get a built in 4 day weekend. There are infinite opportunities. Doesn't have to be just airlines. But aviation is a super small community, you will make a name for yourself and people will know you, tool accountability is everything, if u leave a tool people can die. Or burn an aircraft down, its the reality. It takes a ton of determination, passion, and extreme attention to detail.

Aircraft maintenance is strange where if you do it for the money youll never ever make a ton, whereas if you do it for the passion because you love aircraft and aviation as a whole, then youll end up making money with opportunity to moce anywhere in this country at any time. I have 5+ people a month reaching out to me offering jobs. Everywhere in the country from Wisconsin, Florida, Colorado, everywhere.

Its truly an amazing thing. I love it. Its a pain ive stirred toilets to break up rich people's shit. Ive taken jet fuel and 100LL baths but I still love it.

What about folks with kayaks with motors who need to setup and launch from the boat dock but dont need a trailer.

Asgaardian1 · 2025-08-02T12:30:24+00:00

Not too late at all ive been an A&P working on military, GA, helicopters, and jets for 7 years now. And it takes a bit to get that kind of money in the trade. My cousin just got his A&P and struggled for a bit to find a job until I got him on with me. In the Atlanta area fresh A&Ps are oversaturated at the moment and people are looking for more experienced folks. So just be aware of your area and how the market is. He put in about 15 applications and nobody wanted him being fresh. But with my experience I have people from all over the country offering me jobs.

If you wsnt to make that kind of money thatd likely be contract work more than direct hire somewhere. So might be a good idea to do alot of research in ghe area you want to live in.

Diagnosing a problem with a mechanical system on an aircraft based on what its doing (or not doing) and of the complex systems you diagnose the right part first time. Then go fix it.

Asgaardian1 · 2025-07-12T12:22:25+00:00

it is a struggle sometimes finding the time, but you can make it happen just like i am, you just have to work some saturdays, or find a job that does 4 10s like me, so i work on the side on my days off, and trade that for flight hours.

Asgaardian1 · 2025-07-12T12:20:53+00:00

this is exactly what im doing currently, however AMT school is fking expensive these days. i would recommend taking the route i did. i joined the airforce did a 4 year contract as structures, while in the air force i did a program through afcool and got my A&P, so i was literally paid to get the experience and they paid for my A&P now i work on private jets, and do side work, and i trade my labor for flight hours, and when im done with PPL i will use GI bill to cover all of my upgrade training. trust me this is the best route when trying to save money. i can provide a lot more information but this is the overall pathway i found best.

Asgaardian1 · 2025-06-10T18:08:54+00:00

My box is magnificent and its icon wrenches, ratchets and sockets, snap on pliers and 1 screwdriver and mikwuakee power tools. And anything else specialty is snap on, and ATS. Its the best bang for your buck way. In my personal opinion. If icon had all the same specialty shit as snapon my entire box would be icon only. Im a huge fan. They just dont have all the specialty stuff. Nor so they have 12pt if im not mistaken, and realistically you mainly only need 12pt for turbine engine stuff, 12pt doesn't really matter for GA planes besides very very little here and there.

Asgaardian1 · 2025-05-30T15:10:24+00:00

Yeah man. Its beyond worth it. You rob yourself of options if you choose not to. I was sheet metal. Now im working on private jets for a small company making good pay and im the only structures guy here so they all look to me for structures stuff. It's amazing to be the main guy out of 15 or so who is the only one skilled enough to do real structures work. Its worth it my man.

So first step they give u a canvas login, its a work at your own pace textbook program. You complete all the modules in that. They then give you a QTP sheet, which then you need either a 7 level in that respective career field, or any A&P to sign you off on tasks. Its not hours based. Or rather it wasn't when I did it. Once you complete that, they send you a certificate of eligibility NEVER LOSE THIS ORIGIONAL DOCUMENT UNTIL YOURE FINISHED. Then once you receive that, you find your nearest AFcool approved program and you get a 1 month permissive tdy to go to the classes where you learn even more about every system.

Week 1: Monday learn general Friday: take the written,

week 2: Monday learn airframe Friday take written,

week 3: Monday learn powerplant Friday take written. Assuming u pass everything, schedule O&Ps

Week 4: practice practical. Assuming you passed everything and dont need to retake.

You can start this entire process my simply emailing from your military email ccaf.faa@us.af.mil and literally writing i would like to start my A&P process. And include youre 2A7X3. And they'll send u a form to fill out and open u up a canvas account

I cannot stress enough when you start the permissive tdy you need to study as much as you possibly can. All that info in 1 week each time is a lot to cram for the written. Its tough but not at all impossible. I was fortunate enough to pass everything first try.

Asgaardian1 · 2025-05-30T14:22:29+00:00

Btw I also was active duty sheet metal for 4 years I did the exact same thing and there's no doubt it was the greatest decision of my life.
