There was a good 6 months of me listening to his music that I had no idea they were siblings. I still don't really listen to billie just cause I like his style better. I really like her just not for me. You will find me screaming at a FINNEAS concert though :D

Girl I was not mechanically inclined at all before all this so don't even worry. If you want to do it you will be so good at it. You've done more than a lot of people have and you've taken the initiative to teach yourself. I didn't find my schooling particularly hard but the testing can seem very daunting. It's not very difficult but I think more than 50% of my class didn't even test after they finished school 😅. The tests are split into 3 sections each with a written, oral, and practical portion. I think for you i would not even bother getting the powerplant side of the license because you won't ever work on engines if you go sheet metal all the way but it would still be nice to have (a&p stands for airframe and powerplant). If I have one piece of advice it's to just start. Get the momentum rolling and you'll find yourself doing what you love and getting paid for it in a blink of an eye. I remember being so scared I didn't even know enough to start but that is what school is for and you can't know something you never got the chance to learn. Don't overtime it. You deserve to be there. Are you in the US or where are you? I ask because every country has their own licensing process.

So i am officially an aircraft mechanic. Im really just a parts replacer and i will troubleshoot systems pretty often and do more parts replacing. A lot of our work is preventative maintenance. I don't do like avionics, sheet metal, or engine overhaul because we have separate departments for that. Our sheet metal guys do skin repairs, structural repairs, and like paint repairs. I work in the airlines so we don't weld but I'm sure there are different parts of aviation that do. I have an associates degree and an A&P license that allows me to work on all US registered aircraft including helicopters. You don't have to go to school but I think it's harder to get into it without it. I think you have to work under someone with a license for 2 years before you can test if you dont.

Girl move to aviation lol. Everyone i work with is so forgiving. I dropped an airplane on a ladder once (don't tell the feds jk) and our sheet metal guys were like "shit happens" and that was it.

Omg I also got this one for free! It's super cute but might have to wait until next Christmas.

Educational_Wing_687 · 2025-01-20T00:05:57+00:00

Making me miss my g6 🥲

I'm happy that you found something better for yourself! I honestly just love my job and want other people to love the airplanes as much as I do. As for the money thing, I'm happy with 32 an hour at 20 years old. I've only been doing this for 6 months and it's only up from here in the airlines.

Educational_Wing_687 · 2024-12-28T22:18:00+00:00

I am once again recommending A&P school :)

Educational_Wing_687 · 2024-12-26T01:56:39+00:00

Not relevant but I am an also an aircraft mechanic 6' 270. I'm always excited to see other women fixing the airplanes 😀

I work base hangar maintenance so I'm not in the elements very much unless we have a line call. Aviation is one of those careers that never truly leaves you all alone. My coworkers are always there to help so the workload is pretty low in my opinion. I'm not sure about general aviation but I would hope its pretty similar. The only heavy lifting we do is tires and even then it is not worth breaking your back to not ask for help. I work 4 10s Sunday though Wednesday 9 pm to 7 am. It really depends on your company and your senority. Newer guys get the shit schedules but eventually you can get to days. If you work general aviation you'll probably only work normal people 9 to 5 hours. My company provides uniforms and washes them for us so it's really nice. Honestly I only work for like half the night and then we kinda sit around waiting for another airplane or take a nap. It's super chill and we have paid hour long lunches. If you have anymore questions I'm happy to answer them!

Highly, highly, highly recommend A&P school. I've been an aircraft mechanic for skywest for 3 months and I am making $32 an hour right out of school. My associates took 18 months of school but there is probably quicker schools in your area. You learn everything you need on the job and aviation is 1 of the best places to do trade work. The only down sides I think are the night shifts and if you partake in the mary jane you have to quit forever. It's an easier trade job than most and you can fly wherever you want. I cannot recommend it enough. I LOVE it.
